The Galapagos Islands are a collection of 18 volcanic islands and 40 islets hosting an abundance of wildlife and natural wonders not found anywhere else in the world. You can swim with sea lions, visit a tortoise breeding centre and snorkel amid tropical, colourful fish.
It’s vital that you choose the right vessel for your cruise around the islands and here we bring you our favourites; a selection that features sailing ships, catamarans and luxury yachts of all sizes and each with different features. Our Latin America Regional Specialists can help you choose. And if you don’t have your sea legs, we can also offer you a land-based trip, which ensures you see the islands on a variety of activities, like mountain biking for example.
