Reality Check
The trip is great for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and for those with an interest in history or geology, but you should note that due to the volcanic nature of the islands there will be some walking on rough ground and sharp volcanic rocks.
Due to local regulations in the Galapagos, there is usually very little disruption to the schedule, but this can also mean little deviation in the event of poor weather or other circumstances.
Landings on the islands are divided into two types – wet and dry. For dry landings, Cachalote’s panga (motorised dinghy) will take you right up to a landing stage or rocky outcrop, where you can disembark without getting wet. However in some places where there is no landing stage the panga will stop close to a beach and you will be expected to walk through shallow water (generally not much more than ankle-deep) to the shore.
We offer these cruises in conjunction with our Ecuadorian partners, and Exodus participants will often join an international group, not all of whom have booked through Exodus.
Although there is electricity 24 hours a day in the Amazon, you are requested to conserve it wherever possible. Hot showers exist in all en-suite bathrooms in the lodge.
Group size and age
Min. 4, max. 16, plus local leader and guides on mainland, and registered guide in Galapagos. Minimum age 16.
Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
