Welcome Aboard Endemic
Endemic is one of the newest catamarans in the Galapagos, and can accommodate up to sixteen passengers.
Her smaller size provides guests with a more intimate way of discovering the Galapagos.
Each cabin has floor-to-ceiling windows which lead out onto a private balcony.
What we love about Endemic
- The eight beautifully designed cabins, each named after a different species endemic to the Galapagos
- The glass-bottomed kayaks, excellent for spotting the marine life beneath you
- Endemic is spacious, meaning you’ll never feel on top of other guests
- The Endemic team – nothing is ever too much for them
- Each cabin comes with binoculars and a waterproof camera, meaning guests are able to document their experiences out on the water
Explore volcanic remnants and rare plant life on Sombrero Chino Island. Visit the turquoise coves of Vicente Roca Point on Isabela and watch penguins at Tagus Cove.
Get up close to hundreds of marine iguanas sunbathing on black lava rocks on Fernandina, before heading to Urbina Bay to sight turtles and rays.
Explore Moreno’s beautiful rocky shoreline where rare blue herons are usually spotted, then journey to Santa Cruz to hike into the rugged highlands where giant tortoises roam free. Santa Fe Island is a volcanic uplift hosting a forest of Opuntia and Palo Santo, where endemic land iguanas are often hiding.
One of the most incredible wildlife zones in the archipelago is Espanola Island – head to Gardner Bay to enjoy a magnificent beach, turquoise waters and a large colony of playful sea lions.
When to Travel
The Galapagos Islands can be visited year round. Winter is May to November when temperatures are lower and the seas are a little rougher. Summer is December to April, and the odd downpour is to be expected. The sun is always strong due to the islands’ position on the Equator. Visibility is the same year-round, as are the quantity and variety of animals.
