The latest addition to the G Adventures fleet— Eden — equipped with amenities that have your comfort and exploratory spirit in mind.

Being nimble always comes in handy. The Eden is compact so you can access areas the big ships can’t, but spacious enough to kick-back and enjoy your surroundings. Climb aboard to find room for 16 passengers, an expert CEO Naturalist Guide, and two top-deck lounge areas — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the Galápagos.

Feel the wind in your hair and smell the salt in the air as you take to the sea, far away from the tourist track, to explore seldom visited islands and commune with remarkable wildlife. While all of our marine adventures are unique, they share the same spirit of exploration. The spirit that propelled legendary explorers like Marco Polo and Ernest Shackleton to keep searching for their personal paradise. Whether you are looking to frolic with sea lions in the Galapagos, sail a private yacht in Greece or commune with thousands of Gentoo Penguins in Antarctica, we can take you there.

At G Adventures, we encourage you to step off the beaten path, embrace the unexpected and immerse yourself in the extraordinary. Our award-winning trips embrace authentic accommodation and local transportation to bring you face to face with the world’s most fascinating cultures, customs and awe-inspiring wildlife.
