General Info

Known for the theory of evolution, Darwin’s famous finding, its diversity in flora and wildlife, and its unique peaceful atmosphere and landscapes, the Galapagos Islands should be at the very top of any traveller’s bucket list. 

Described by many as heaven on earth, in the Galapagos Islands you’ll find from the only penguin species found north of the equator, to as many as 13 active volcanos across 21 islands. This magical place has a lot to offer at just over an hour flight from Ecuador’s mainland.

Your Unique Adventure

The volcanic coastline and its pristine beaches make it one of the most coveted spots in the world. The only routine we have in this desolate part of the world is witnessing its serene sunsets and sunrises on the shores. Everything else repeatedly stuns the senses and all expectations; from the pearly white-sand beaches of San Cristóbal to the red beaches of Rábida, and the footprints of marine iguanas that guide you to the most graceful encounters with wildlife you’ll ever experience.

Two Ways to Travel The Islands

There are two ways of exploring the Galapagos Islands: by hopping between islands or by cruise. 

1 – Island-hopping (also referred to as land-based) means you’ll stay at hotels on the main islands, and do day trips from there.


2 – On a cruise, travel at night to a new destination and explore during the day.


Which option you choose should be driven by the trip you envision for yourself: which islands and wildlife are a must-see, what pace you want to follow, how flexible you want to be, etc… Knowing what you want is key. That is why we’ve broken down the differences between the two in our blog. It also includes a handy overview of the pros and cons of both options.
