For a cruise of the Galapagos Islands, you need to spend time on the Ecuador mainland, before and afterwards. At least a couple of days in total. But why not take advantage and see more of this stunning and extremely varied region? Ecuador is the smallest Andean country, yet you can see the Amazon, Andes and Galapagos easily in one visit. Or you can even head across the border to fabulous Peru and visit Machu Picchu for the true dream trip.

Below are several examples of complete tours. Remember, these are examples, as we can customise and tailor easily to fit your needs.

"Take five-and-twenty heaps of cinders dumped here and there in an outside city lot; imagine some of them magnified into mountains, and the vacant lot the sea; and you will have a fit idea of the general aspects of the Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles. A group rather of extinct volcanoes than of isles; looking much as the world at large might, after a penal conflagration." (Herman Melville)

Testimonials: I traveled to Quito then the Galapagos Islands with a cruise. The price was right, and the trip was fantastic. The people at the hotel and on the ship were wonderful, and ready to help with any need. Galapagos was an adventure of a lifetime.
