Galápagos Islands

Two Departures: June 7-17, 2027 & June 14-24, 2027
Join Penn Professor Michael Weisberg and fellow Penn alumni on the wildlife adventure of a lifetime. Begin your trip in the coastal city of Guayaquil and enjoy a city tour or birding expedition. Then, fly to the Galápagos Islands and board the 10-cabin MV Grand Daphne, chartered exclusively for Penn alumni and friends. Spend the next 7 nights exploring the biological importance of the Galápagos Islands and experience up-close encounters with local wildlife including the Galápagos giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, and much much more.

Each departure visits a different set of islands. For guests who would like to experience both itineraries and everything the Galápagos has to offer, special pricing is available for back-to-back weeks. For more details, please contact [email protected].
