Lammer Law

Lammer Law offers lots of space and comfort for a naturalist and diving Galapagos cruise. Attractive and functional, there are 8 very roomy cabins for 16 passengers, either double beds or two twin beds. Each cabin has private facilities with fresh, hot and cold water showers.

The main salon is large, complete with bar, cozy sofas, TV/VCR and stereo and this is where passengers will gather each evening to be briefed on the next day's activities, watch a film, enjoy a drink at the bar, or just to relax. All meals will be served outside; the dining area is located in the stern of the yacht.

The sun deck on Lammer Law is fantastic, and consists of the whole exterior area of the yacht. It has lots of space to sunbathe, read a book, take pictures and just enjoy.

Galapagos Experience
Arrive mid-day at Baltra Airport from your TAME Boeing 727 three-hour flight from mainland Ecuador (the islands are in the Pacific Ocean 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador)

Upon arrival you will be met by your National Park Certified Naturalist Guide, who will be with you for your entire Galapagos Cruise

Your Naturalist Guide will escort you on a bus for the short drive from the airport to the pier where you will board your home for the next week, M/S Lammer Law

After lunch onboard, and within hours of your arrival to the islands, you will make the first of many land visits

Your Naturalist Guide will always be with you, escorting you on land visits, lecturing each evening, and accompanying you on snorkeling excursions and panga rides

With the exception of the town of Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz Island) the itinerary will typically include visits to at least 8 uninhabited islands of the Galapagos National Park system, each with different and diverse flora and fauna

Your naturalist itinerary cruise (8 day 7 night) generally provides for two land visits a day (each land visit is typically 2-3 hours long) plus swimming and snorkeling opportunities

Should you be on a diving itinerary, each day will offer an average of two dives per day plus some land visits

Each evening your Naturalist Guide give a briefing on all aspects of the Galapagos and the next day activity schedule

Each day will offer the opportunity to observe up close the amazing animals and birds which inhabit these islands (and have no fear of humans) such as giant tortoises, marine and land iguanas, sea lions, red and blue footed boobies, frigate birds, Darwin finches, turtles, flightless cormorants and penguins

Last day of the voyage return to Baltra for flight to Quito (or Guayaquil) via TAME Boeing 727
