HX Expeditions | Galápagos | Island Stewards

In the Galápagos, people and place are deeply connected. In this episode of The Enchanted Isles, Monty Halls meets the local guides and communities who play a vital role in protecting the islands. From naturalist guides born and raised in the Galápagos to conservation-led tourism practices, Monty explores how stewardship shapes every aspect of life here. These are individuals who see themselves not as owners, but as custodians — responsible for preserving the islands for future generations. Through their stories, a deeper understanding emerges: that protecting the Galápagos depends on those who know it best. Subscribe and join the journey.
