What’s New For 2025?

By Jack Hudson , 06 January, 2025

More trips will be on offer in 2025 than ever before!

Spaces are already selling fast for our selection of new trips for 2025. The only problem you've raised is there may be too many to choose from. So, to make life a little easier, we've laid out all our 2025 additions below in order of the first departure.

There's something fresh for all species of swimmers, including our most ambitious trip yet to become a true Galapagos Explorer, living aboard a catamaran and meeting the wildlife of 8 different islands in the Galapagos Marine Reserve and National Park.

Sadly, you can't swim them all in next year (or maybe you can?) - so choose wisely. The list may also get a little longer...
