Top 5 Reasons to Choose Galapagos Cruises
- Unique Wildlife: The Galapagos Islands are home to an array of species found nowhere else in the world, many of which are endemic, meaning they exist only on specific islands. A cruise can take you to places like Fernandina to see the rare Flightless Cormorant.
- Pristine Ecosystems: A Galapagos cruise offers access to hard-to-reach islands within this UNESCO World Heritage site, allowing you to experience nature in its purest form.
- Snorkeling and Diving: The Galapagos boasts some of the world’s best underwater experiences. Dive with hammerhead sharks at Wolf and Darwin Islands or swim alongside sea turtles and playful sea lions in crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life.
- The Charles Darwin Legacy: Follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and gain a deeper understanding of evolution as you explore the islands that inspired his groundbreaking work.
- Visit and See More: A Galapagos cruise allows you to visit more islands than an island-hopping tour. Cruises travel between destinations at night or during breaks, so you wake up to new and unique sites every day, maximizing your experience.
