One of the most memorable parts of exploring the Galápagos Islands is something called a wet landing. Instead of docking at a pier, our Zodiac pulled up to shore and we simply stepped into the water before heading off to explore. In the Galápagos, water shoes or sandals are usually perfect for these landings. But expedition cruising isn’t always this warm. In Antarctica and the Arctic, wet landings are a completely different experience. The water is much colder, which is why expedition ships provide insulated muck boots and waterproof outer gear to keep you comfortable while exploring some of the most remote places on Earth. Whether it’s the wildlife-rich shores of the Galápagos, penguin colonies in Antarctica, or remote Arctic beaches, these Zodiac adventures are often where the real expedition begins. Would you step into the water to explore one of the world’s most incredible destinations? ❤️ #Galapagos #ExpeditionCruise #AdventureTravel #ZodiacLanding #GalapagosIslands #WildlifeTravel #LuxuryAdventureTravel #AntarcticaCruise #ArcticCruise #BucketListTravel #RiverAndExpeditionCruiseExpert #LushLifeTravel
