Hermes Mega Catamaran is the first Ultra-Luxury Cruise to sail in the Galapagos Islands. With a guest capacity capped at 20 guests, Hermes provides an unrivalled experience through exclusivity, high-end amenities and a crew to guest ratio of almost 1 to 1.

All of our Suites feature their own private balcony and private jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. Enjoy from our premium beverage menu complimentary during your stay. Relax after a day of discovery on the islands with the pampering of our butler service or from purification in our Hammam with views to stunning Galapagos’ landscapes.

Expedition 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 marvellous sea turtles, playful sea lions, or any other marine species from our glass bottom boat if you prefer to avoid the water.

Meridian Diving Adventure - Raja Ampat, Indonesia

RAJA AMPAT DIVING ADVENTURE

For all scuba divers, it is the number one bucket list dive resort holiday. Raja Ampat, Indonesia is located in the heart of the coral triangle. Known as the epicentre of marine biodiversity and host to over 80% of all the world’s coral species. No Seasons – Good diving all year around. The variety of dive sites ensure there is something for everyone, from macro photographers to Manta Ray lovers, and from beginners to experienced divers.

Located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the Indonesian Seas are the place of immense water exchange. The water exchange is known as the Indonesian Throughflow and flows from the Pacific through to the lower Indian Ocean. This flow delivers eggs and larvae to the reefs of Indonesia and travels over the complex underwater topography creating great upwellings of nutrient-rich cold water. A veritable life source, and after a holiday in these waters you will go home with a renewed sense of life yourself.

Trust us, no two dives are ever the same in Raja Ampat. Click HERE for a glimpse into Raja Ampat.

Nambia - Desert + Wildlife Self-Drive Adventure

NAMIBIA DESERT + WILDLIFE SELF-DRIVE

A 15-day self-drive adventure across the jaw-dropping scenery of Namibia. A land of contrast and uncompromising beauty, Namibia is regarded as one of the best destinations in Africa with the highest amount of conservancies in the world – superb landscapes, excellent game viewing, and a safe country to travel around ensure it remains at the top of everyone’s “must visit” destinations.

Let’s not forget that it is the ONLY country in the world with increasing free-roaming lion and black rhino populations. Namibia is the first country in the world to incorporate the protection of the environment into its constitution. Around 15% of Namibia’s land is protected including virtually the entire Namib Desert coastal strip. Namibia possesses some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa, and a safari through the country is one of the great road adventures. Etosha National Park is the icing on the cake of this Namibia Safari. Namibia is not only a wildlife destination, it is blessed with some of the world’s finest landscapes and wide open spaces. It’s like a coffee-table book comes to life as sand dunes in the world’s oldest desert meet the crashing rollers along the wild Atlantic coast. Among all this is a German legacy evident in the cuisine and art nouveau architecture.

Namibia is also the headquarters of adventure activities in the region, so whether you’re a dreamer or love hearing the crunch of earth under your boots, travel in Namibia will stay with you long after the desert vistas fade.

Every itinerary on the luxury small ship, Aqua Mekong, is designed to offer an enjoyable and deeply insightful experience of the stunning Mekong region.

Culture and civilizations have flourished around great rivers throughout history, and the Mekong is no exception.
