Where else in the world can you spend a morning with giant tortoises, swim alongside playful sea lions in the afternoon, and savor a tropical sunset on the top deck of a comfortable sailing yacht? The Galápagos Islands are one of the greatest natural history destinations on Earth, and we experience the best of this fascinating archipelago on our exceptional boat-based journeys!
Cruise the Eastern or Western islands of the Galapagos by deluxe 14-guest yacht with an expert naturalist, enjoy daily hiking, snorkeling, optional sea kayaking
Aboard our delightful 14-passenger yacht, set out for a comprehensive 15-day cruise through all the major islands of Darwin's "enchanted" archipelago
Charter a private yacht, and with your naturalist guide, set off into Darwin’s world for an active journey full of nature hikes and wildlife wonders, including fantastic snorkeling with playful sea lions.
Small Yacht Travel: the Best Way to Experience the Islands — Wake each morning to a new island to explore, and while you enjoy lunch al fresco on deck, we move to a second fascinating site. Traveling by yacht gives you the greatest variety of wildlife, scenery, and certainly the best snorkeling sites.
Active Adventures, with Hiking, Snorkeling, and Sea Kayaking — We capture the wonder of Darwin’s legendary archipelago on daily island hikes, snorkeling excursions that reveal sea turtles, penguins, and a kaleidoscopic array of tropical fish, and optional explorations by sea kayak.
Our Small Groups Ensure your Experience is Personalized — With just 14 guests aboard the Passion, island access, and a 1:1 staff guest ratio—it’s an experience not possible on larger cruise ships.
Explore and Learn with World-Class Trip Leaders — Our Naturalist Guides are the best and most experienced in the Galápagos. They are phenomenal teachers, passionate conservationists, and delightful traveling companions with a gift for creating unforgettable experiences.
Our Commitment to Conservation — Wilderness Travel is a proud founding member of the International Galápagos Tour Operators Association (IGTOA), dedicated to the preservation of these extraordinary islands, and we support the Galápagos Conservancy and the Charles Darwin Foundation.
