Galapagos Islands
7 Night Galapagos Adventure Cruise| May - Nov | Legendary Wildlife and Nature
The places you visit play a starring role throughout every journey, and planning your Galapagos cruise stops is equally important. While this list isn’t exhaustive of every nook-and-cranny you’ll explore along the way, we’ve included descriptions of key ports and places to help you get to know the wilderness areas, landmark locations, notable regions, and coastal towns. What can you expect? Dozens and dozens of three-feet-long iguanas pile up like sandbags. Watch your step. And because these animals don’t encounter predators, they’re not afraid to get up close to you. Iguanas plop down on pathways and tortoises are in no hurry to get out of the way.
The Galápagos Islands belong to the animals. From millions of years ago to now, each island is filled with discoveries and its own endemic species. Visit the Charles Darwin Research Station for an inside peek at the conservation efforts of the giant tortoise. On Isla Floreana, paddle board alongside sea lions or stroll the white sand beaches as rays relax on the sea floor. Snorkel or kayak along Isla Isabela’s dramatic landscape of eroded tuff cones. Hike Isla Santa Cruz’s Dragon Hill, eyes peeled for expert lounging land iguanas and maybe a flamingo or two.
Because the islands are so isolated and protected, there are regulations regarding activities inside the park and foods that you may bring with you. Galapagos National Park Rules & Prohibited Items to Galapagos Islands

What To Expect In The Galapagos
Ecuador welcomes with Spanish colonial architecture, though chances are you’re here for the wildlife. Get in a snorkel with green sea turtles or a guided amble past blue-footed boobies, flamingos, penguins, and iguanas. Darwin’s famed giant tortoises watch over their natural habitat reminding you that this is an ancient world—for you to explore.
Do it right! Darwin’s Discoveries goes from Guayaquil to seven islands of the Galapagos, boutique yacht style. Enjoy glass-bottom boats and beachcombing, kayaking, snorkeling with marine life. Adventures in Galapagos are active and inspiring. Plus there is plenty of wildlife. It’s why you came and better than you imagined. Check off animals from your Galapagos bucket list, and a few you’ve never even heard of. Wildlife is bigger, better and bolder in the Galapagos.
