Snorkeling with sea lions, penguins and sea turtles, oh my! Hiking with endemic Galapagos animals, including iguanas, beautiful birds, giant tortoises and more. If you have the chance to visit the Galapagos Islands 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

“Our trip to Churchill was beyond unbelievable. One of the most memorable moments was on Halloween. Drew Hamilton, our guide, became a Viking warrior. Besides dazzling us with his endless bear knowledge, Drew was so much fun. We were so fortunate to encounter this young female polar bear. She was afraid at first.
