The Islands Lost in Time!
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
December 12-21, 2008 With Optional Peru pre-trip December 3-13, 2008

Since the inception of our travel program, we’ve witnessed the tonic effect of wildness on the human spirit. When you travel to the world’s unspoiled places, you find that it refreshes the senses and clears the mind. It restores balance and revitalizes your soul.

Journey with us from December 12-21, 2008, to the Galápagos Islands, located about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, and find this tonic for yourself. Plus, join us now and take advantage of $500 per person air credit. The archipelago is one of the world’s great remaining natural areas, full of wonder, beauty and unusual wildlife. You will have the unique opportunity for extraordinarily close encounters with sea lions, penguins, tortoises, fur seals and many kinds of seabirds. And with 97% of the Galápagos Islands protected as national park land, this amazing place is also one of the world’s most important laboratories for the future of conservation, sustainable tourism, and wildlife management. The information we learn here forms the foundation for valuable lessons back home.

Travel aboard Lindblad Expeditions’ intimate 80-guest National Geographic Polaris. Join us on this extremely comfortable expedition ship noted for excellent personal service.

She also has a glass-bottom boat, kayaks, wet suits, snorkeling gear and underwater video equipment, making the vibrant undersea world accessible to all.
