About This Trip
WINGS Birding Tours' annual Galapagos cruise, led by expert leader Rich Hoyer, explores the archipelago aboard the Nemo III catamaran visiting the southern, central, and western islands. Española's Punta Suárez delivers the unforgettable spectacle of thousands of Waved Albatrosses courting and nesting, while Fernandina's Punta Espinoza holds the world's largest Flightless Cormorant colony alongside Galapagos Penguins and Marine Iguanas. Open-water crossings and panga rides along volcanic cliffs provide encounters with Galapagos Petrel, Galapagos Shearwater, Red-billed Tropicbird, Nazca and Red-footed Boobies, and all three frigatebird species.
