Best of Galapagos Islands Attractions & Luxury Tours, Ecuador

Make your selection of luxury ship or yacht from which to tour the mesmerizing Galapagos Islands. This archipelago of 19 small islands has captivated the hearts and minds of those who have explored and visited them since their discovery and there’s nothing like touring these impressive islands from aboard a luxury cruiser.

The wildlife which thrives on these dots of earth in the Atlantic Ocean located some 620 miles west of Ecuador is not only exotic, but virtually unafraid of mankind. The odd variations of Galapagos fauna inspired much of the Theory of Natural Selection presented by Charles Darwin and this archipelago remains a popular site for study by natural scientists and historians.

During luxury Galapagos tours, explore these exotic environments where you will encounter amazingly unique creatures and have up close and personal experiences with them. Go scuba diving and snorkeling with gliding sea turtles and playfully curious sea lions. Adore giant tortoises at the Charles Darwin Research Center. Snap a photo of yourself with a backdrop of colorful Galapagos penguins. Stop off at Bartolome Island, climb to the top of its famous hill and behold the grand, classic view of the Galapagos region, stunning bays and sparkling blue sea.
