This single focus allows them to maximize the impact of the financial investments of their members, who include individuals and institutions that care deeply about the Galapagos Islands and understand the scientific importance of preserving this extraordinary ecosystem.

Accommodation

,Tuvana Hotel, Antalya With only 42 rooms, a stay at Tuvana is like journeying back in time. Experience 18th century romance in royal comfort. Every room is furnished with the finest attention to detail.  Coupled with modern amenities, gourmet dining and it's premier location within the ancient walls of Antalya's historic district, Tuvana is the ideal base from which to discover this historic city. Nisanyan Houses, Sirence Nisanyan House is considered one of Turkey's finest hotels, yet it is a simple and friendly sort of place. It offers you beauty and peace, even a certain degree of elegance. The grounds are extensive, but they make you feel you own the place by yourself. Set in a remote rural village, it is only ten minutes from Ephesus, one of Turkey's top tourist destinations. It probably serves the best food within 100 miles, though you'd think it is mom and pop cooking. It has the most intricately detailed decor of any hotel in the country, yet it all feels perfectly spontaneous and casual.. Four Seasons Sultanahmet, Istanbul Visit a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel retreat in Istanbul’s oldest district. Travel in time with visits to the 6th-century St. Sophia, the 15th-century Topkapi Palace and the 17th-century Blue Mosque, just a five-minute walk from our Sultanahmet luxury hotel in Istanbul's Old City. With 65 Old City Istanbul luxury guest rooms and suites circling a manicured courtyard where birds sing and a fragrant herb garden gives off an enticing smell, Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet provides an intimate enclave in the heart of the city.
Ship & cabin information
Celik
A gulet is a wooden motor sailing vessel. They have been adapted to the most stringent of traveler's requirements and now offer luxury and good taste not found in any other craft of similar history and background. Our current selection includes only those vessels that we believe best meet our demanding standards. We know how well their crews are supported and their level of respect for the ecology of the lands. We know how well the yachts are built and maintained, their safety records, how problems are handled and, a very critical point for INCA, the degree to which the owners share our vision of a great trip. Celik A traditional wooden motorized sailing yacht features a large sundeck, outdoor dining area and DVD in every air-conditioned cabin. 16 guests are accommodated in eight cabins, two with double lower berths and six queen bedded suites.
