This is the best cruise option to see it all! You will visit a wonderful variety of islands and wildlife sites, allowing for a fantastic, comprehensive tour of the best of the Galapagos and it's renowned wildlife.

This itinerary is just an example of an 8-day Galapagos cruise based on the Anahi. Please keep in mind that we offer many vessels, and each boat with its own Park-approved itinerary that often varies from the one listed here.

No matter which vessel you pick, each yacht features professional multilingual naturalist leaders and twice daily scheduled landings or boat tours, and when the opportunity arises, you'll also generally enjoy at least one or more snorkel opportunities either as one of the scheduled activities or in between the scheduled excursions.

What we need to find the best Galapagos cruise for you:

  • Dates you can travel (be as flexible as possible)
  • How many days you want in the Galapagos
  • Do you have a budget in mind, or a level of accommodations
  • Anything specific you need (large/small boat, visiting certain islands, sea kayaks, etc.)
  • If there are any children 11 years old or younger

Ccontact us, and we will find the best match for you!
