Unbeatable Value, Unforgettable Journeys

When it comes to travel, you deserve more than just a great destination—you deserve exceptional value every step of the way. At Galapatours, we’re committed to providing the perfect balance of affordability, quality, and unique experiences. Here’s what sets us apart:

Unlike many other travel agents who sell trips to the Galápagos, we are a team of true Galápagos Experts, who all have extensive knowledge of the islands. We have all been to the islands personally would love to share our wealth of knowledge with you, in order to enhance your experience of this incredible archipelago.

As independent agents, we don't have any ties to specific operators. With over 60 vessels in Galápagos, every ship has its own philosophy, and we won't shy away from giving you clear recommendations, based on your interest, fitness level, budget or age.

Discovering the world should have a positive impact. As Galapatours, we are certified and awarded for our engagement in sustainable tourism. Your trips will always meet specific requirements to create the best sustainable impact on the ground while giving you the time of your life. Traveling with us means:

Each booking contributes to Ventura’s Conservation Project.

Your trip supports local businesses.

Your trip is sustainably built.

Your trip respects human rights.

Unlike when booking with other agencies (actually, even with most operators directly!) our bookings are fully protected. As a German operator, we must adhere to the strictest policies and all our customers' bookings are fully protected against insolvency.

Choose a travel partner that puts your experience first. With Polartours, our mission is to make sure your adventure exceeds expectations, and that you create lasting memories and enduring connections to the places you visit and the people you meet.

Golondrina Galapagos Cruise

Budget

We booked an 8 days boat tour of the Golondrina (15 tourists and 8 crew members boat) for our family of 8 (4 adults, 4 boys ages 9-12) from July 12, 2019 to July 19, 2019 with Thomas Richmond from Galapatours. We booked in May 2019 so it was kind of late planning on our part but everything went smoothly and Thomas and Andino were prompt and very helpful, even returning our calls and emails on the weekend. We had a wonderful time on the Golondrina. Everything was easy and was as expected. The crew picked us up at the airport. We booked our own airlines as we were coming from Machu Picchu and Lima, Peru through Quito. We went on a wonderful adventure of the Galapagos on the Golondrina with its fantastic crew for 8 days, hiking and snorkeling everyday and seeing amazing landscape and animals and the kids learned so much and it was great healthy living. The ocean can be rough at night as the boat traveled for 5-6 hours across miles to get to the next island destination but you can't control the ocean and we were deep asleep after all the exercises every day anyway. Kids had no problem with any part of the trip and participated in the hiking and snorkeling in the middle of the ocean fine. We brought our own wetsuits for the kids. All the crew on our boat were fantastic. The other 7 passengers on our boat were 3 adults from Washington state, 2 from Texas, and 2 from Switzerland, and they were friendly, well-educated, fit, and engaging. At the end of our 8 days tour, the tour guide walked us to the correct bus transport at the airport (the only way to do it: bus for 5 minutes, ferry across, then taxi to town), to get into Santa Cruz town as we were staying on this main island for extra days (must do as the town is wonderful!). From the first time I emailed Thomas at Galapatours, he emailed me back and called me right away and he presented me with boat options and all the information was there to make the boat decision. I paid by credit card and everything was set and we just showed up at the airport in Baltra and the crew took care of us from there, as in the itinerary. The 8 days boat tour is the way to see the Galapagos, as most islands are far apart and boat can travel at night. As it is, we only saw the Eastern part of the Galapagos archipelago, but we saw all the animals as expected, so maybe we were very lucky (saw humpback whales too). Next time, we will do another 8 days to see the Western side and we will use Galapatours to book our trip!
