Ecuador – Galapagos Islands

The main part our adventure to the Galapagos Islands is a 10 night cruise.  During the 10N/11 days we will have a chance to photograph the majority of the iconic species of the islands including giant tortoises, flightless cormorant, waved albatross, and many many more.  We will, of course see sea lions and be able to photograph their interactions.

For those who wish, there are chances to snorkel in the Galapagos underwater paradise!  Gorgeous schools of colorful fish, sea lions, and marine iguanas await!  Most programs just do a 7 night cruise and always miss some portion of the islands – unless they go back and do the other 7 nights.

After the cruise we will have a 3 day visit the famous Mindo area and focus on photographing the cloud forest species that live there. Ecuador is one of the most bio diverse countries on earth and Mindo is known for its many species of hummingbirds. While we will have chances to do macro photography, main focus will be on bird photography. The giant antpitta and cock-of-the-rock are among the famous residents.

If you want to visit Amazon Rain forest and add a parrot clay lick among other rainforest species, we can add a pre-extension to Ecuadorian Amazon.
