Origin & Theory by Ecoventura offer a transformative experience by connecting discerning travelers with the inspiring wildlife of the Galapagos. Chic and stylish for just 20 guests, the intimate expedition yachts provide emotional, authentic adventures that emphasize the destination’s awe-inspiring features while minimizing our impact on the delicate ecosystem. As members of the esteemed Relais & Chateaux organization, the yachts maintain high standards for service, amenities, and gastronomy. Founded in 1991, the family-owned expedition cruise company has led adventurous travelers to one of the most extraordinary and untouched corners of the Earth. Pure in beauty and timeless allure, these volcanic islands have a rugged, unaltered magnetism that’s increasingly scarce, and are home to endemic species found nowhere else in the world. Inspired by the calming nature of the Islands, the minimalistic chic interiors boast ten modern staterooms with wide unobstructed ocean views of the ocean and luxurious amenities. Each meal is carefully prepared, with dinner a beautifully plated four-course menu with locally sourced Ecuadorian inspired cuisine. There is a crew of 13 including a concierge and two naturalist guides. Facilities include a library, boutique, sundeck for al fresco dining, fashioned with day beds, wet bar, Jacuzzi, fitness center, Wi-Fi and a generous open bar policy. Departures are every Sunday offering two exhilarating itineraries visiting the most remote islands of the archipelago. Go ashore in the company of a naturalist guide in small groups of no more than ten, explore on foot or by kayak, SUP or a glass-bottom boat, creating an in-depth learning environment.
