When is the best time to visit the Galapagos?

The Galapagos are a year-round destination, and the best time to visit the islands depends on the wildlife you want to see and your preferred travel style.

• Warm season (Dec–May): calmer seas, sunny weather, great snorkeling.

• Cool season (Jun–Nov): active wildlife, excellent diving, cooler temperatures.

Both seasons offer unforgettable experiences and we help you choose the ideal dates based on wildlife cycles, weather, and comfort preferences.

How many days do I need in the Galapagos?

For a luxury journey, we recommend 6–10 days.

• Cruises: 4, 5, 6, and 8-day itineraries

• Land-based journeys: 6 - 12 days

• Combination programs: 8 - 14 days

More days allow you to access remote islands, enjoy richer wildlife, and travel at a comfortable pace.

Is a Galapagos cruise or land-based itinerary better?

Both options are excellent and offer different experiences; we design both and can help you select the option that best matches your interests and travel style.

Cruises offer access to remote islands, daily guided excursions, and wildlife encounters far from populated areas.

Land-based stays offer slower travel, cultural immersion, boutique eco-lodges, and flexibility for families.

Are Galapagos trips suitable for families?

Absolutely. The Galapagos are an extraordinary destination for families. Many yachts and lodges offer family-friendly accommodations, private charters, flexible activities, and safe guided wildlife encounters.

We create itineraries tailored to kids, teens, and multigenerational groups looking for educational and unforgettable experiences.

Are private yacht charters available?

Yes, private charters are one of the most exclusive ways to experience the Galapagos. Ideal for families, milestone celebrations, and groups of friends, charters offer full privacy, personalized itineraries & touches, dedicated crew, and exclusive wildlife access.

We specialize in luxury charter design, working with a handpicked collection of small ships and yachts that meet the highest standards of comfort, safety, and sustainability. Our team curates each charter with intention and expertise, ensuring a seamless, meaningful journey from start to finish.

Do I need a naturalist guide to explore the Galapagos Islands?

Yes. Most visitor sites in the Galapagos National Park require travelers to be accompanied by a certified naturalist guide as this ensures wildlife protection, responsible tourism, and a deeper understanding of the islands’ unique ecosystems.

All luxury cruises, private charters, and curated land-based itineraries include top-level naturalist guides (Level II or III) who elevate the experience through expert interpretation, safety, and exclusive access to protected areas.

Traveling with a guide is not only required, it is one of the aspects that makes a Galapagos journey truly meaningful and immersive.
