        Northern Lights - Bears & Aurora Arctic Adventure

        CHECKING THE NORTHERN LIGHTS OFF YOUR BUCKET LIST

          Only visible from the Northern Hemisphere, Aurora Borealis occur in high latitudes over both poles and the phenomenon of Aurora Australis can also be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s well known that the Arctic, or as close as you can be to the North Pole, is the best place to see the Northern Lights but it is certainly not the only place. You can easily see them in southern parts of Canada, for example. 
          Spring and winter tend to be less cloudy, but really anytime from fall through to early spring (October-March) is a safe bet. Midnight is when the auroral oval is at its peak; however, the lights can appear a few hours after sunset and prior to sunrise.

            Hermes Galapagos Islands Ultra Luxury Catamaran

            GALAPAGOS CRUISE LUXURY CATAMARAN

              WELCOME TO HERMES MEGA CATAMARAN – Galapagos’ First Ultra-Luxury Cruise

              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.
