A Typical Day As An Explorer

Each day passengers awaken in a new part of the islands and disembark shortly afterbreakfast for morning activities, which include a walk through one of the various visitorsites followed by a snorkelling excursion.After lunch the boat moves to a new visitor site. During this time guests have theopportunity to rest and look for marine life from one of the decks.Later in the afternoon passengers disembark for another nature walk, and perhapsanother opportunity to snorkel, swim, or kayak.

Reviews

@Darius Jakovchuk
All the tour guides were exceptional. I could see in Ecuador, people study at the University to become a qualified tour guide, so it was amazing being guided by professionals. Andrea was our tour guide during our cruise it the Beluga, she is knowledgeable and very funny, she definitely exceeded our expectations
@Jesse Bougardt
The Beluga was exactly what we wanted. Great itinerary and great crew, they went above and beyond to accommodate my complex situation.
