Galapagos Islands Tours and Cruises

We offer many different Galapagos Islands cruises to choose from, ranging from tourist class to deluxe class. Several of these ships have 3, 4 and 7 night itineraries, though many only offer 7 nights. For those of you who don't like to overnight on boats, we also offer a land-based options for Galapagos Islands tours, either based in a hotel on one island or island hopping to several islands. We also offer Galapagos multisport tours

There are 2 seasons for Galapagos Islands travel, though the seasons are mainly tied to mainland occurrences because there is always something to see and do on the Galapagos. Low Season is May, June, September, October and some boats offer discounted rates then. September is probably the time when the sea is the least calm.

To the prices indicated for the various options, you must add park taxes of approximately $100 and airfare. When you book the cruise or land option, the air to the islands is automatically booked for you.

As of June 1st, 2008, fuel prices for Galapagos Islands operators will be increased by as much as 150%
as per the decree, signed by the President of the Country and by the Minister of Tourism., so some ships are now charging fuel supplements.

Galapagos Island Cruise Specials

M.V. ECLIPSE

All new bookings for departures between October 9, 2010 and March 31st, 2011 will automatically participate in a prize draw.

The Prize: A Luxury African Safari for two people!

The winner will be announced on April 7th, 2011 and the prize can be used through March 31st 2012. Some restrictions and conditions apply. We can send detailed information. Because there are few departures between October 9th 2010 and March 31st 2011, all guests do have great odds to win this fantastic prize worth approximately $8,000 USD. Park fees, transfers and flights are not included.

Keep in mind that this prize applies to new confirmations only. Each confirmed guest, regardless of age, will participate in the drawing (prize is transferable), so families and groups have a higher chance of winning! All guests on departures starting on October 9, 2010 through March 31, 2011 will participate regardless of any other promotions or season (Christmas, New Years, etc) applied for their regular cruise departure.
