The MT Sobek Experience

For the ultimate wildlife adventure in the Galapagos, join our expert naturalist guides aboard our privately chartered first-class yachts and catamarans—including the Galaxy and EcoGalaxy—or splurge with a private charter of the elegant luxury catamaran Endemic. Choose either an Eastern Loop cruise aboard Galaxy or a shorter Western Loop cruise aboard EcoGalaxy, or see two of the most incredible and iconic wildlife destinations in the world on our popular Galapagos & Amazon Adventure.

Our small-group experiences—all with a maximum of 16 guests—are the best way to see these remarkable islands, like no other place on Earth. Whether joining an MT Sobek chartered Galapagos cruise or choosing a land-based adventure with a private guide, we intentionally keep our group sizes small to allow greater flexibility and more time to hike across otherworldly volcanic landscapes, paddle sea kayaks in serene mangrove lagoons, and snorkel turquoise waters with sea turtles, penguins, and sea lions—an interactive underwater experience like no other! Want to know when to go? Check out our information on the best time to explore the Galapagos here.

Small Group Travel

The Galápagos Islands are perfect for families and couples looking to enjoy immersive exploration in small intimate groups, which is why we book no more than 16 guests on each departure. Going small means you have greater access to all of the activities, more flexibility for shore excursions, and more personal attention from your expert guides and crew.

Explore the Islands

With more than 50 years of experience exploring the Galapagos, we have what it takes to get you to the heart of the Enchanted Isles. Find out more about the islands and the wildlife from our expert team.

Amazing Wildlife

Charles Darwin immortalized these equatorial islands for their highly adapted, endemic wildlife. Evolving in isolation for eons, the wildlife remains fearless of humans and allows for magical up-close encounters with sea lions, blue-footed boobies, marine and land iguanas, giant tortoises—even penguins!

We Are Committed to Conservation

We are proud to work closely with the Galapagos National Park to help support the long-term protection of the islands. Our annual donation to the Galapagos Conservancy seeks to preserve the fragile ecosystems and wildlife of the Galapagos—and ensure a sustainable future.
