1. Rejuvenation: Play

No signs, no rules and no set timings, laid-back island life fits to you >
2. Rejuvenation: Swim
You can have your own personal Blue Planet too. Stay at this very special ecotourism marine protected area and spend your days snorkelling and swimming, whose benefits cannot be understated.
For your body you’ll build strength, tone, definition, flexibility and bone mass;
for your mental health it can reduce stress and depression and even make you smarter;
and for your soul, the sea can bring you in touch with your senses and be a spiritual experience – relax with the peace of weightlessness, and revive amongst the transcendent nature of incredible marine life >
3. Rejuvenation: Sail
We can’t think of many more invigorating experiences than sailing across the ocean embracing the elements and the power of Mother Nature in the seas, wind and marine life.
Whether you’re a novice or experienced sailor, join the team of one of these conservation expeditions and your direct contact with the ocean can help you connect choices with restoration and rejuvenation, to better understand and hands-on experience how our day to day behaviour impacts the world in which we live half a blue planet away >
4. Rejuvenation: Spend time with nature
There are few places on Earth where the animal kingdom rules more than the Galapagos Islands, where people and wildlife co-exist in peace. Follow in the footsteps of Darwin and his theory of natural selection, and let yourself be nurtured by nature.
Giant tortoises, iguana, Blue Footed Boobies, finches, frigate birds, sea lions, manta rays, sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and whales are just some of the species you’ll encounter on this once-in-a-lifetime out-of-this-world experience >
5. Rejuvenation: Have some serious fun
It’s far from all child’s play in this most curious of countries, but it’s an incredible wonderland and a wonderfully revitalising, life-affirming experience with the kids and community here.
