In groups of no more than 12, the English-speaking naturalist guides take passengers to hike, swim, snorkel, bird watch and take great close-up photos of the flora and fauna.
Lunch is usually served at 12.30, followed by sunbathing or a siesta while the Eclipse cruises to the next island. At around 15:00 passengers disembark for the afternoon excursion, returning between 17:30 and 18:00.
Each evening before dinner there is a lecture and briefing. Dinner is served around 19:30.
