Galapagos

Galapagos

Playful sea lions, gargantuan tortoises, blue-footed Boobies, dinosaur-like iguanas, and thousands of unique flowers and plants draw tourists from around the world to cruise the Galapagos Islands. The moment you step foot on land, you’ll understand why naturalist Charles Darwin saw this place as the earth’s laboratory.

This spectacular chain of islands is one of the world’s most special places. Birders, nature lovers and curious travelers are drawn to this remote outpost 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. A trip to the Galapagos Islands is truly a trip of a lifetime.

Galapagos Cruises

There are many ways to enjoy Galapagos cruises, on intimate small ships, a luxury cruise ship or yachts. No matter what length of cruise you choose, you’ll spend your happiest hours exploring Galapagos wildlife in the company of an experienced naturalist. Shore excursions may include a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station, and to natural wonders of Leon Dormido, Tortuga Bay, and Frigate Hill. You can even hike to the rim of the Sierra Negra volcano to explore its lava tunnels.

Diving the Galapagos Islands

Experienced scuba divers and snorkelers will enjoy unique marine encounters. You’ll find brightly colored coral, fish, and plant life, and curious sea turtles and sea lions. Lucky scuba divers may encounter rays, hammerhead sharks, dolphins, reef sharks, or even the rare Galapagos shark. Because diving in the Galapagos Islands can be challenging due to its currents, surge, varying water temperatures and limited visibility, scuba diving is only recommended for advanced divers. While there are no dive courses for beginners, experienced divers will find many day trips based out of island hotels, and liveaboard dive options.
