Hermes Mega Catamaran was specially designed to explore the Galapagos Islands and offer you a close encounter with nature, and our itineraries include at least two archipelago highlights per route. In this manner, you visit the most remote sites on the Enchanted Islands and observe species making these the best place for wildlife on Earth.
On land, two experienced naturalist guides escort small groups, up to 10 guests, during the excursions. You have a closer interaction with them, and they have time to give you a more in-depth explanation to your questions. You can find walking sticks in your suite in case you need them for this activity.
Hermes is also fully equipped to offer you memorable moments in the water. We have wetsuits and snorkeling equipment available in all sizes to jump in the water and play with the unique marine wildlife of the Galapagos. You also have kayaks and SUPs available for a different experience in one of the most pristine waters in the planet. Otherwise, you can observe marvelous sea turtles, playful sea lions, or any other marine specie from our glass bottom boat if you prefer to avoid the water.
Discovery & Learning
Hermes’ boarding platform is a comfortable space to sit and observe marine wildlife from the boat. The observation deck in the front part of the sun deck is the ideal spot to fall in love and take pictures of the stunning Galapagos landscapes or to look for birds flying over the boat. Of course, you can also stay in your suite and enjoy the wonderful view available from both, the balcony and the jacuzzi, in them.
Hermes’ library has the latest scientific books where you can contrast our guides’ information or solve any doubt that came to your mind during the hikes or in the water. It will be a quiet area to read and concentrate on this topic or on any book of your preference.
Our two social lounges are equipped with large flat screen TVs where you can learn more about the Galapagos Islands with the videos available for you. Our guides can recommend you the video that works best to solve your doubts about a topic.
