Brochure

Few destinations are more iconic than the Galápagos Islands, where Lindblad Expeditions brought the very first group of citizen explorers more than 50 years ago. Join OSU's Bob Cowen as you sail among the varied landscapes of this magical archipelago to encounter giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, playful penguins and charismatic sea lions, all unfazed by your presence. With multiple ways to explore on land and at sea, including hikes, photo walks, kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkeling, every day reveals new discoveries interpreted by a team of expert local guides.
