How Does Your Dream Galapagos Vacation Look?

To stay in a hotel or on a ship? To snorkel or go on a glass-bottom boat? It’s not always either/or on a Galapagos Island vacation, but our team can help you understand the inclusions and added amenities of it all. Our popular Galapagos Island Hopping or Cruise post shows the pros and cons of land vs. sea, but the short answer is that Galapagos cruises are most popular for a reason: you can see more per day.

Every Galapagos trip will have opportunities to snorkel and hike, but other activities to look for include stand-up paddleboarding, sea kayaking, diving, mountain biking and more. For traveling with the family or five-star amenities, see our suggested Galapagos family vacation and luxury Galapagos Island trip itineraries.
