Arranging a custom trip

Selecting the right Galapagos cruise can be an overwhelming experience...

If you are like most of the 75,000 lucky people will embark on a Galapagos cruise this year, you are probably going to do this just once.  You've probably been keeping your eyes open and have noticed plenty of ads.  A search on the internet reveals dozens of operators offering cruises to Galapagos.  Doing a little research, you'll find that there are over 60 ships of all shapes, sizes and qualities that ply the Galapagos waters, that each seems to follow a different itinerary, for different lengths of time, visiting different islands, and that you must be accompanied by a Park certified naturalist guides at all times.  Further research reveals a wide range of prices, from as low as US$4,000 to as high as US$15,000 (or more) for an 8 day cruise, while some include the flight from the continent and/or the Park entrance fee, others don't.  And this is only the beginning…   In short - organizing a Galapagos trip can be an overwhelming challenge.

Over the years, we've helped more than 5,000 people arrange their ideal trip based on their particular needs, steering clear of ships with questionable reputations, and directing them towards itineraries that met their interests (e.g birders, water lovers, physical activity enthusiasts, younger crowds, family friendly cruises, generalists). We put our personal knowledge to your service.
