What Makes Galapagos a
Bucket-List Destination
The Galapagos enjoys mild temperatures year-round (approx. 70–85°F / 21–29°C). From Dec to May is warmer and sunnier with occasional showers, while Jun to Nov is cooler, drier, and cloudier- perfect for wildlife spotting.
The place where Darwin's Theory of Evolution was born. Over 30% of land species and 80% of birds are endemic, found nowhere else. Giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and fearless wildlife make every visit truly one of a kind.
Covering over 133,000 km² (51,000 sq mi), the Galapagos Marine Reserve is one of the largest on the planet, protecting 3,000+ marine species, from sea lions and Green sea turtles to Hammerhead sharks and Galapagos penguins.

Our Island Hopping expeditions are designed for travelers who want to stay active and experience the islands every day. Each day brings a mix of soft adventures like biking, or snorkeling, always focused on wildlife encounters. You’ll move between islands by boat, stay in comfortable hotels, join small group tours led by certified naturalist guides, and still have the freedom to explore towns on your own.
9 nights’ accommodation, airport transfers, land transportation, boat transfers, meals (breakfasts and lunches), bilingual naturalist guides, entrance fees, and gear.
Our boutique experiences take the same island-hopping concept and elevate it with greater comfort and a slower pace. You’ll move through the islands by plane, stay in superior handpicked hotels, enjoy curated activities with expert guides, and have more time to connect with each place; whether at a quiet beach, a local cooking experience, or a wildlife site at the right moment of day.
11 nights’ boutique accommodation, airport transfers, land transportation, boat transfer, interisland flight, meals (breakfasts and lunches), bilingual naturalist guides, entrance fees, and gear for activities.
Our Galapagos journeys are designed to match different travel styles without compromising meaningful exploration.
Active Expedition trips feature island-hopping itineraries with snorkeling, hiking, and up-close wildlife encounters, paired with comfortable, family-owned hotels on the main islands.
