Sun deck, Monserrat GALAPAGOS CRUISE INFORMATION
Discover the captivating world of the Galapagos as we sail around the ‘Enchanted Isles’ on a motor yacht. The Galapagos archipelago lies on the equator 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador and are home to prolific wildlife including: the waved albatross, the giant tortoise, marine iguanas and blue- footed boobies. Accompanied by a National Park guide we explore the island’s diverse landscapes and exotic plant and animal life. We sleep on board and mostly sail at night, maximising time to explore the islands during the day. Along the way we unwind on tropical beaches, snorkel in small sheltered bays and search for sea lions, seals and dolphins in the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean.
THE TOURS
Explore offers five tours which include a Galapagos Island Cruise. The trips range from 12 to 22 days and you can combine your exploration of the islands with a visit to mainland Ecuador or Peru.
Please visit our website for more information including detailed itineraries on our tour options in the Galapagos: EC, ECA, PGS, PGSA and GS.
OUR MOTOR YACHT – THE MONSERRAT
The ship has 6 upper-deck cabins with windows and 4 lower-deck cabins with small portholes.
The cabins are all outward facing with air conditioning and have lower beds and private bathroom facilities.
The social areas on board include a large lounge, a bar area, dining room, a small boutique and a beautiful sundeck – ideal for sunbathing or star-gazing.
Snorkelling equipment, kayaks and wetsuits are available to hire on the boat.
Galapagos Trust
As visitors, it is imperative that we do our bit to conserve the fragile Galapagos ecosystem. We are members of the Trust and our fees give a regular income to the organisation’s projects.
Please note: cabin allocation is designated at the time of booking on a first-come-first serve basis.
WHY CHOOSE EXPLORE?
