Sailing Catamarans

Sailing catamarans are a popular choice for Galapagos sailing tours. They are stable and comfortable, even in rough waters, and they offer plenty of space to relax and enjoy the scenery. Catamarans also tend to have larger cabins and more modern facilities than other types of boats.

Motor Sailboats

Motor sailboats are another great option for Galapagos sailing tours. They offer the flexibility of both sailing and motoring, which allows you to explore the islands at your own pace. Motor sailboats are also typically smaller than catamarans, which means that you'll get a more intimate experience.

Aida Maria Galapagos Cruise

Budget

November 2023

Our 4 day trip on the ship Aida Maria was amazing. The crew was very friendly, the food simple but very varied and there was always enough. The crew also always tried to keep everything clean. I would especially like to mention our tour guide Ivan Valencia. He made everything possible so that we could visit places where there weren't so many tourists before and we were able to see even more animals. As a biologist, his knowledge of the entire animal and plant world was extremely informative. We would book this tour including Ivan again at any time.

Evolution Galapagos Cruise

Luxury

September 2023

We visited the Galapagos Islands with the Evolution cruise. I made the reservation through Gapapatours and we had no problems. Everything went very well, the boat, the organization, the guides, the crew and the rest of the passengers have been fantastic. We have done many activities, both land and water, without ever having the feeling that we had to hurry. The best have been the landscapes and the encounters with marine fauna, mainly being able to swim and play with sea lions and turtles. I highly recommend this trip and would not hesitate to repeat it! Xavier Corretger (Girona)

Sea Star Galapagos Cruise

Luxury

September 2023

We had such a fantastic time visiting Galapagos on the Sea Star cruise! We booked last minute and Hitomi was very helpful in answering our questions and get everything confirmed quickly. The crew members and naturalist guide were very resourceful and nice. We got to visit multiple islands with hiking and snorkeling activities to see plenty of wildlife (6 day 5 night itinerary). Food onboard was FANTASTIC! They also provide snacks after excursions to help us refuel. It's also great to meet people from all over the world on the cruise and share this memory together! Highly recommend the Sea Star cruise to anyone who's visiting Galapagos!

Calipso Galapagos Cruise

Premium

August 2023

Nuestro crucero por las Islas Galápagos ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Hemos viajado en familia con nuestros hijos de 21 y 18 años y todos hemos quedado impresionados. Tanto la estancia en el barco Calipso, su tripulación, el itinerario y los paisajes visitados han hecho de nuestras vacaciones un recuerdo imborrable.

Golondrina Galapagos Cruise

Budget

This was the trip of a lifetime. The Galapagos Islands are a must-visit for nature and animal lovers. Our crew on the Golondrina were warm, friendly, helpful, and kind. Though the personal cabins on the boat are tiny, you rarely do anything in them but sleep! Everything on the boat is kept extremely clean. We had the opportunity to snorkel every day of the trip - even twice a day, occasionally! Our guide was knowledgeable and always stopped to make sure that no one in the group missed anything, down to the smallest finch. Our agent with Galapatours was always very responsive and helpful. Everything about this trip was amazing!

Bonita Galapagos Cruise

Classic

I loved this trip! All the staff on the Bonita Yacht were amazing and gave us a fantastic experience! We did way more snorkeling than I was expecting and it was so cool to swim with sea turtles, fish, sea lions, penguins, marine iguana and even some baby sharks! But my favorite was the panga rides which allowed us to check out places that are closed for hiking and snorkeling. Heads up that lunch and dinner are fixed meals with little choice, and they served a lot of fish. I loved all the meals but if you don’t like fish, plan accordingly. We were very well fed - the chef made everything delicious!
