Location
The Galapagos Islands sit in the Pacific Ocean on the west coast of Ecuador. The word unique is often overused in the travel industry, but it’s very much true of this beautiful archipelago, home to many species that can’t be found anywhere else.

A wildlife-lover’s paradise, this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can see blue-footed booby, penguin, marine iguana, giant tortoise and an abundance of sea lion. Tourism and commercial development in this delicate ecosystem is carefully controlled, meaning animals aren’t fearful of humans and you’re able to get up close to many creatures.

Accommodation
This chic yacht oozes sophistication, with just four cabins and two suites aboard. In each you’ll find a large and comfortable bed, parquet floors, en-suite bathroom facilities, and all-important air-conditioning.

Decor and furnishings are modern, featuring calming blues and neutral colours and materials, creating a peaceful sanctuary for you to retreat to after a busy day on the islands. You’ll notice carefully placed portholes and windows too, giving you spectacular views over the islands and the sparkling ocean.

Guest areas are spacious and incredibly relaxing thanks to the floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that flood them with swathes of Ecuadorian sunlight. Of course, these windows allow for unbeatable sea vistas too, a constant and welcome reminder of your extraordinary location.
Join your fellow travellers for chats in the lounge and in the evening, head to the outdoor Ocean Bar, the perfect spot to watch the sunset with a glass of something cool in hand. On the sun deck, while away the evening relaxing in the hot tub or soak up the sun on the comfortable loungers.

When it comes to dining, you’ll be spoiled by the yacht’s creative and passionate team of expert chefs. The Galapagos Explorer boasts a chic indoor dining room, or you can choose to go al fresco and enjoy your meals accompanied by those unforgettable views.

Experiences
  • Don your snorkel to meet the marine life living beneath the water’s surface - turtle, tropical fish and sea lion are among the most popular residents.
  • Join your guide to find the island’s wildlife, renowned for its calm and relaxed temperament. Together you’ll seek out penguin, iguana, and blue footed booby, to name just a few!
  • Each island offers something different, so we recommend spending time on several, making the most of the variety. Visit charming island towns, luxuriate on idyllic beaches and even explore volcanic tunnels.
  • The second largest island, Santa Cruz, has two giant tortoise reserves and is the best place to be if you want to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
  • Hiking these volcanic islands, lungs full of sea air and exquisite scenic vistas in every direction, is an incredible experience adaptable for any level of fitness.
