About Treasure of Galapagos

Take to the azure waters of the Galapagos for the cruise of a lifetime.
Discover the superlative sights of the Galapagos Islands, the world's 'laboratory of evolution' on board this luxury catamaran. You'll sail from one fascinating shore to another, dolphins gliding beside you and scarlet frigatebirds soaring overhead, each day bringing renewed amazement as the naturalist guides share their encyclopaedic knowledge of the islands' wildlife. Do a little discovery of your own with treks through the forest, volcanic excursions and otherworldly snorkelling. The 102-foot-long vessel is adept at navigating these waters and its size makes it possible to drop anchor in hidden, shallow bays.

Property details

The property

The dual-hull catamaran is built to offer a smooth, steady journey where you'll spend every possible moment taking in the beautiful surrounds. And that includes whilst you soak in the Jacuzzi! The Treasure features a number of open-air and indoor lounges, including a library where you'll find all sorts of trivia on the Galapagos. The dining room is casual with striped banquettes and panoramic windows. Grab a cocktail from the bar and head over to the observation deck for a spot of whale watching.

The rooms

The catamaran offers nine cabins with an average size of 18 square metres, which make a rather comfortable home-away-from-home. With panelled wooden floors and ceilings, the cabins enjoy wide glass doors leading onto a private patio where you'll savour the view. The double or twin beds are dressed in white linens, while the Master Suite also features a separate living area with two sofa beds, and dual balconies. The bathrooms are spacious with double basins, expansive mirrors and a shower.

Activities

Having long held a mythical status, the Galapagos Islands are a feast for the senses and a true nature-lovers dream. After anchoring overnight, you'll set out for a nearby island to spot endemic birdlife (including members of the 'Galapagos 15'), traverse volcanic terrain, trek in the highlands to find giant tortoises, and watch as sea lions frolic and doze on the beaches. Dip below the surface for a snorkelling adventure, where you'll spy manta rays, Galapagos sharks and iridescent tropical fish.
