The Galápagos, located in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, are considered one of the most remarkable and unique destinations thanks to their extraordinary biodiversity. These islands offer visitors an unforgettable encounter with rare wildlife and endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Giant tortoises, colorful marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins, sea lions, and countless seabirds all coexist in this pristine environment.
For nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike, the Galápagos are a true paradise, combining breathtaking volcanic landscapes with rich marine life and dramatic coastlines. The islands also hold historical significance, as Charles Darwin’s observations here inspired the theory of evolution by natural selection. A visit to the Galápagos is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the wonders of nature up close – wild, pure, and awe-inspiring.
A photography journey designed for intimate encounters with Galápagos wildlife.
Personal instruction by leading wildlife photographers from the PhotoTeva team.
Just 15 participants – a unique and exclusive experience.
The Angel is a modern, elegant yacht designed specifically for cruising the Galápagos, offering an intimate expedition experience at the highest standard. Built in 2023, she measures 35 meters in length and accommodates up to 16 guests only – ensuring a private, personal atmosphere far beyond that of larger vessels.
The yacht is tastefully designed in a contemporary style, featuring spacious cabins including two luxury suites, each with private balconies, and all with ensuite bathrooms, hot water, air-conditioning, and panoramic windows overlooking the ocean.
Onboard facilities include stylish lounges, a dining area, a sun deck with a jacuzzi, shaded outdoor seating, kayaks, snorkeling gear, and professional photography equipment. The Angel meets the strictest international safety standards (SOLAS) and is crewed by an experienced, professional team dedicated to providing exceptional service.
Whether enjoying a morning coffee with the sunrise, relaxing on the sun deck after a day of exploration, or sharing stories with fellow travelers, the Angel is much more than just a vessel – it is your comfortable floating home while exploring the wonders of the Galápagos.
Sailing on a private yacht – it’s all ours. With the exclusivity of a private ship, we are not restricted to the areas and limitations of large cruise vessels, and we travel as an intimate group of up to 15 participants only.
This means more time and closer encounters with the incredible wildlife of the Galápagos: giant tortoises, marine iguanas, dolphins, sea lions, penguins, and countless rare bird species. The stunning volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich marine life provide endless inspiration and photographic opportunities.
Our itinerary is carefully designed by photographers and nature experts to maximize unique encounters in the best light and conditions. Every detail is tailored for an unforgettable experience – inspiring, authentic, and truly once-in-a-lifetime.
Española Island: A breathtaking island with dramatic cliffs, green sea turtles, and the famous Galápagos albatross (in season), alongside the spectacular Gardner Bay beach and its colony of white sand and turquoise waters.
Genovesa Island: A true birdwatcher’s paradise, home to massive colonies of red-footed boobies, short-eared owls, frigatebirds, storm petrels, and many other seabirds, alongside dramatic volcanic cliffs and pristine beaches.
Chinese Hat Islet (Sombrero Chino): A picturesque cove with striking contrasts of black lava and white sand beaches, surrounded by marine iguanas, penguins, sea lions, and vibrant marine life – perfect for snorkeling alongside Galápagos penguins.
Santa Cruz Island: Home to the world-famous Charles Darwin Research Station, where giant tortoises can be seen up close, as well as lush highlands filled with unique birdlife and vibrant greenery.
And much more… the Galápagos Islands are one of the world’s most unique natural wonders, offering encounters that cannot be compared to anything else.
Why a Private Yacht?
This is not a crowded cruise with hundreds of passengers. Our yacht is entirely private and dedicated to us alone, meaning smaller groups, a more intimate and exclusive atmosphere, more time with the wildlife, and access to special places that large ships cannot reach.
We’ll meet at our Quito hotel lobby (including airport pickup). In the evening, we’ll enjoy a welcome talk and orientation, preparing for the exciting days ahead.
After a morning flight from Quito, we’ll land on Baltra Island and board our private yacht. Following lunch and a short briefing, we’ll sail to North Seymour – home to blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, sea lions, and Galápagos land iguanas. This island offers spectacular birdwatching and classic Galápagos wildlife encounters.
We’ll explore the eastern coastline of Santiago, including the stunning Chinese Hat Islet with its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and marine iguanas basking on the black lava rocks. Later, we’ll snorkel in Sullivan Bay, surrounded by dramatic volcanic formations and a wealth of marine life.
Nicknamed “Bird Island,” Genovesa is a paradise for birdwatchers. At Darwin Bay, we’ll encounter red-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, frigates, swallow-tailed gulls, and more. An afternoon hike up El Barranco (Prince Philip’s Steps) takes us to dramatic cliffs, nesting seabirds, and sweeping ocean views.
In the morning, we’ll visit James Bay (Puerto Egas) on Santiago Island. Tidal pools and lava formations here are home to fur seals, marine iguanas, Sally Lightfoot crabs, and shorebirds. In the afternoon, we’ll continue to Rabida Island, famous for its striking red-sand beach and lagoon often filled with flamingos, alongside sea lions and nesting seabirds.
Our day begins at the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center in Puerto Ayora, where conservation programs raise giant tortoises and protect endemic species. In the afternoon, we’ll head into the lush Santa Cruz Highlands, where giant tortoises roam freely in the wild, surrounded by unique Scalesia forests and volcanic landscapes.
On Gardner Bay, white-sand beaches welcome sea lions and curious mockingbirds. Later at Punta Suárez, we’ll hike dramatic cliffs, encountering nesting waved albatrosses (seasonal), blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, and the colorful Española marine iguanas found nowhere else on Earth.
Morning visit to Santa Fé, home to a unique species of land iguana, with opportunities to snorkel among playful sea lions and tropical fish. In the afternoon, we’ll explore South Plaza, where dramatic cliffs host seabirds, swallow-tailed gulls, and one of the largest colonies of land iguanas in the archipelago.
We’ll take a panga (dinghy) ride into Black Turtle Cove, a tranquil mangrove lagoon where green sea turtles, golden rays, and reef sharks glide below the surface. It’s a peaceful farewell to Galápagos wildlife before returning to Baltra for our flight back to Quito.
After breakfast, we’ll say goodbye to our Galápagos adventure. Transfer to Quito airport for your international flight home, carrying unforgettable memories of one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth.
