Each year, we ask our travelers to submit their favorite photos from their journeys with us for a chance to be featured in our annual calendar.
This year, as always, we had many great submissions, and it was a challenge to narrow it down. We're excited to share the finished result! Thank you to everyone who submitted their photos and shared their stories with us. This year's cover captures a dreamy underwater scene in the Galápagos Islands. Check back on our blog to see each Photo of the Month, or click here to view the full calendar.

The Galápagos offers exceptional snorkeling, with clear water and wildlife that are more curious than cautious, even small fish. This image features our local expert, shown diving toward the sandy seafloor as a dense school of fish streams past, twisting and folding like a ribbon. Instead of scattering, the fish keep pace alongside us and offer a glimpse into their world. The diver’s silhouette against the pale bottom sets the scale and mood, emphasizing open space and the quiet pull of what lies below.
