When visiting the Galápagos, you have the option of a land-based or yacht-based experience. While the land-based option may be a good alternative for those who are prone to sea-sickness, it’s important to remember that the costs are not all-inclusive and there are often less wildlife interactions and more time spent on logistics instead of enjoying all the islands have to offer.
A yacht-based tour provides the ability to see more islands and more wildlife, and each yacht provides one of the region’s best tour guides – a requirement for access into the national parks. And these aren’t the large cruise ships that you may be picturing! Yachts in the Galápagos are smaller vessels, usually with a capacity of 16-20 passengers. This means you can enjoy the beauty of the islands with an intimate group of like-minded travelers; you have the choice between an individual cabin to get to know others, or chartering the whole ship with a group of your family or friends.
With spacious cabins, premium amenities, delicious food, and unobstructed ocean views, a live-aboard yacht is the ideal way to unplug and soak in the natural beauty of this region. Reach out to learn more about this luxurious way to experience the Galápagos Islands!
