The Best Cruises for Exploring the Galapagos Islands
Briefly

Galapagos cruises offer a unique way to explore the remote islands, focusing on wildlife encounters and sustainability rather than traditional cruise amenities.
The smaller ships, some with as few as 16 passengers, are designed for nature exploration, featuring kayaks and scuba gear to minimize environmental impact.
Traveling to the Galapagos involves navigating logistical complexities, requiring a flight to Ecuador followed by another to the islands under the guidance of National Parks Guides.
The best time to cruise varies, but with year-round pleasant temperatures, unique wildlife activities such as tortoise hatching in December and mating seasons in July can enhance the experience.
