Everyone should visit the Galapagos Islands… the experience is magical! During our adventure we will seek out the endemic species of birds and other animals of the Galapagos. Some of the bird species include Darwin’s finches, Galapagos Penguin, Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos Dove, Swallow-tailed Gull and Waved Albatross—doing their wonderful courtship dance! Other creatures we will see include Land Iguanas, Marine Iguanas, Lava Lizards and two endemic species of butterflies.

Galapagos Photography
Photography opportunities abound as each day will include land excursions on different islands. Most days will also include snorkeling opportunities to enjoy swimming with sea lions, sea turtles and hundreds of species of fish… so bring an underwater camera, too. We will also fit within our schedule mini photography workshops to help you get the best images of each location we visit while learning more and improving the quality of your photography.

Galapagos Birding
Birding in the Galapagos is easy… however, the slower we go the more we will see. Our birding will entail quiet observation as we sit and enjoy our incredible surrounds. While taking our time birding, we will see other Galapagos wildlife like butterflies, reptiles and insects.

Highlights:

You’ll get personal attention from two tour leaders PLUS our local Galapagos naturalist
Kevin has been to the Galapagos 30+ times and knows the best yachts and itineraries
Wildside spends more time on the islands than any other company
Our groups usually arrive 90 minutes before any other boat and stay long after they leave
We visit the islands at the best time of day as well for wildlife activity and light for photography

Single Room Preferred (HOTEL ONLY)
Prices are per person double occupancy. If a single room is preferred in our Quito hotel, a single supplement fee of $300 will be charged.

Single Cabin on the YACHT and HOTEL
Due to the limited number of rooms (8 cabins) on board the yacht for our small-group adventure, a single room request would require us to take one less person on the tour. Due to this, the single supplement fee will be an additional 75% of the tour cost and will only be offered less than 60 days from departure, if available.

All ground transportation, including transfers from arrival airport. R/T flights Quito/Galapagos/Quito. All accommodations (hotel and yacht). All meals from breakfast on first full day through breakfast on departure day.

Not Included in the Tour Cost:
International air travel, passport fees, luggage fees, trip insurance (required), tips for boat crew (optional), $100 National Park Entrance Fee, alcoholic beverages, bottled beverages on board the boat, departure taxes, phone calls, laundry, or other items of a personal nature.

Kevin Loughlin was raised to appreciate nature while exploring the woodlands of Pennsylvania as a child. At age six, during a family trip through the American West, Kevin became fascinated with photography as well seeing the new and different birds throughout North America. Instilled with a love for travel and seeking new, exciting destinations he felt a desire to share his experiences with others and in 1993 he created Wildside.

Kevin’s photographs and articles have appeared in publications such as Nature Photographer, WildBird, Audubon and Philadelphia Magazines, as well as the many natural history books.

Kevin teaches beginning birding classes and nature photography classes through several adult education venues as well as through seminars and workshops for groups, organizations and schools.
