Seeking fulfillment and satisfaction in the Galapagos goes hand-in-hand with being led by the master-itinerary-crafters of the archipelago. And that’s where we come in. Because the highest level of satisfaction for our guests is our most important goal and we’d feel pretty guilty if you left the Galapagos without feeling wholly satisfied!

The Perfect Balancing Act

Size is daunting, and the Galapagos is a perfect example of this. The archipelago covers a vast area of 138,000 km², which is about half the size of Great Britain and over a quarter the size of Texas. Consequently, the bigger the archipelago, the harder it is to see it all at once in just a matter of days. Ship choice, however, is what strongly determines just how much of the archipelago you will get to see in a reasonable amount of time.

It’s important to note that not all ships visit every island and, oftentimes, their itineraries don’t offer a comprehensive or balanced experience of what the Galapagos truly has to offer. Additionally, a lot of boats take logistics and revenue into account when structuring their trips.

We don’t.

And before you raise an eyebrow and start to wonder why this is, let us fill you in….

In contrast to other boats, our itineraries for the Santa Cruz II Cruise are instead built from the guide up. What we mean by this is that logistics (i.e. refueling, resupply, etc.) and money were never once the first things that came to mind when we designed our itineraries. It was our guides themselves that played a huge, if not complete role, in designing them! This labor of love on their behalf – in terms of structuring islands, sites, and wildlife in the best and most balanced way possible – offers our guests the crème de la crème of itineraries that absolutely nail it in terms of what the Galapagos has to offer.

The biggest and most renowned islands are included in all of our itineraries. The ability to view practically all of the iconic wildlife in the Galapagos is a fundamental component of each itinerary too. We even balance our activities so as not to give our guests to little or too much of experiences such as snorkeling or kayaking.

Our 3 different itineraries for the Santa Cruz II are, in fact, so perfectly balanced in terms of what they offer that it’s hard for us to even tell you which one’s better. This is often why some visitors decide to combine all three of them and experience the entire archipelago in one go. Which brings us to our next point…
