Galapaguide

First Class

To really see the Galapagos islands, we recommend you take one of the cruises offered in the following pages. Land based tours are also avaiable but they limit you to nearby islands. Galapagos cruises give you a chance to see more islands located farther away. There are an array of cruises available for every price and time range. We highly recommend taking an 8-day cruise, though if you don't have time, there are 4-day cruises as well. Because each and every island is a distinct little geological and biological world, the cruises give you a chance to see the living science lab of evolution and the Galapagos islands. You'll be able to experience and walk through volcanic rock and see how time changes the harsh landscape, developing lush highland forests. The cruises are also a great way to meet other people who share your same interests. Galapagos Islands Cruises are always an adventure and learning experience and by far the best way to experience the islands.

There are only four islands that offer accommodation: (Click on each one for more information)

All cruises will have a naturalist guide aboard (type I, II, or III). A professional Naturalist Guide is integral to all cruises. Some have several (depending on the size of the boat). The Naturalist Guide is a trained professional who will teach you about the unique geology, flora, fauna, and history of each island. (Check out our FAQ for more information on guide types.) The cruises and tours include transportation, food, accomodation, and guided tours of the islands. There are 5 categories of Galapagos cruises; their differences being facilities, space, type of guide, islands visited, food, and number of passengers aboard. Prioritize! Find out what is most important to you, and book your cruise accordingly.

We work with most of the yacht operators in the Galapagos. We give you unbiased service as a result.

The 5 Categories of Galapagos Cruises are:

Luxury Galapagos cruises

This is definitely far from "roughing it!"
Luxury cruises and yachts are equipped with everything you need: cabins with private baths, AC, hot water, a large dining room, a lounge with TV/VHS and stereo, a large deck for sunbathing and a bar. Buffet-style meals are served. They oftentimes have a higher number of passengers, and some are faster so they can go to the far away islands (Fernandina or the west side of Isabela).

Tourist Superior Galapagos cruises

Comfortable cruises, somewhat roomy, and economical, this is a great option for those of you on a budget but aren't ready to give up all of the luxuries of everyday life. Most of the yachts have private bath, AC, and hot water. The food is quite good as well as the guides.

Tourist Galapagos cruises

The tourist cruises are popular with younger people watching their pennies. They offer great services without the commodities of the other yachts. It's not a bad option for those who are less concerned with comfort than cost. The higher ranking guides aren't usually found on Tourist cruises, either.

Economy Galapagos cruises

These cruises are usually popular with backpackers and young people on tight budgets. Economy cruises follow the same course as the majority of the other boats without the luxuries. The bathrooms are shared (oftentimes with the crew as well), the rooms are small to cramped, and you aren't guaranteed a guide with a good command of the English (French, German etc.) language. Taking a cruise economy-style, though, is a great way to get to know a group of people fast!
