South America Galapagos Islands Cruise

Grand Majestic Galapagos Cruises

Step aboard the 16-guest Grand Majestic for an upscale experience on a modern and luxurious ship with the feel of a private yacht. Choose between excellent 4-, 5-, and 8-day itineraries full of underwater exploration, panga rides and land treks, led by a certified bilingual naturalist guide. Kayaks, wetsuits and snorkel gear travel on board with you to maximize opportunities for below-water wildlife encounters.

After each excursion, return to a well-appointed ship with a dedicated crew. Relax in an air-conditioned lounge, enjoy a drink with friends out on deck, or soak in the Sun Deck Jacuzzi. The ship boasts her 25-knot max cruising speed as one of the fastest in the Galapagos, and her Master Suite is ready to pamper with his and hers bathrooms and 420 square feet to spread out in.

The Grand Majestic operates two main 8-day itineraries, which can be combined to create a 15-day/14-night cruise with no repeated landing sites. There is also a shorter 5-day route and a 4-day route that each offer a variation of the 8-day Grand Majestic Eastern Galapagos Islands Cruise. You may also customize your trip to be 11 or 12 days.

The 8-day Eastern Grand Majestic cruise operates round-trip from San Cristobal and visits the islands of Floreana, Espanola, Santa Cruz, Genovesa, Rabida and Chinese Hat. Highlights include the red-sand beach of Rabida Island, the chance to spot the Galapagos short-eared owl and red-footed booby birds at Genovesa Island, and witnessing the breeding site of nearly all of the world’s 12,000 pairs of waved albatrosses on Espanola Island. The 8-day Grand Majestic Eastern Galapagos Islands Cruise can be combined with the 8-day Grand Majestic Western Galapagos Islands Cruise to create a longer 15-day trip with no repeated landing sites.

The 8-day Western Grand Majestic cruise operates round-trip from San Cristobal with visits to the islands of North Seymour, Santa Cruz, Bartolome, Santiago, Isabela and Fernandina. Highlights include a hike above the iconic Pinnacle Rock on Bartolome Island, whale watching in the active Bolivar channel between Isabela and Fernandina islands, and the lava flows on Santiago Island. The 8-day Grand Majestic Western Galapagos Islands Cruise can be combined with the 8-day Grand Majestic Eastern Galapagos Islands Cruise to create a longer 15-day trip with no repeated landing sites.

The 5-day Northern Grand Majestic cruise sails from Santa Cruz to San Cristobal with visits to the islands of Genovesa, Rabida and Chinese Hat. Highlights include the red-sand beach of Rabida Island and the chance to spot the Galapagos short-eared owl and red-footed booby birds at Genovesa Island. The 5-day Northern Grand Majestic cruise encompasses the final 5 days of the longer 8-day Eastern Grand Majestic Cruise.

The 4-day Southern Grand Majestic cruise sails from San Cristobal to Santa Cruz with visits to the islands of Floreana and Espanola. Highlights include the green and flour-white beaches of Floreana and witnessing the breeding site of nearly all of the world’s 12,000 pairs of waved albatrosses on Espanola Island. The 4-day Southern Grand Majestic cruise encompasses the first 4 days of the longer 8-day Eastern Grand Majestic cruise.

Every itinerary operated by Grand Majestic is sure to be a hit. However, you can set your own agenda by booking this yacht as one of our private Galapagos yacht charters for your group of 16 or fewer. Due to her size, Grand Majestic also offers an excellent option among our Galapagos Family Cruises & Tours.

Day 2

TUE - Post Office Bay, Baroness Viewing Point, Cormorant Point & Devil's Crown (Floreana)

Land on a beach and head to a spot where 18th century whalers placed a wooden barrel used as an unofficial mail box. The custom continues to this day with Galapagos visitors. So, don’t forget your postcards, and don’t be surprised if the post card arrives to its destination before you even get home! Baroness Viewing Point is a fantastic place to absorb the environment of the Galapagos. Once inhabited by an indulgent baroness and her three lovers, the history of this island is intriguing. The legends about this baroness are associated with a fascinating murder mystery. There are easy trails in this area for exploring the flora and fauna of Floreana.

Cormorant Point hosts a large flamingo lagoon where other birds such as common stilts and white-cheeked pintails can also be seen. The beaches on this island are distinct: The Green Beach is named for its green color, which comes from a high percentage of olivine crystals in the sand, and the Flour Sand Beach is composed of white coral. Enjoy a chance to snorkel around Devil’s Crown which is the rocky remains of an offshore volcano sticking out of the water. This is a great location to spot a wide range of marine creatures.

Day 3

WED - Suarez Point, Gardner Bay/Islet & Osborn Islet (Espanola)

On the trail to Suarez Point enjoy the chance to spot blue-footed boobies, albatrosses and Nazca boobies. This island is the breeding site of nearly all of the world’s 12,000 pairs of waved albatrosses. Also visit a beautiful site on the ocean front with a cliff that the large albatrosses use as a launching pad! Have the chance to see the famous blowhole that spurts sea water into the air. The landscape is great for photography. In the afternoon visit the spectacular Gardner Bay. After landing, walk across a lovely white-sand beach amongst a busy sea lion colony or dive into the water to swim with sea lion pups. There may be curious mockingbirds on the beach.

Day 4

THU - Twin Craters & Fausto Llerena Breeding Center (Santa Cruz)

Visit the Twin Craters located opposite to each other on both sides of the road leading from Puerto Ayora to Baltra. The name is only figurative; not real craters, these formations were created by the collapse of surface material in underground fissures and chambers. The view is breathtaking. Then visit “Fausto Llerena” Tortoise Breeding Center in Puerto Ayora, where giant tortoises are bred in captivity. This is home to tortoises ranging from 3 inches (new hatchlings) to 4-feet-long adults. Subspecies of the giant tortoises interact with one another, and many of the older tortoises are accustomed to humans, stretching out their heads for a photo opportunity. The babies are kept until they are about four years old and strong enough to survive on their own.

Day 5

FRI - El Barranco & Darwin Bay (Genovesa)

El Barranco, also known as Prince Phillip’s Steps, is a steep, rocky path that leads up a high cliff rock face. A marvelous view can be appreciated from here. This site is also home to palo santo vegetation as well as red-footed boobies, short-eared owls, Galapagos storm petrels and Galapagos doves. Next, visit the white-sand coral beach of Darwin Bay which includes a half-mile trail that winds through mangroves filled with land birds. Nazca boobies, red-footed boobies and swallow-tailed gulls can easily be spotted here. Farther down the path find tidal pools where sea lions swim playfully. At the end is a spectacular view of a cliff.

Day 6

SAT - Rabida, Chinese Hat & Santiago

Visit Rabida Island (or Jervis) which is one of the most colorful and volcanically varied islands in the archipelago as well as a great snorkeling site. Start on Rabida’s famous maroon/red sand beach, and after an easy hike, arrive to a stunning lookout to enjoy the amazing landscapes. The island is a birdwatcher’s delight. Some species are abundant such as a few varieties of finches, Galapagos vermilion flycatchers, Galapagos hawks and brown pelicans.

In the afternoon, visit Chinese Hat. This small islet is located near the southeast coast of Santiago Island. Its name comes from the distinct shape of the islet’s summit. Chinese Islet is a great location to view many geological formations such as lava tunnels and lava flows. Some of the lava flows were formed underwater and subsequently raised above sea level. The presence of coral heads on the lava flow indicates this phenomenon.

Day 7

SUN - Witch Hill & Lobos Island (San Cristobal)

Located on the northern coast, the eroded Witch Hill and its surroundings present one of the most picturesque beaches in the Galapagos with its white powdery sand and the abundance of animals. Wildlife includes sea turtles, rays and various types of booby birds. The clear water provides an excellent opportunity for enjoying swimming and snorkeling. Next, take an excursion to Lobos Island which means “Sea Lion Island.” This appropriately named island is ripe with noisy, playful, jolly sea lions who will welcome all to their home with open, well, fins. This island also offers great snorkeling opportunities as well as the chance to see blue-footed and Nazca boobies.

Terms & Conditions

This trip is subject to AdventureSmith Explorations Terms and Conditions. Please read this information carefully and call us if you have any questions. A Traveler Information Form, which includes a release of liability, must be completed and signed by all travelers. Your Adventure Specialist will send you a unique link to complete this form along with a packing list and extensive pre-departure and travel insurance information upon booking confirmation.

Arrival & Departure

Most flights to the Galapagos will depart Quito or Guayaquil between 6:00am and 11:00am on Day 1 and return between 2:00pm and 6:00pm on the final day. We highly recommend travelers arrive to Ecuador two days prior to their Galapagos cruise. If you would like assistance with international flights, please visit our Booking Flights resource page. Note: Your passport must be valid 6 months after your Ecuador trip concludes.

Internal Flights

Flights from mainland Ecuador (Quito or Guayaquil) to the Galapagos are not included in the cruise price, but are arranged for you by AdventureSmith Explorations through your ship. Your Adventure Specialist will book these flights for you on the scheduled Galapagos flight for your particular departure. Airfares vary by departure; your Adventure Specialist will detail these for you in their proposal and on your invoice. On flights from mainland Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands, baggage weight limits are currently 50 pounds for checked items, and 17 pounds for carry-on plus a small personal item. Subject to change.

Activities

There are numerous opportunities to swim and snorkel. The underwater experience is an integral part of any Galapagos cruise. We encourage all travelers to try snorkeling. Wetsuits are available, either free of charge or to rent for a fee (see Inclusions and Exclusions), and are recommended from June to December.

Daily excursions from the boat to the islands will be made in pangas (inflatable skiffs). Trip members will hike from the landing point to specific areas for wildlife observation. Hiking time for most landings will be a couple of hours round-trip with lots of time to stop to study, photograph and enjoy the flora and fauna. Some landings are dry but many are “wet,” requiring cautious footing on slippery rocks. The boat staff will be on hand to assist.

Day 1

MON - Embark San Cristobal to "La Galapaguera"

Arrive at San Cristobal Island in the morning. After passing through immigration and baggage claim, be met by a staff member and transferred to the yacht. Be shown to your cabin where there is time to settle in before lunch and a welcome briefing. Breeding Center David Rodriguez – “La Galapaguera” in Cerro Colorado, is a new visitor site in the southeast part of San Cristobal Island and can now be reached in roughly one hour by road from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. On the trees and shrubs surrounding the site, possibly see land birds like warblers, finches and mockingbirds. Giant tortoises can be observed on the trails.

Day 2

TUE - North Seymour & Black Turtle Cove (Santa Cruz)

In North Seymour possibly see Galapagos sea lions, blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigate birds which are abundant on this island. North Seymour was formed by a series of submarine lava flows containing layers of sediment that were uplifted by tectonic activity. The island is characterized by its arid vegetation zone. Next, visit Black Turtle Cove in the northern part of Santa Cruz. This inlet is surrounded by mangroves and is only accessible by dinghy. The shallow cove is a haven for young marine life. Black-tip and white-tip reef sharks, sea turtles and a variety of rays are often spotted here.

Day 3

WED - Pinnacle Rock (Bartolome) & Egas Port (Santiago)

Head to Bartholome Island where the famous Pinnacle Rock is found. Bartholome consists of an extinct volcano with a variety of red, orange, black and even green volcanic formations. Take a trail of stairs to the summit of the volcano (about 30 or 40 minutes) to enjoy one of the best views of the islands! Also visit a small, beautiful beach surrounded by the only vegetation found on this barren island. The beach is perfect for snorkeling, possibly with Galapagos penguins.

Day 4

THU - Tagus Cove & Urbina Bay (Isabela)

Visit Tagus Cove on Isabela Island which is located across from Fernandina Island, near the Bolivar Channel dividing the two islands. This spot has been frequented by ships since the 1800s, using the area as an anchorage site. Trails winding by Lake Darwin up to a ridge display wonderful views. Urbina Bay is located at the base of Alcedo Volcano on the west coast between Tagus Cove and Elizabeth Bay. This area experienced a major uplift in 1954 causing the land to rise over 16 feet. The coast expanded half a mile out, leaving marine life stranded on the new shore. This area is also a great place for snorkeling.

Next, visit “Fausto Llerena” Tortoise Breeding Center in Puerto Ayora, where giant tortoises are bred in captivity. This is home to tortoises ranging from 3 inches (new hatchlings) to 4-feet-long adults. Subspecies of the giant tortoises interact with one another, and many of the older tortoises are accustomed to humans stretching out their heads for a photo opportunity. The babies are kept until they are about four years old and strong enough to survive on their own.
