Get away to the Enchanted Isles

The Galapagos archipelago’s remote location allows you to feel like you have the islands all to yourself. Tourism controls limit the number of people who can visit the islands and keep the environment in its pristine natural state. You may find more animals than other tourists if you visit the islands on an expedition cruise. There is no better place to get up close and personal with unique wildlife than the Galapagos! Hopping on an expedition cruise offers you the adventure of a lifetime, filled with excitement as well as romance!

The Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel, tucked away in a quiet corner of Santa Cruz Island, offers a perfect getaway for couples. Enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner by the pool with a view of the ocean that’s right by Playa de los Alemanes, or take a walk around the mangroves surrounding the hotel. Whatever your choice may be, know that the tranquility and magic of the Enchanted Isles will always be with you.
