ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ISLANDER & NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDEAVOUR|2015/2016 TMTM 1 Dear Traveler,

Can an iguana ever be considered cute? Somehow, the one on the cover certainly is. It’s always remarkable to me how powerful and enjoyable it is to be close to animals where there is no fear or discomfort for either us or them.

And there really is nowhere on Earth where this intimacy is so GALÁPAGOS: % OF GUESTS WHO ARE PART OF consistently available as Galápagos. I just love this place, as do A FAMILY WITH MINIMUM ONE CHILD my children, and pretty much everyone who has ever had the good JANUARY 9% fortune to spend time here. FEBRUARY 18% MARCH 47% And, as I’ve always said, if you do elect to explore Galápagos, it is APRIL 38% a good idea to do so with us. Experience matters, as does love of MAY 16% place. And a team of passionate, committed and capable people JUNE 64% in the form of our crew and naturalists matters very much, as well. JULY 73% AUGUST 53% We’ve been at this ever since my father brought the first organized SEPTEMBER 11% group of people here in 1967. And we’ve brought countless OCTOBER 6% thousands ever since. I can confidently assure you that you will NOVEMBER 13% have the meaningful Galápagos experience you seek with us. DECEMBER 44%

On behalf of our expedition team, I look forward to welcoming you to these enchanted islands very soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Sven-Olof Lindblad

P.S. We’ve included this chart to help you decide when to go. Galápagos is delightful at any time of year, however it helps you choose dates relative to periods when families tend to be more or less prominent.

1 “ Although on the equator, Galápagos experiences sub-tropical, even temperate conditions much of the year, due to cool water currents flowing through the islands. Taller islands that intercept the inversion layer have cool, wet highlands, with a misty drizzle called garúa, from June to November. The lower islands receive virtually no moisture and have dry, desert-like conditions. Around December, the islands are influenced by warm tropical waters from the north. From January to April, conditions are more tropical. The usually dry lowlands burst into leaf.” -EMMA RIDLEY, EXPEDITION LEADER, ON GALÁPAGOS’ CLIMATE IT’S DIFFERENT IN GALAPAGOS Galápagos is unique in every respect, including this one: it is the only destination that comes with a virtual guarantee. Because the animal population is consistent there is no “best time” to visit—it’s always in season. And the encounters with wild animals that happen here don’t happen anywhere else on earth, because there is simply no fear. This is a marvelous thing to experience, and the magic happens whether you’re 8 or 80. Each island is different and diversely fascinating. Explore landscapes, from lunar to lush, with our dedicated expedition team. And marvel as they reveal each island’s different highlights for you, to make your expedition more engaging and more meaningful than any other form of travel.

“ I have snorkeled throughout the Caribbean and Hawaii with their colorful fish. This is a much different experience. Day one we snorkeled up close and personal with sea lions and the flightless cormorant. Day two with sea turtles and penguins. Day three with schools of fish and stingrays. Day four with marine iguanas. Day five with sharks!!!” —JODI FOX, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDEAVOUR GUEST, 2013

4 5 THE GALAPAGOS UNDERSEA IS DIFFERENT

Snorkel throughout your expedition. Or, if certified, arrange for special scuba diving opportunities.

Prefer to relax in the lounge and see Galápagos’ wonderful marine life? Easy— our ships are the only ones in Galápagos with an onboard undersea specialist who dives with a video camera, so you can stay dry and see it all.

Venture even deeper—National Geographic Endeavour has an onboard ROV, capable of depths up to 1000 feet. It lets our guests see parts of the Galápagos Marine Reserve that few scientists or researchers have ever explored. The ROV shoots film that is shared with guests aboard both our ships. Additionally, data we collect supports scientific research projects jointly managed by the Charles Darwin Research Station and Galápagos National Park. We’re thrilled to be able to contribute to the scientific understanding of this unique part of the world.

WWW.EXPEDITIONS.COM 9 AN EXPEDITION TEAM THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE All guides working in Galápagos must be Galápagos residents, and the naturalists on our staff are no exception. The difference, however, is that they are each exceptional, hand-picked for their knowledge and Lindblad Expeditions-trained to genuinely enhance your experience. And clearly they do: we’ve received thousands of comment cards over the course of 40+ years in the expedition business consistently expressing the same sentiment: “Outstanding expedition staff.”

The healthy diversity of specialties—marine biology, evolutionary biology, ornithology, and more—and personalities on our team means you can gravitate to the naturalists whose interests and personalities most appeal to you on any given day for any given activity. You are never directed into groups or assigned. And our generous staff-to-guest ratio (1 to 12 on both the yacht- scaled National Geographic Islander and on the larger National Geographic Endeavour) means you have plenty of choices every day.
