One of our newest yachts, the La Pinta is a gorgeous 207-foot expedition yacht, with capacity for 48 guests. La Pinta will offer a relaxed yet lavish expedition atmosphere, with plush outside cabins, large view windows, the highest standards of service, the very best international cuisine plus celebrated Ecuadorian dishes, and all the amenities that make the Galapagos Expedition a trip of a lifetime.
LA PINTA is the Spanish name of
Abingdon
Island in the northwest of the Galapagos Archipelago – where the islands’ most well-known creature comes from --the Giant Galapagos Tortoise named Lonesome George. Lonesome George is famous for being the last surviving individual of an otherwise extinct race. He is depicted in the logo of the
Galapagos
National Park and an emblem of conservation.
The La Pinta has been awarded a SmartVoyager accreditation due to its sound environmental, social and safety practices. This certification is awarded by the Rainforest Alliance, along with their Ecuador-based partner group Conservación y Desarrollo (C&D), to tour operators in the
Galapagos Islands who meet a set of strict conservation standards.
The goal of SmartVoyager members is to continually search for the best environmental practices available; permanently train staff on how sustainability works; and to continue to emphasize the importance of environment and wildlife conservation, natural resources management, and the well being of workers and local communities.
