An ocean of unique wildlife and nature experiences await you on the Galapagos islands!
It’s fantastic to experience the beautiful islands on a cruise or island hopping.
But what should you choose?
Below, you can read about the pluses and minuses of the two modes of travel and find out which one is the best one for you and your travel wishes.
Whether you choose to experience the Galapagos Islands on a cruise or by island hopping, you will enjoy amazing nature and wildlife experiences.
However, the two ways of experiencing the islands differ on some important points, and it’s a good idea to consider the following:
On an island hopping tour of the Galapagos Islands, you stay at hotels on the islands where possible.
Every day, activities are arranged on the island, or there will be a boat trip to a nearby island. In the afternoon/evening, you have time to experience life in the cosy harbour towns on your own, and you can, for example, go out and eat in the evening.
On our island hopping tours, you visit 2-3 islands and you stay on 2 of them: Santa Cruz and Isabela.
For many people, a cruise is the ultimate way to experience the magical atmosphere of Galapagos.
You sail around the islands and the boat is your home for the duration of your tour. This is where you will sleep, eat and spend much of the time.
