Exploring the Galápagos by Expedition Cruise: An Experience of a Lifetime

My recent Galápagos expedition cruise with HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions) and Metropolitan Touring aboard the MS Santa Cruz II provided an up-close look at the Galápagos’ diverse wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and ongoing sustainable tourism and conservation efforts. From snorkeling with sea lions and sharks to observing giant tortoises, Darwin’s finches and blue-footed boobies in their natural habitat, every day offered incredible encounters. A Galápagos small ship expedition cruise offers the most immersive way to experience this UNESCO-listed wonder.
