An itinerary that can move
The programme may change with weather and sea conditions, inter-island boat schedules and Galápagos National Park requirements. When it does, we adjust the order of the days so you never lose what matters.
Or entirely made to measure
Prefer more time underwater, a slower pace, other islands, or a family-friendly rhythm? Tell us how you like to travel and we design the week around you: dates, length, hotels and activities.

Accommodation
Classic hotels on San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz and Isabela, always in a private room with a private bathroom. Prefer something more luxurious? Upgraded hotels are available on request, priced in your quote.
When to go
All year round. December to May brings warmer water and calmer seas; June to November cooler water, rich in marine life, with rougher seas from August to October. Waved albatross nest on Española from April to December.
Group size
Our boats take up to 12 travellers each, which keeps every visit personal. Larger groups are welcome: we simply split you across several boats on the day.
Arrival & departure
A driver meets you at San Cristóbal airport on Day 1 and takes you to Baltra airport on Day 7: you never have to arrange a taxi.
Booking & payment
Send us your dates: once availability is confirmed, the journey is paid in full to secure every hotel, ferry and excursion in your name.
