Creator's Key Takeaways

We're traveling with HX on the Santa Cruz 2 and there's only 32 guests aboard this week.

The most important requirement for an expedition cruise is a curiosity about the area you intend to visit.

If you can walk up two flights of stairs without stopping, and you're able to get in and out of a bathtub unassisted, then you'll be fine.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring light synthetic clothing with UV protection and sunscreen due to intense sun.
Do not need dress clothes, fancy camera gear, visas, malaria medications, or immunizations for Galapagos.
Visit a travel clinic before going for up-to-date health advice.
