Our Team in Galápagos

Every member of our team—from our naturalists and photographers to our expedition leaders—is committed to ensuring you have an unforgettable experience. All of our veteran guides in Galápagos are Galápagueños or from mainland Ecuador so in addition to sharing their extensive knowledge of island species and habitats, they also offer an authentic, first-person connection to the region’s culture and history. Exploring in small groups, you’ll hear different perspectives each day of your voyage, and because there are no assigned groups you can gravitate toward the naturalists who share your interests and inspire your curiosity.

Our knowledgeable and passionate expedition team at Galápagos Expeditions by Lindblad is complemented by our dedicated hotel team who strives to ensure that your time on board is as comfortable and rewarding as your time on shore.
