In 1967, Lars-Eric Lindblad led the first-ever expedition cruise to Galápagos for international travelers, ushering in a new era of exploration for the archipelago. That voyage laid the foundation for ecotourism on the islands and initiated a rich tradition of taking guests deep into an astonishing wildlife sanctuary to discover it from every possible angle.

With the recent launch of National Geographic Delfina and National Geographic Gemini, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions deepens their commitment to this remarkable place and expands the ways that guests can experience it. You now have more options in the Galápagos than ever before—more departures, more types of accommodations and more flexibility. Whether you're planning far in advance or looking for a last-minute adventure, now is the perfect time to secure your expedition.

With National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, you explore alongside expert naturalists, certified photo instructors and undersea specialists. You’ll be part of a legacy more than 60 years in the making—rooted in conservation and driven by curiosity. And with more ways to sail, you can choose the itinerary, ship and timing that’s right for you.
