On our world-class Galápagos cruise you'll see it all in style from aboard a small, deluxe motor or sailing yacht (only 12-16 passengers max!). Cruise from one Galápagos island to the next - disembark for hikes across otherworldly volcanic landscapes; watch seal pups cuddle up to their moms on long white beaches; chuckle with delight at the antics of dancing blue-footed boobies and inquisitive mockingbirds; paddle sea kayaks in serene mangrove lagoons, and swim and snorkel the turquoise waters with sea turtles, penguins, and sea lions who delight in playing tag - an interactive underwater experience like no other in the world.

• Enjoy up close and personal encounters with wildlife in the world’s top nature destination, including snorkeling with sea lions and green sea turtles and searching for giant tortoises in the wild!
  
• The most active and comprehensive Galápagos experience available, with nature hikes, snorkeling, and sea kayaking excursions
  
• We do it right: 5 yachts to choose from (we charter the entire yacht—not a “book-in”), 5-star hotel in Quito, the best naturalist guides!
  
• A dedicated in-country staff to see to your every need
