Visit Galápagos with the leading tour company - cruising the Islands since 1976! Specializing in active and family vacations aboard small, luxury yachts.

You can't help but be totally captivated by the Galápagos, with its extraordinary wildlife and fascinating landscapes. Charles Darwin called the Galápagos Islands "a little world within itself," and this magical World Heritage Site is like no other place on the planet. In this peaceable kingdom, the endearing creatures have never learned fear of humans, so even today you can have amazing up-close encounters with the all-but-tame island wildlife. And certainly the best way to see and experience it all is to cruise Galápagos!

On our world-class Galápagos cruise you'll see it all in style from aboard a small, deluxe motor or sailing yacht (only 12-16 passengers max!). Cruise from one Galápagos island to the next - disembark for hikes across otherworldly volcanic landscapes; watch seal pups cuddle up to their moms on long white beaches; chuckle with delight at the antics of dancing blue-footed boobies and inquisitive mockingbirds; paddle sea kayaks in serene mangrove lagoons, and swim and snorkel the turquoise waters with sea turtles, penguins, and sea lions who delight in playing tag - an interactive underwater experience like no other in the world.

• Enjoy up close and personal encounters with wildlife in the world’s top nature destination, including snorkeling with sea lions and green sea turtles and searching for giant tortoises in the wild!
