A total of 15 travellers from the UK, Cyprus, Germany, the US, Canada, and the Channel Islands – a healthy mix of fund managers, private investors, and entrepreneurs. Some brought their family members along.

Spending a week with likeminded people instead of random tourists yet again paid off: some participants liked the concept so much that they already booked themselves onto the 2026 trip.

The archipelago is too big to see everything on a single trip, but we squeezed as much into our week as possible!
Over 7 days, we experienced the best that Galapagos has to offer, sailing onboard a 4 star boat (following the "appropriate luxury" concept) across the islands' Western half.

With equipment for snorkelling, kayaking and other activities onboard, there was no shortage of things to do.

We got to mingle with some unique animals entirely unafraid of humans: Galapagos penguins, giant tortoises, sea lions... And even swam with an entire swarm of "Mola Mola"!

12 hours of each day were spent in the company of a guide. Having the right guide is the make-or-break factor for any Galapagos trip. For this trip, I handpicked the islands' #1 guide (out of 800 Galapagos naturalist guides) – participants subsequently agreed that this made the trip even more special.
