Galapagos: Unrivaled Beauty and Captivating Wildlife
May 8-17, 2009
The Galapagos Islands are a favorite destination for those who love wildlife and the natural world. And for all the documentaries we have seen on these bewitching isles, nothings prepares you for the thrill of standing (and swimming) nose to nose with sea lions, penguins, sea turtles and  more! Join the Detroit Zoo in the Galapagos as one of just 32 guests aboard the M/V Evolution. We’ll enjoy access to unique sites and Genovesa (Tower) Island that larger ships are excluded from visiting, and revel in the unrivaled beauty and captivating wildlife found only in Galapagos.
