Galapagos Cruises

Taking a Galapagos cruise is a convenient way to explore the best of the islands, in this blog we share with you why.

Access to Remote Islands

One of the significant advantages of choosing a cruise to travel to the Galapagos Islands is the unparalleled access it provides to the remote islands. The Galapagos archipelago consists of 19 main islands and numerous smaller islets, each with its own distinct ecosystems and wildlife. Many of these islands are uninhabited or have restricted access to protect the fragile environment.

By opting for a cruise, you can explore multiple islands during your trip, maximizing your opportunities to witness the unique biodiversity that the Galapagos has to offer. Each island has its own set of endemic species, and by visiting multiple islands, you can witness the diversity and adaptations that have evolved in isolation over millions of years.

Environmental Consciousness

Galapagos cruises are subject to strict regulations imposed by the Galapagos National Park and the Ecuadorian government to minimize the impact on the environment.

Responsible cruise operators in the Galapagos adhere to these regulations and guidelines, implementing practices that focus on sustainable tourism. They follow principles such as waste management, water conservation, and energy efficiency to minimize their ecological footprint. By choosing a responsible cruise company, you can contribute to the preservation of the Galapagos’ fragile ecosystem and support ongoing conservation efforts.

Island Hopping Opportunities

By including island stays, you get the chance to immerse yourself in the local culture and interact with the residents of these inhabited islands. You can visit charming towns, dine at local restaurants, and even stay at eco-lodges, providing a more authentic experience.
