What to do in Galapagos

One of the most coveted destinations in the world, a visit to the Galapagos can take place in a luxury cruiser, eco-hotel, or a combination of both. There are 13 islands in total, three of which have a selection of hotels so choose wisely! Activities centre around exploring and of course, spotting the 'Galapagos 15.' On the water, you'll find orcas, swimming iguanas, and penguins diving from the cliffs. Below the surface, snorkel in the crystalline waters or dive with sea lions, and on land, explore the endless hiking and cycling trails. Whichever mode of exploration you choose, the opportunities for adventure are quite simply, unparalleled.

Sailing & houseboats

Enjoy a watery & endlessly scenic journey
There’s an inescapable sense of peace that settles over you as you glide across serene waters, a gentle breeze blowing by and a drink in hand. Delightful… As for the setting, how about sailing down the Nile in an authentic felucca or drifting off the coast of Zanzibar in a traditional dhow? Maybe cruising across Lake Titicaca at sunset is more your cup of tea, or even idling through the Kerala Backwaters in a houseboat? All different, all equally as striking.

Beach

Set your compass for somewhere sun-kissed
After an epic safari, city exploration or cultural encounter, there’s nothing better than enjoying some downtime on a picturesque beach. And what’s more, it’s easier than ever to book this winning combination. After a gorilla trek in Rwanda, you could make a beeline for a private island in the Seychelles, or enjoy Cambodia’s sensational beaches following an illuminating visit to Angkor Wat, or take your pick of coastlines after ziplining through the forests of Costa Rica. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with heading straight for the sand and sea either.

Honeymoon

Make it one to remember
We know the score. Weddings are exciting, but they’re also incredibly stressful. So what better way to kick off married bliss than with a honeymoon to a stunning, far-flung location? It could be the romance of a private island getaway in the Indian Ocean, an action-packed safari on the plains of Africa or a see-it-all kind of trip through the delights of Sri Lanka. Whatever your tastes, we’ve got a way with crafting utterly unforgettable honeymoons.

Diving & snorkelling

There’s nothing quite like an aquatic adventure
The world beneath the waves is one of kaleidoscopic creatures gliding through the clear blue, curious fish darting between reefs, and blissful, beautiful silence. Whether you're floating gently with a snorkel or heading deeper with tanks strapped on, the oceans (and lakes!) of our planet have plenty of stories to tell. Think freshwater magic in Lake Malawi, technicolour reefs in Indonesia, or the volcanic underwater drama of the Galapagos. No experience necessary – just bring your sense of awe.

Wildlife

All creatures great and small
The thrill of catching a glimpse of a swishing tail or the flash of an eye, knowing you’re the first human they have seen in a while – or for the very first time - is a truly unforgettable moment. One moment, you’re scanning the horizon, and the next, an elephant ambles into view or a monkey swings overhead. It might be a whale breaching off the coast, or a pangolin scurrying across the sand, but whatever it is, it’s real, and it’s unforgettable. At Timbuktu, we’ll get you to the right place at the right time for the best wildlife encounters - you just need to have your binoculars at the ready.
