San Cristóbal Island, a historic gateway to the Galápagos, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and rich culture. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like ceviche de mero and visiting the stunning Las Tintoreras Islet. The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to November, when the weather is cooler and wildlife is particularly active.
Kicker Rock, or "Leon Dormido," in the Galápagos Islands is a stunning natural formation known for its unique geological features and vibrant marine life. A must-do experience includes snorkeling around the rock to witness the diverse underwater ecosystem. The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to December, when the weather is cooler and wildlife is abundant.
Genovesa is one of the northernmost islands of the archipelago. Genovesa’s southern side of the shield volcano’s crater collapsed and a protected bay known as Darwin Bay was formed. The island is often referred to as the “Bird Island” as the numbers and species of land and seabirds on Genovesa are quite extraordinary. There are two visitor sites, and Prince Philip’s Steps give access to the flat plateau above the bay. Named after Prince Philip who visited the Galapagos on two occasions, the “steps” are mostly natural. View less The steep cliffs are home to Red-billed Tropicbirds, while Magnificent Frigatebirds, Nazca and Red-footed Boobies prefer the top. The plateau above Prince Philip’s Steps has a palo santo forest and an extensive lava field. This is an area where one of the Galapagos’ top predators, the Short-eared Owl, is hunting storm petrels. The Short-eared Owls are extremely well camouflaged and are not always easy to spot in between the rocks.
Darwin is Australia's tropical Top End capital, where sixty-five thousand years of Indigenous heritage meets extraordinary multiculturalism, saltwater crocodiles, and gateway access to Kakadu's ancient rock art. Must-do experiences include the Mindil Beach Sunset Market, swimming beneath Litchfield's waterfalls, and viewing twenty-thousand-year-old Aboriginal paintings at Ubirr. May through October's Dry season offers clear skies and outdoor market culture.
North Seymour Island, a gem within the Galápagos archipelago, is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity and stunning volcanic landscapes. Must-do experiences include hiking the island’s interior to witness nesting frigatebirds and snorkeling in nearby crystal-clear waters. The best season to visit is from June to December, when the weather is cooler and wildlife activity is at its peak.
Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island is a pristine volcanic landscape in the Galápagos archipelago, where nineteenth-century pahoehoe lava flows create an otherworldly terrain of rope basalt, hornitos, and pioneer cacti framed by brilliant Sally Lightfoot crabs. The essential experience is a guided geological walk across the lava fields, complemented by Zodiac wildlife encounters along the shoreline. The Galápagos enjoys relatively stable weather year-round, though the warm season from January to May brings calmer seas and better snorkelling visibility, while the cooler garúa season from June to December offers more dynamic wildlife activity and nutrient-rich waters.
Among the impressive new lava fields of Fernandina Island hides a cove surrounded by mangroves. A rewarding place for bird-watching as the bay is the point where the land meets the sea, joining the two environments, with sea birds, shorebirds and land birds all in the same place. The different species of mangroves: Red, White and Black, have formed a root system that serves as a nursery for many species of fish, including juveniles’ sharks and green sea turtles. View less Snorkeling is as rewarding with some unique sightings as Marine Iguanas feeding on algae, or flightless cormorants diving for their prey.
Punta Moreno is a remote volcanic landing site on the western coast of Isabela Island in the Galápagos, where stark pahoehoe lava fields meet brackish lagoons teeming with flamingos, pintail ducks, and marine iguanas. The essential experience is walking across the otherworldly basalt terrain with an expert naturalist, observing pioneer species that have colonised the fissures of relatively recent lava flows. Accessible year-round, the warm-dry season from June to November offers the best conditions for wildlife activity and calmer seas for Zodiac landings.
The Santa Cruz Highlands are the lush, misty interior of the Galápagos' most populated island, where wild giant tortoises roam freely through grasslands and scalesia forest above the arid coast. Must-dos include encountering giant tortoises at Rancho El Chato, visiting the Charles Darwin Research Station, and exploring volcanic lava tunnels. Visit June to December for the greenest landscapes and most active tortoises.
Silver Origin will anchor in front of Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, where the prestigious Charles Darwin Research Station is located. The station also houses the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center for giant tortoises and land iguanas where guides interpret the centre’s captive breeding and reintroduction programs. In addition to these star species, throughout the station there are huge prickly pear cactus trees being fed upon by the pretty Galapagos Cactus Finch. To round out the stay in Puerto Ayora, enjoy free time in town where local artists have created charming art galleries and corner cafés.
Gardner Bay on Española Island is one of the Galápagos' most spectacular wildlife beaches, where sea lions, marine iguanas, and Hood mockingbirds interact with visitors on pristine white sand. Essential experiences include snorkelling with playful sea lion pups and visiting the waved albatross colony at Punta Suárez. January through May offers warm water snorkelling; April through December brings the albatross breeding season.
Punta Suárez lies at the western point of Española, the oldest island in the Galápagos. Sheer cliffs provide superb thermals for seabirds and you may spot Swallow-tailed Gulls, Nazca Boobies and Blue-footed Boobies on the breeze. The largest seabird to nest in the Galapagos Islands is the Waved Albatross. These ocean wanderers can be seen seasonally here from April through December, when pairs reunite on Española, going through an elaborate pair-bonding display. View less Mockingbirds, doves, and occasional Galápagos Hawks can also be seen on the point, along with sea lions and colorful marine iguanas.
Laem Chabang, Thailand's principal deep-water port in Chonburi province, serves as the maritime gateway to Bangkok and the cultural riches of central Thailand, with the charming town of Si Racha offering outstanding seafood and authentic Thai market culture just minutes away. Visitors should not miss an overland excursion to Bangkok's Grand Palace and an evening exploring Si Racha's waterfront night markets. The optimal season is November through February, when cool, dry northeast monsoon winds bring comfortable temperatures and calm seas to the Gulf of Thailand.
