Enjoyed a snorkeling lesson this morning on a stunning Galápagos beach 🐠. Back onboard, an expert photography session helped us capture every moment. Lindblad Expeditions is taking excellent care as we acclimate. —Kareem George #Expedition #NationalGeographic #Galapagos

After two weeks at Six Senses Vana, we’re finally snorkel-ready! Enjoyed a practice session this morning before heading to Champion Island tomorrow for deep water snorkeling. Wish us luck and warm waters! #Snorkeling #NationalGeographic #LindbladExpeditions #Ecuador #Galapagos

A true Galápagos marvel: giant tortoises of Santa Cruz Island, symbols of endurance. At the Charles Darwin Research Station, Lindblad–National Geographic Fund researchers work tirelessly to protect them and their fragile ecosystem. —Frederick Morsches #LindbladExpeditions

Our afternoon hike on Española island was incredible: rugged, dramatic terrain, endless vistas, abundant wildlife and a nice challenge of endurance. A perfect introduction to the flora and fauna of the Galápagos! -Kareem George

Onboard the National Geographic Endeavour II, Culture Traveler CEO Kareem George shares first impressions—active days filled with hiking, snorkeling, scenic cruising, and expert-led talks. Love staying active and learning? The Galápagos belongs on your list.

Giant tortoise day in the Galápagos, even more mind-blowing than expected. Many over 100 years old. Wildlife, local artisans, and a visit to a hydroponic farm sourcing our ship’s greens made for a day full of awe. —Kareem George #Galapagos #NationalGeographic #Lindblad

An incredible way to start the day: hiking Cerro Dragón in the Galápagos. Greeted by blue-footed boobies, surrounded by land & sea iguanas, and even flamingos along the way. Awe at every turn. Snorkeling up next. #Galapagos #ExpeditionCruise #NationalGeographic #Lindblad

Food, glorious food! One question always comes up on expedition: How’s the food onboard? 🍽️ I share my thoughts from the National Geographic Endeavor II with Lindblad Expeditions – National Geographic Expeditions. Watch the video to hear the answer. #LindbladExpeditions

I have snorkeled more this week than in my entire life, sometimes twice a day! It has been a wonderful highlight to the trip and I have braved the “chilly” waters with much reward! -Kareem George #snorkeling #galapagos #ActiveTravel #lindbladexpeditions #nationalgeographic

First time snorkeling, challenging but unforgettable! 🤿 Two sessions a day with Lindblad Expeditions – National Geographic Expeditions means plenty of practice. Sea life everywhere, even tiny glowing jellyfish! Underwater photo tips welcome. #Galapagos #Snorkeling

Church & Monastery of San Francisco in Quito’s Plaza San Francisco, a colonial masterpiece blending European baroque with Andean artistry. Timeless architecture for the culturally curious. – Frederick Morsches #Quito #Ecuador #ColonialArchitecture #LuxuryTravel

In Quito’s Convent of San Francisco Museum, the 17th-century Virgen alada by Francisco de Torres, the only Virgin Mary depicted with gilded wings, blends Andean symbolism with Spanish Baroque, uniting indigenous and Catholic artistry. -Frederick Morsches

La Compañía de Jesús in Quito left me speechless. A baroque masterpiece gilded in gold and light, born of 160 years of Jesuit devotion, once hidden from the world and now fully restored. Architecture here becomes pure emotion. – Frederick Morsches #Quito #Ecuador
