M/Y Natural Paradise (Luxury)

A new luxury yacht, the Natural Paradise is perfect for travelers with discerning tastes. This intimate, customized vessel transports 16 passengers through the enchanted Galapagos Islands on eight-, five-, and four-day excursions.

To help you explore the archipelago’s underwater world, snorkeling gear, wet suit and underwater camera are available for your use. After a day of exploring the Galapagos’ unique environment, relax with a cocktail from the bar in the main deck sitting area, or up on the spacious sundeck which has chaise lounges and a Jacuzzi, as well as an al fresco dining area. If you have one of the four upper deck double cabins, you will enjoy a private balcony from where to watch the moonlight slither across the waves. Other double cabins are on the main and lower decks, while a well appointed suite is on the main deck.

All accommodations have comfortable beds, safety deposit boxes, air-conditioning, private bathrooms with hot water, and plenty of space for your belongings. Natural Paradise’s 10 crew members are attentive to their guests’ needs. An official, bilingual naturalist guide will lead you on your exploration.
