Bucket List Mode… Are You Coming?

Let’s explore the Galápagos as a group — a place I’ve dreamed of forever, where the wild is real, the connections are genuine, and every day feels unreal.

June 21 – 25, 2026
Catamaran Nemo II – South Itinerary

Hi, I’m Monicatravel creator, ocean lover, and someone who has always been fascinated by the wild corners of our planet. The Galápagos has been a dream destination of mine for as long as I can remember. It’s the place where evolution was studied, where wildlife still roams freely, and where nature exists in its purest, rawest form.

I can’t wait to sail around the Galápagos, swim in some of the clearest waters on Earth, and witness landscapes that feel completely untouched by time. Being in a place this wild is something I’ve always wanted to experience—and getting to do it with a group makes it even more special.

I can’t wait to explore together. This trip is bucket list even for me, especially with the option to add on the Amazon Rainforest afterwards—complete with a waterfall hike and a visit to an indigenous community. It’s the type of journey you remember forever, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

Here’s to going on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure together!
