Land-based packages

Land-based vacation packages combine the highlights of the Galápagos’ inhabited islands with comfortable hotels, guided day tours, and flexible travel options.

Designed for travelers who value independence, these itineraries allow you to set your own pace—balancing unforgettable guided excursions with self-guided activities and time to enjoy local restaurants, culture, and everyday island life.

We’ll help you book accommodations, inter-island flights or ferries, day tours and more, so you can make the most out of your time in Galápagos. We’ll also recommend activities you can do for free, the sites you can’t miss and the best restaurants you have to try while you’re here!

Cruise-based pacakages

Cruise-based packages combine the highlights of the Galápagos’ uninhabited and inhabited islands with comfortable accommodations aboard the ship, daily guided excursions, and seamless multi-island travel.

Designed for travelers who want an immersive adventure, a cruise lets you explore remote sites with expert naturalist guides, maximize time on the water, and experience the islands’ unique wildlife and landscapes—without the need to repack or change hotels.

We can help you round out your cruise with a stay on one of the islands so you can get the best of both worlds. Plus, we’ll handle all the logistics so you just show up and enjoy!
