Step aboard the National Geographic Islander II, with accommodations for just 48 guests, and see more islands, traveling from Santa Cruz south to Floreana, east to Española and San Cristóbal and north across the Equator to Genovesa. Make the expedition as active as you choose with options to snorkel, hike, kayak and paddleboard.
