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.
Bartholomew Island: One of the Galápagos’ most iconic sites, featuring a dramatic volcanic landscape and the world-famous view of Pinnacle Rock. Here you can snorkel alongside penguins, reef sharks, and playful sea lions.
Espinoza Point, Fernandina Island: Home to the flightless cormorant – one of the rarest birds on Earth – as well as giant marine iguanas, penguins, and abundant wildlife, all set against the backdrop of the still-active La Cumbre volcano.
Elizabeth Bay, Isabela Island: A magical inlet surrounded by rich mangroves, where you’ll encounter penguins, sea turtles, reef fish, and sea lions. This calm bay is perfect for spotting wildlife up close in crystal-clear waters.
Devil’s Crown, Floreana Island: One of the best snorkeling spots in the Galápagos, this submerged volcanic crater is teeming with tropical fish, reef sharks, sea turtles, and an incredible variety of marine life.
And much more… The Galápagos Islands are one of the most extraordinary places on Earth, offering rare encounters with unique wildlife and awe-inspiring landscapes.
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 journey ahead.
Morning flight from Quito to Baltra, where we’ll board our private yacht. In the afternoon, we’ll visit Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz – a beautiful white-sand beach where sea turtles come to nest. Here we may also spot flamingos, Sally Lightfoot crabs, and shorebirds such as black-necked stilts and whimbrels.
Morning visit to Dragon Hill, a nesting site for land iguanas and home to a lagoon frequented by flamingos and pintail ducks. In the afternoon, we’ll sail to Bartholomew Island, climbing to its summit for the legendary view of Pinnacle Rock. Snorkeling here often includes penguins, reef sharks, rays, and colorful tropical fish.
At Vicente Roca Point, we’ll explore by dinghy and snorkel in nutrient-rich waters that attract sea turtles, mola mola (sunfish), seahorses, and penguins. In the afternoon, we’ll land at Espinoza Point on Fernandina Island – the most pristine of the Galápagos – where flightless cormorants, marine iguanas, and Galápagos hawks thrive against the dramatic backdrop of the active La Cumbre volcano.
Morning visit to Tagus Cove, once a refuge for pirates and whalers, now famous for its historic inscriptions, penguins, cormorants, and breathtaking views of Darwin Lake. In the afternoon, we’ll ride dinghies through the mangroves of Elizabeth Bay, where sea turtles, penguins, rays, and blue-footed boobies abound.
At Urbina Bay, a dramatic uplifted shoreline from 1954, we’ll walk among giant tortoises and colorful land iguanas, with snorkeling opportunities to see turtles and rays. In the afternoon, we’ll visit Moreno Point, where black lava fields are dotted with lagoons and tidal pools that attract flamingos, pintails, and reef sharks.
Morning hike on Sierra Negra Volcano, one of the world’s largest volcanic craters, with sweeping views over recent lava flows. In the afternoon, we’ll visit the Arnaldo Tupiza Breeding Center in Puerto Villamil, dedicated to conserving the island’s giant tortoise species.
Snorkel at Devil’s Crown, a submerged volcanic crater and one of the best underwater sites in the Galápagos, full of tropical fish, reef sharks, and sea turtles. Then we’ll explore Cormorant Point, with its green olivine beach, white coral beach, and a flamingo lagoon. Later, at Post Office Bay, we’ll take part in a 200-year-old tradition of leaving postcards in a wooden barrel, just as whalers once did.
Our final morning brings us to Mosquera Islet, a small sandy island between Baltra and Seymour, home to one of the largest sea lion colonies and many shorebirds. Sometimes, orcas can be spotted here. After this last excursion, we’ll transfer to Baltra Airport for our flight back to Quito.
After breakfast, we’ll transfer to Quito airport for your international flight home, carrying unforgettable memories of this once-in-a-lifetime Galápagos adventure.
