THE ENCHANTED ISLES
Selecting Your Galápagos Tour
The Galápagos Islands offer a truly immersive expedition into one of the world’s most extraordinary ecosystems. Each tour reveals the archipelago’s diversity: kayaking beside sea turtles, snorkeling with sharks, hiking volcanic trails, or watching blue-footed boobies dance just steps away.
Wildlife encounters are up-close and constant, thanks to the animals’ unique lack of fear. Luxury here means access to the raw, untouched beauty of nature with expert guidance and care for sustainability. We offer Galápagos tours from 4 to 13 days, where you will discover the full beauty of this archipelago.
BY SEA OR BY LAND
Galápagos Islands Tours: Choose Your Style
There are two ways to discover the Galápagos Islands: by boat on a cruise or on a land-based, island-hopping tour. Each offers a different rhythm, access, and experience.
Galápagos Land-Based: Island Hopping
With an island hopping tour, you stay on one of the three main inhabited islands — Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal, or Isabela — or all three. Guided excursions run each day; in the evenings, you return to a comfortable hotel.
Daily activities include snorkeling, diving, hiking volcanoes, interpretation center visits, and historical site exploration. Transportation by water and on land is included. A great option for travelers who prefer sleeping on land, suffer from seasickness, or want more flexibility and a more economical option.
Sea-Based: Galápagos Cruises
The main advantage of a cruise is that you travel at night and during the day you have the entire day to explore the most remote spots of the archipelago. Cruises access uninhabited islands like Fernandina and Genovesa that are impossible to reach on day trips.
From tourist class to tourist superior, luxe, and first-class — cruises take from 4 up to 15 days with starting points at Baltra or San Cristóbal airport. Boats typically have around 10 cabins, and all meals are included onboard.
Diving Tours
The Galápagos Islands are one of the best diving spots in the world, as recognized by the PADI community. Dive into the underwater wonderland of Wolf and Darwin — two of the archipelago’s most renowned dive sites — with expert guides by your side.
You can even take your full PADI course at the Galápagos Islands. Our best-selling diving tour is the 7-Day Galápagos Diving experience, combining world-class dive sites with island exploration on non-dive days.
