Santa Cruz Island
Having families on board fills the environment with amazing good energy. It’s wonderful to get to see these islands through the eyes of young kids, eager for knowledge, anxious to absorb this new world. It is a privilege to walk the trails with people of different generations, families that have so much in common, but that for the first time are sharing a Galápagos experience. Grandfathers have been in the water with their grandsons, grandmothers go to the glass-bottom boat with their granddaughters, mothers have shared sightings of turtles with their teenagers, and fathers have walked through fields of Galápagos giant tortoises with their brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. Mostly everyone has seen a vermillion flycatcher by now, and a few lucky ones today saw it landing on the largest reptile of these islands.
Polaris is the home of us all, where we are pampered in the morning with delicious Ecuadorian breakfasts, where we take our siestas in teak deck hammocks while boobies fly overhead, where there are two dinners, the early dinner with fun staff, like tacos and hot dogs, and a more fancy dinner with decorated dishes. We are all now a big family, we have been united by the beauty and magic of Galápagos, and will always have that connection for the years to come.
