Dear AAAS and Sigma Xi Members and Friends,

Since the inception of our travel program, we’ve witnessed the tonic effect of wildness on the human spirit. When you travel

to the world’s unspoiled places, you find that it refreshes the senses and clears the mind. It restores balance and revitalizes

your soul.

Journey with us from July 21-30, 2007 to the Galápagos Islands, located about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, and find

this tonic for yourself. The archipelago is one of the world’s great remaining natural areas, full of wonder, beauty and unusual

wildlife. You will have the unique opportunity for extraordinarily close encounters with sea lions, penguins, tortoises, fur seals

and many kinds of seabirds.

Travel aboard Lindblad Expeditions’ intimate 48-guest Islander. Join us on this extremely comfortable expedition ship noted

for excellent personal service. The Islander carries a fleet of sturdy Zodiac landing craft, which provides access to virtually any-

where. She also has kayaks, wet suits, snorkeling gear and underwater video equipment, making the vibrant undersea world ac-

cessible to all.

You will be accompanied by a dedicated and enthusiastic staff of naturalists, many of whom have lived, worked and traveled

extensively in the region. Traveling with only a small group of inquisitive travelers and a fine staff of naturalists, you will enjoy a

unique and exciting adventure.

We invite you to join our optional Peru Extension, July 29-August 8, 2007, led by Peru expert Dr. Douglas Sharon, retired

Director of the Hearst Museum of Anthropology at UC-Berkeley. Please see a copy of the Peru itinerary, on page 11 in this brochure.

To make your reservation for Galápagos and the Peru extension, please return the enclosed reservation form or call Carol

800-252-4910 or email Carol@betchartexpeditions.com. We hope you will join us on this remarkable adventure.

The sheer amount of wildlife here is astounding. Tortoises — including legendary

Lonesome George, the last of his species on earth. Blue-footed boobies. The

famous finches. Beachmasters, harems and doe-eyed sea lion pups that swim

with you. Skies filled with wheeling, courting, red-throated frigatebirds. Lava rocks

piled high with motionless marine iguanas. A mind-boggling plethora of creatures,

untainted by fear, living in a paradise of azure waters, white beaches and cool mangrove

stands. Animal life varies from island to island, and with an experienced staff of Natural-

ists, you encounter wildlife that is so plentiful you may have to watch your footing to

avoid disturbing the nap of a resting sea lion or a passing iguana. It is simply a privilege

to see these creatures in this place, manifesting these precise behaviors. This natural

abundance makes the Galápagos one of the most impressive places on earth.

close encounters of the wild kind

“The kayak gave me the opportunity to see all types of wild-

life, both in the water and on shore, including penguins,

sea lions and sea turtles. Many of the animals came right

up to the kayak! It was both peaceful and thrilling at the same time.

Perhaps the best part was that our Expedition Leader, Lynn allowed

us to explore at our own pace, yet always remained vigilant about our

safety. And, with the excellent instruction we received, even novices like

me were able to enjoy the experience. Who would have ever thought this

city dweller would love sea kayaking? I can’t wait to come back!”

— Guest sami Kahn, science teacher and Wilson Parkhill Fellowship Awardee, collegiate school, ny

“One of the highlights of my Galápagos trip was kayaking.”

exploring the sea above and below snorkeling with sea lions & sea turtles is a major part of our expedition

While the shadow of Darwin obviously

lies over our Galápagos expeditions,

our company pays daily homage to one

of our heroes: the extraordinary Jacques Cous-

teau. Thanks to his example, we use nimble Zodi-

acs to make landfalls in the world’s most adven-

turous locations — and offer an undersea program

that keeps the element of “discovery” alive no

matter how “mapped” the world of today is. And

in Galápagos, seeing the undersea is so gratify-

ing that we send our diver-naturalists down with

a video camera to make sure those disinclined to

“plunge” can still see the world below our ship.

For those who snorkel, Galápagos offers pure

magic. And we make it easy for virtually everyone

to experience snorkeling. A recent guest confided

why he hadn’t been snorkeling in over ten years:

On a vacation in Fiji, a young guide took a group

of snorkelers out, left them in 40-foot waters

and said, “I’ll be back in half an hour.” Our guest

explained he felt anxious, and was unable to relax

and enjoy. He was reluctant to even consider snor-

keling again — until he was in Galápagos with us,

and saw the quality of our logistics and care. He

knew that if he felt at all uncomfortable, a waiting

Zodiac would enable him to come out, rest, and go

back into the water when he felt like it. No fear.

No pressure. Just the pure unmitigated pleasure

of being there — snorkeling amid the shimmer-

ing fish, the sea turtles and those “gymnasts,” the

playful sea lions.

Galápagos’ waters are rich with diversity. Whether swimming with sea turtles or unobtrusively observing Galápagos wildlife from one of

our kayaks or Zodiacs, our expedition team has developed safe, effective methods for everyone to enjoy up close contact with nature.

you’ll travel with the most inspired expedition team working in Galápagos

representing the entire Galápagos team are: naturalist carlos romero at left;

expedition leaders lucho Verdesosto, lynn Fowler and emma ridley above.

G alápagos is carefully and protectively administered by the

National Park Service. According to its ordinances, no one

can visit or even land on a beach, unless accompanied by a

nationally licensed Naturalist. Consequently travel operators are

obliged to provide the services of one Naturalist for every 16 guests.

We have always believed — since Lars-Eric Lindblad brought the first

non-scientific expedition to Galápagos in 1967 — that knowledgeable

and interesting experts are essential to the quality of a travel expe-

rience. We offer our guests the expertise and companionship of top

Naturalists on every expedition. And in Galápagos we provide an ex-

pedition team consisting of three Naturalists and an experienced Expedition

Leader (EL) — more and better than any other company operating in the

archipelago. The number of experts on our staff means that you’ll have the

benefit of daily variety and a panoply of specialized knowledge and interests

— marine biology, zoology, botany and geology — to enhance your experience

and provide a context for all that you’ll see. Each team also includes people

who are specially trained in sharing their knowledge with young people of all

ages.You’ll learn even more in the entertaining forum of our daily recaps dur-

ing cocktail hour. And you’ll form rewarding relationships with your favorites

among our bright, enthusiastic and thoroughly engaging team.

�

Galápagos is a great experience to share with friends and fam-

ily. In addition to being fascinating and educational, Galápagos’

fun side brings out the kid in everyone. You’ll see that there’s

not a lot of difference here between how a senior citizen and a kid reacts

to the simple joys of daily contact with a huge number of highly enter-

taining creatures. Grown-ups find themselves having more in common

with their kids or grandkids — from toddlers to teens — than they ever

imagined. In addition to the experiences you’ll share with your kids, there’ll be

the moments they’ll share with others — like our Naturalists, for example. It’s

a pleasure to watch shy kids blossom in the company of these natural mentors;

see confident kids expand their range. And our own videographer will be on

board to capture the shared memories created on your expedition. This will be

available to you and your loved ones at journey’s end. Oh, and kids and young

adults (under 18) get a reduction of $500.

exploring with friends & familykids get more than you can imagine and travel for less.

Hey Kids, I’m Little Lin and I’m here to help make your expedition a blast! Did you know that on every depar-ture, Lindblad has kid-friendly staff that is trained to handle our interests? When you get onboard, let the Expedition Leader know that I sent you and they will take us on all sorts of special hikes and plan certain activities, just for us. Take it from me, Little Lin, you’re in for an awesome adventure when you visit Galápagos with your family.

Galápagos: Aboard Islander> ITINERARY – 10 DAYS/� NIGHTS

This remarkable journey brings you face to face with the

extraordinary natural wonders of this wildlife sanctuary.

With an experienced staff of Naturalists, you encounter

wildlife that does not fear people and is so abundant that

you may have to watch your footing to avoid disturbing the

nap of a resting sea lion or a passing iguana. Animal life

varies from island to island, but likely encounters include:

penguins fishing off the rocky lava shores, blue-footed

boobies performing a courtship “dance” ritual, or a male

frigate bird ballooning his crimson chest pouch to attract

a female. You can snorkel with playful sea lions, kayak

and swim in the amazing Pacific, or find a quiet corner of a

deserted beach.

Saturday, Day 1: U.S./Guayaquil, Ecuador

Depart U.S. and arrive Guayaquil by late evening. We’ve

found that Miami is a convenient gateway for most, but

other air alternatives are available. If you choose to take

the non-stop group flight from Miami, we depart in the

early evening with a flying time of approximately 4 hours.

Upon arrival in Guayaquil, it’s a short drive to the Hotel

Hilton Colón.

Sunday, Day 2: Guayaquil/Galápagos/

Santa Cruz/Embark Ship

This morning fly to the Galápagos. Flying

time is approximately 1½ hours; upon ar-

rival immediately board the Islander. Dur-

ing lunch we’ll sail to Santa Cruz Island

for a magnificent introduction to the wild-

life of Galápagos. Spend the afternoon

exploring mangrove-flanked channels and the shoreline of

Cerro Dragon, looking for land iguanas, sea lions, a variety

of birds and schools of golden rays. (B,L,D)

Days 3 – �: While our exact routing depends on the

Galápagos National Park Service, we may visit the follow-

ing islands: (B,L,D)

Bartolomé: This is an enchanting landscape where lava,

mangroves and golden sand converge. Great walks,

views and a chance to snorkel with penguins.

Santiago: Santiago provides us a chance to see the

Galápagos fur seal, along with the opportunity to enjoy

the best “tide pooling.”

Santa Cruz: The epicenter of Galápagos administration.

We’ll head up into the highlands to roam the moss-draped

lush landscape where wild giant tortoises often forage.

Isabela: Anchor off port of Puerto Villamil. Walk the streets

of this small town, visit the nearby saltwater lagoons,

home to flamingos or simply stroll along a beautiful beach.

Visit the tortoise breeding center which is jointly admin-

istered by the Galápagos National Park and the Charles

Darwin Research Station. We’ll explore Isabela’s caves

and shoreline, searching the waters for

dolphins, whales, sea turtles and the

elusive ocean sunfish — the mola-mola.

Fernandina: We’ll investigate Punta

Espinoza on Fernandina Island — the

youngest island in Galápagos. It’s

marine iguana heaven, with Isabela’s

volcanoes as a dramatic backdrop.

Floreana: Champion Islet, just off the eastern shore of

Floreana, is a fabulous snorkel site and home to a large

colony of sea lions. We may also find flamingos, pintail

ducks and various shorebirds. Hike to a lovely white sand

beach, a favorite nesting site for sea turtles.

Española: We will visit two distinctly different parts of the

same island. See blue-footed boobies, sea lions galore,

Española marine iguanas which develop particularly vivid

coloration, and waved albatross (mid-April through mid-

December) exclusive to this island. Snorkel and stroll the

island’s lovely beaches.

Whether you choose a treatment as a midday pick-me-up, or finish off the day with a

relaxing movement session, our staff will provide guidance and expertise that helps

you experience wellness and wonder at your own pace.

LEX Wellness and the Tonic of Wildness

conservation tortoises galore: in the wild and at the Charles Darwin Research Station

The fact that we can walk through a lush green highlands’ meadow

observing wild tortoises is due in part to the Charles Darwin

Research Station’s captive breeding and release programs. To

directly support the conservation and protection of the Galápagos National

Park and Marine Reserve, Lindblad Expeditions initiated the Galápagos

Conservation Fund (GCF) in 1997. In the years since, the GCF has raised

over $3.5 million to promote the well being of the archipelago and sup-

port essential conservation work, including eradication of major threats to

tortoises and other endemic species. In addition to our active and ongoing

commitment to Galápagos, we connect to an ever-growing global network

of conservation support through organizations like the World Wildlife

Fund, ensuring our continued commitment as leaders in environmental

stewardship in the privileged places we visit.
