Galápagos Cruises to Daphne Major

About Daphne Major

A tuff cone standing alone in the channel north of Santa Cruz, a crater floor where Peter and Rosemary Grant measured finch beaks every year from 1973 onwards, and the clearest evidence of evolution ever recorded in the wild: Daphne Major is about a hundred and twenty metres high and carries no fresh water. The Grants watched natural selection change a population within a single drought. 1 of our itineraries reaches Daphne Major, from US$6,632 per person, on a trip of 7 nights.

Landing on Daphne Major is restricted to researchers, so the call is a circumnavigation from the boat. The island is on a single circuit in the whole fleet, and 36 upcoming departures carry it. If you want to set foot on the island, no itinerary offers that.
