Natural Paradise Excursion schedule

Planning a month long trip to the Galapagos was overwhelming. After months of research we settled in on the 8 day B itinerary with Natural Paradise with a week on Puerta Ayoya pre cruise and a week in San Cristobal island post-cruise.

.The Natural Paradise is a modern luxury yacht Accommodating up to 16 guests (we had 13 on our sailing) in elegant and comfortable surroundings, each cabin has a private bathroom, air-conditioning, and ample storage space. Cabins on the upper deck have their own private balconies and we choose to stay on one of these.

All guests can relax on the sundeck, with a Jacuzzi, or in the lounge/bar. There are indoor and outdoor dining areas. You can use snorkeling equipment and wetsuits to get close to fascinating marine life and capture your marvelous memories with an underwater camera.

The Natural Paradise offers an experienced naturalist to accompany all group excursions and there were plenty! The schedule got excursion is below. The pace was both intense and perfectly paced. I’m glad we have an additional week on San Cristobal to go a bit slower and let it all sink in.

Sorry for the quality, I snapped a pic at each evenings briefing and didn’t plan to post them, but I think it maybe helpful for others to see the pacing. Never a moment without an execution AND amazing food prepared by a private chef.
