Galapagos islands holidays

The Galapagos Islands are made up of 13 main islands and numerous smaller ones, all the result of volcanic activity. It was the Galapagos Islands that Charles Darwin visited as a naturalist on HMS Beagle in 1835, and started to form his theory on evolution. His book "On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection" brought the world's attention to the Galapagos Islands, and since then they have been a focus for the interest of scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

The Galapagos Islands are all very different and they each have specific landing sites and visitor sites. The nature trails are carefully marked out to avoid disrupting the wildlife, and we follow these accompanied by our expert on-board naturalist guide. 

Exact Galapagos holidays and Galapagos cruise itineraries depend on the yacht you choose for your Galapagos Cruise, but as well as the land trails, you will also have an opportunity to go swimming and snorkelling, perhaps even being joined by sea lions. Diving is available on some Galapagos yachts. Much of the longer distances are covered at night, ensuring that your time visiting the Galapagos Islands is put to the best use.
