Seeing the Galapagos Islands is something many adventurers dream about, and when you’re looking at Galapagos Islands tour packages, it helps to know what to expect before you go. With Good Life Expeditions you can explore this remarkable archipelago in ways that suit your travel style, whether that’s aboard a cruise ship exploring multiple islands or staying on land and discovering the wildlife up close. From snorkeling with marine animals to guided hikes across volcanic terrain, a Galapagos tour with GLE is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience.
Choosing Your Galapagos Experience
We offer a range of Galapagos Islands tour packages that showcase the best of the islands’ biodiversity and landscapes. You can choose between land-based tours with comfortable accommodations and day trips to iconic sites, or opt for a cruise that lets you visit multiple islands while enjoying life on the water.
Cruise options often appeal to travelers who want to maximize their time exploring the archipelago. Several vessels recommended by Good Life Expeditions, such as the Galapagos Legend, Coral Expedition Cruises, and the Petrel Catamaran, each have their own style and experience to offer.
Aboard the Galapagos Legend
One of the most popular ships is the Galapagos Legend, a comfortable, medium-sized vessel with spacious cabins and communal areas designed for relaxation between excursions. Guests enjoy meals onboard, naturalist guides who share insights about the wildlife and ecosystems, and social spaces like decks and lounges to unwind as you travel between islands.
Daily adventures could include hikes up volcanic trails, kayaking along pristine coastlines, dinghy tours to hidden coves, and snorkeling with playful sea lions and colorful fish. Every day offers something new, from land-based exploration to time in the water, and expert guides help you make the most of each activity.
Intimate Journeys on Coral Expedition Cruises
If you prefer a more personal experience, Coral Expedition Cruises operate on smaller yachts like Coral I and Coral II. These ships are designed for intimate groups that can move quickly between sites while enjoying attentive service from the crew and naturalists.
On these yachts you can expect comfortable cabins, shared meals featuring Ecuadorian cuisine and international favorites, and plenty of opportunities for exploration. Excursions included in these tour packages range from snorkeling with marine iguanas to coastal kayaking and hiking across multiple islands, sometimes even twice in one day.
The Petrel Catamaran: Sleek and Scenic
For those who want a different perspective on the Galapagos, the Petrel Catamaran combines smooth sailing with direct access to nature. This smaller vessel gives travelers a chance to navigate tight coastal channels and smaller visitor sites, often with a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.
Whether you’re on the deck watching for wildlife or stepping off to explore lava fields and tide pools, catamaran cruises offer both comfort and close encounters with the archipelago’s extraordinary flora and fauna.
Daily Life on a Galapagos Tour
No matter which of our Galapagos Islands tour packages you choose, life on each expedition is a balance of guided adventure and personal discovery. Expect early mornings for the best wildlife viewing, afternoons filled with snorkeling and hiking, and evenings sharing stories with fellow travelers under the stars.
Wildlife sightings are frequent and varied: giant tortoises ambling through shade, blue-footed boobies dancing by the shore, and sea lions lounging near sandy beaches. The islands are a UNESCO-protected site known for their unique species and ecosystems, which you’ll come to understand more deeply through guided excursions.
