Cruise the Galapagos…


Wildlife Encounters

Explore many of the best islands of the Galapagos on this fabulous wildlife cruise. Since they were officially discovered, in 1535, the islands have had a rich and varied history. See for yourselves with our range of itinerariesChoose your vessel from tourist class to deluxe, small yachts to a large cruising vessel. Each is equipped to give you smooth navigation, high performance, stability and comfort, in fact everything you need for sailing or cruising around these magnificent Isles.

You island hop mostly by night, which means that you get extra time on land to encounter exotic species, which have been around almost since time began. There will be plenty of time for exploring by foot, quiet observation and photography - the land-based creatures are incredibly tame and often seem to 'pose' for pictures! You might even see bottlenose dolphins, sperm whales or orcas on your travels, too (depending on the time of year).

Below are a few sample itineraries…
