Galapagos Islands Tours: By Sea or By Land

There are two ways to discover the Galapagos Islands; by boat on a cruise or on a land-based, island-hopping tour. Usually, island hopping tours are the more economical option. Find more information about the Galapagos Islands tours below:

Land-Based: Island Hopping

With an island hopping or land-based tour you will stay on one of the three main islands in the Galapagos Archipelago; Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, or Isabela, or all three! Guided excursions are available each day. In the evenings, you can stay at a comfortable hotel. A few examples of daily excursions are snorkeling, diving, hiking volcanoes, interpretation centers, and historical site visits. Transportation by water and on land is included. You can visit this page to see the different types of island hopping tours.

If you like diving the Galapagos Islands is one of the best spots in the world for diving, as stated by the PADI community. You can even take your whole PADI course at the Galapagos Islands. Check out one of our best-selling diving tours: the 7-Day Galapagos Diving.

Sea-Based: Cruises

At Rebecca Adventure Travel, you can find the best Galapagos Islands cruise tours. From tourist class to tourist superior, luxe, and first-class, you find all the boats for the best price. The main advantage of taking a cruise is that you travel at night and during the day you have the entire day to explore the most remote spots of the Galapagos Archipelago. A disadvantage is the limited space that you have on board (especially tourist and tourist superior class boats). The boats have a limited number of cabins (usually around 10). The cruises take from 4 up to 15 days and the starting points are either at Baltra or at San Cristobal airport.
