Charles Darwin, who explored this island group about 200 years ago, was stunned by this biodiversity.

Galapagos Island Hopping
Whilst we do often recommend a cruise, an increasing number of visitors never set foot on a live-aboard boat as the choice of lodges and hotels in the Galapagos is growing and with a so-called island hopping tour you can explore some of the uninhabited island with daily boat tours. Galapagos offers everything from backpacker hostels to luxurious resorts.
One of the advantages is that you can create your own itinerary. Usually you pick one or more of the inhabited islands as your base and take day tours to visitors’ sites or other, smaller islands from there.
Our most popular island hopping tour combines Santa Cruz with San Cristobal. It also includes a visit to one of the small uninhabited islands. If beautiful beaches should be a part of your tour, be sure to include Isabela, for example in our 6-days tour. During an extensive 8-day island hopping tour you will stay on the three largest islands (Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Isabela) and participate in many tours, maximizing your chances to observe the amazing wildlife.
Of course we are also happy to build your tailor-made Galapagos tour, according to your interests and budget!
