While exploring, certified naturalists will guide you through remarkable interactions such as watching marine iguanas expertly dive into the ocean to feed. Once they surface, they blow saltwater from their noses, a behavior unique to these reptiles. With a ratio of one naturalist for every 12 guests, you will receive personalized attention and fascinating insights, making the experience even more enriching. Moreover, guests aged 10 and older can share in this journey, creating lasting memories together.

Snorkeling Adventures and Shore Excursions

One standout feature of the Galapagos experience is snorkeling alongside playful sea lions. Picture yourself floating in pristine waters, surrounded by these curious animals darting playfully around you. With Celebrity Flora providing wetsuits and snorkeling gear as part of your package, you are set to explore this underwater wonderland effortlessly.

Every day aboard, you can partake in two exciting shore excursions. These trips allow you to explore various islands and their distinct ecosystems.

Each excursion is a chance to connect with nature in unforgettable ways.
