Our special Hotel based Tours
combine your Galapagos adventures with the comfort of a hotel. They are a
good choice for those who don’t like to visit the Galapagos Islands on a
cruise boat and we recommend to stay a couple of days extra before or after
a cruise. Stay in one of the small charming villages of the inhabited
islands Sta. Cruz, San Cristobal, Isabela or Floreana and
enjoy life.
You stay in a hotel of your choice and visit
the Galapagos National Park
on Day Tours to the visitor sites
around inhabited islands.
Bilingual naturalist guides show you the
wonders of Galapagos on interpretive
walks and boat trips. Or just relax on one
of the wonderful beaches…
Discover the amazing underwater world of the
Galapagos Marine Reserve
on daily snorkeling or dive trips. For more
details check our chapter Diving.
Enjoy a nice dinner in one of the open air
restaurants, a cool beer or cocktail
in one of the bars or go dancing to the
rhythms of Latin-American music…
The tours below are designed for people with
interest in Wildlife & Natural History
Containing activities for all abilities like
easy hiking, swimming and snorkeling
