Naturalist & Family Cruises:
Naturalist cruises are the most popular way to experience the Galapagos Islands. For souls longing to be in touch with our planet, these departures put you into the most intimate contact possible with nature. Activities include walks & hikes, snorkeling, kayaking and dinghy rides. This is the ideal departure for birdwatchers and photographers as the wildlife’s comfort with visitors to these islands allows for spectacular views and shots. Our Family Cruises include the same activities as our Naturalist cruises, with the added benefit of family-oriented activities offered onboard.

Active Cruises:
These cruises are ideal for active adolescents and adults who want to get the most out of every moment of their trip. They are great for adventure-seeking families and groups who are looking for an occasional challenge along with their restful trip. These departures feature longer walks & hikes, more opportunities to snorkel and go kayaking and even the possibility for occasional diving. Active departures offer the possibility to experience the unparalleled richness of these islands from an entirely different perspective. How much—or how little—activity is packed into each day is entirely up to our guests.
