Experience an in-depth Galapagos Tour from the comfort of premium expedition vessels and the only beachfront hotel in Santa Cruz
Cruises in the Galapagos are often referred to as Expedition Vessels due to their much smaller size (max. capacity of 100 guests) when compared to traditional, massive ocean liners.
Not only that, Expedition Vessels distinguish themselves by putting a considerable focus on engaging their guests with the surrounding ecosystems of the Galapagos, all while fostering environmentally-sustainable and socially-responsible tourism. And they do this, in large part, by having at least one Naturalist Guide onboard!
Select Expedition Hotels in Galapagos also differentiate themselves by making sure their guests can connect with the unique setting that surrounds them. This is done by offering them a wide variety of exciting exploration options of the National Park in the company of a Naturalist Guide. You can experience all these highlights on our Galapagos Island Tours.
With an average of just 12-13 guests per certified Naturalist Guide — a more favorable ratio when compared to the National Park limit of 16 guests per guide.
With a fully equipped infirmary. At the ready to assist guests during any part of their tour, if need be. Available 24/7, and will even join guests on certain excursions.
Include glass-bottom boats, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling, swimming, and dinghy coastal explorations. Offered at no additional cost.
What makes a Galapagos Island Cruise one of the best options for experiencing the archipelago?
To name a few: Higher odds of seeing a greater number of iconic species, access to a wider gamut of extraordinary landscapes, presence of an insightful and engaging Naturalist Guide on every excursion, and the benefit of being able to make the most use of daylight by sailing between islands at night.
For the best and most complete Galapagos Hotel experience, we recommend Expedition Hotels. These types of hotels in the Galapagos are strongly suggested because they offer a perfect balance of options that cater to: adventure, relaxation, gastronomy, and the complete freedom to explore the Enchanted Isles at your own pace. Best of all? They’re often located right on the doorstep of extraordinary Galapagos wildlife and scenery.
