About this episode

Steph and Cal share their experiences from an 8-day boat trip in the Galapagos Islands, discussing wildlife encounters and the essence of nature.

Steph and Cal spent 8 days on a boat in the Galapagos Islands with 14 strangers, a local guide, and exotic animals that barely noticed their presence. In this episode, we cover what boat life is actually like, the wildlife moments that blew our minds, a wild experience with scopolamine, and why the Galapagos Islands might be the best place on Earth to see nature as it was before humans took over.
