Calling all animal lovers, the wait for our Galapagos cruise is over and you can now book this experience of a lifetime with us for 2026!
We have picked an itinerary that goes to some of the smaller islands and where you can see pretty much every animal that calls The Galapagos home, at one of the best times of the year to explore them.
And if the trip sells out, we will have the catamaran all to ourselves.
Our 2026 Galapagos only tour is live. After a fully old out Ecuador + Galapagos tour, we are also offering a Galapagos only itinerary that focuses exclusively on the islands.
Our 10th anniversary is just around the corner and this week, I will share all our celebrations.
Galapagos 2026 sailing
โ
If the Galapagos islands are on your bucket list, this is your chance to sail with us on an exclusive local, female-owned catamaran and a hand-picked itinerary with all the bells and whistles!
This is a trip for true animal lovers, the kind who gets jittery when close to wildlife, that has butterflies in their stomach at the idea of swimming with sea lions, penguins, dolphins, sharks or mantas, that smiles when she is among nature.
5 to 12 December, 2026 (Photographer onboard) when the sea and weather conditions in The Galapagos are optimal. A 8 day / 7 night cruise with optional Quito extensions to make the most of your trips since all flights to Galapagos must go via Quito.
WHERE
We will visit San Cristonal, Floreana, Santa Crus, Santiago, Rabida, genovesa and other smaller islands and bays.
The itinerary combines land-based hiking, snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. We will see stunning landscapes and spot wildlife so close that it will make you go "wow!".

Got questions? We have answers!
Reply to this email or book a time to speak to us live here.
Visit some of the most remote corners of this world and of the Galapagos in the most magical way: with a small group and without other ships around.
We will have the islands and spots all to ourselves only, at the optimal time to be at each spot: In the early morning or late evening for our walks and before lunch for snorkeling.
Our group will have a maximum of 15 guests, though it may be even smaller, and give us the flexibility to jump in the water to swim with a pod of dolphins, play with penguins or snorkel with sea lions when we spot them. Grab your snorkels and jump in!

โจ Premium, 1-to-1 ratio of guest to crew
Our catamaran is Luxury+ and our extension stays at 5* accommodation.
We will be taken care of by a fantastic team of local guides, naturalists and crew that will number as many as the guests, and they are ready to spoil us.
They'll help take our wet suits off, offer a warm drink and some snacks when we come back from every excursion, help us on and off the boats, etc.
Cabins are large, all with balconies to see the sunrise, a top deck with a heated jacuzzi and stargazing sofas, you have never seen the sky as clear as in the Galapagos.
Most of us will only visit The Galapagos once, but if done right, once is enough.

โข Female supporting
We support local and female owned businesses and that is what makes our trips truly special.
We are proud that this trip will be 100% female supporting. Both the catamaran and the hotel in Quito are owned by Ecuadorian women.
The tour will be co-hosted by a female Ecuadorian guide during the extension and by a local naturalist guide in the Galapagos.
The catamaran is the only certified carbon-neutral vessel in The Galapagos and both the boat and activities (on land and at sea) are designed to be as low impact as possible.
Several measures have been implemented to make this trip mindful of the fragile eco-system it visits:
For every guest, a tree will be planted in the Amazon to help with carbon footprint and environmental impact
Food is sourced locally wherever possible, supporting local communities and minimizing transportation footprint
Wildlife sightings are done safely, for us and for the animals. Although it is common for the curious Galapagos animals to come right up to you, we will keep our distance
We will have wildlife experts with us at all times, to make sure we don't do anything that could harm wildlife
โ
โ๏ธ Strategic dates
Wildlife in The Galapagos is endemic, so it can be observed year-round, but the weather can play a major role in how comfortable and easy those sightings are.
Our trip will take place strategically where it's optimal to visit based on the weather, water temp, visibility, sea conditions and rainfall. You don't want to be freezing when you come out of the water or for the sightings to be dampened by rain or constant mosquitoes.
We will make the most of the minimal light pollution to stargaze and see the Milky Way at night, enjoy balmy sunsets & sunrises, snorkel with good visibility, chill by the cleanest beaches and hopefully enjoy some dry days.
โ
๐ฆญ Up and close wildlife encounters
Although we can never guarantee a sighting, our expert naturalists know how to spot wildlife and will help us get up and close to the most commonly seen species. I saw all the below during my scouting trip:
Dozens of sea lions on land and at sea, happy to swim with you
Penguins, who swim with you or chill on the rocks
Hammerhead & white tip sharks
Mantas following our zodiacs and sting rays swimming around
Large schools of tropical fish everywhere
Pods of dolphins following our zodiacs and staying to swim with us
Sea turtles and giant tortoises who live everywhere in Santa Cruz
Most of the trips to the Galapagos will have to transit via Quito.
We are offering several add-ons that take care of flights to and from Quito, the mandatory National Park fees and the transit cards, airport transfers and greeting service and an extension in Quito to discover the best preserved colonial city in South America, which is also World heritage listed.
๐ท Photographer onboard
Our Operations Manager and official photographer Anastasia will accompany this trip and capture candid shots and close wildlife encounters on land, water and under water.
As with all our "photographer onboard" tours, these photos will be shared after the trip for you to share, keep or torture all your friends and family with (wedding-style)
