The Galapagos have become a major destination for those wanting to experience nature at its best and most unspoilt.

There are now many ships offering 3, 4 or 7 nights combination cruises or diving programs in the Islands. 

We have operated a rigorous selection between all ships cruising these waters: here you will find only those ships that meet with good specifications and high standards of service.
When considering a cruise, please always remember that you will need to add 1 night before and 1 night after on the mainland before your cruising itinerary.

This is necessary because of flight schedules: these days will need to be added to visit.

PLEASE NOTE: All Cruises are presented as CRUISE ONLY (no airfare is included) and at least 1 night before and after the cruise must be spent in Guayaquil because of flight schedules. 

Best airfare from your departing city will be included, on request, for your departure time as well as the necessary additional nights. 

Even though a few of the latest additions offer diving and/or snorkeling gear on board, most of these cruise ships offer very limited diving or no diving at all (generally only snorkeling is included) as the best diving sites are sometimes too far from any regular itinerary. 

Diving cruises are operated by some of the vessels and are usually 7 nights or longer. 

The same vessel may offer regular (naturalist) cruises and only some cruises are operated as diving cruises and space usually sells very fast and well in advance!
