Over 50+ years of exploring, Lindblad Expeditions’ veteran staff and the quality companionship they provide has established the company’s reputation. Every member of our team—from our naturalists and photographers to our expedition leaders—is committed to ensuring you have an unforgettable experience. Many of our veteran guides are Galapagueños; in addition to sharing their extensive knowledge of island species and habitats, they also offer an authentic connection to the region’s culture. With a ratio of one naturalist for every 10 to 12 guests, you will hear different perspectives every day, and because there are no set groups, you can gravitate toward naturalists who share your interests.
