TRAVEL TO GALAPAGOS NOW!

The Galapagos Islands are one of the most important natural destinations in the world and home to several of the most incredible and unique species on the planet. And right now with very little influx of tourists. Here are the 6 key points we have considered on why it is safe to travel to the Galapagos Islands now.

1. Galapagos is a National Park

The Galapagos Islands were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site more than 40 years ago thanks to their unique natural beauty and also for being home to many unique species in the world. The regulations on the number of visitors allowed to each visiting site on the Islands, has made it possible to develop responsible tourism without crowds for years.

3. A large space available to you

The Galapagos archipelago is made up of 13 main islands, only 4 of them populated (Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal, Isabela, and Floreana), and more than 200 islets, rocks, and smaller islands. Therefore, it is possible to experience a direct connection with its nature, its landscapes, and its unique species in the world, without being surrounded by other people.

Clean air and wide visiting sites are some of the advantages of visiting the Galapagos Islands.

4. Outdoor activities

Tourist tours in the Galapagos Islands are carried out in the open air. As we mentioned earlier, the Galapagos Islands are a National Park, so the activities in this wonderful place will always be outdoors. That is to say, surrounded by nature, incredible landscapes and fresh air. . . If you decide to explore the archipelago on board a cruise, you can enjoy some activities such as hiking, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, among others, exclusively for you and your fellow travelers.

6. Cruise experience

A cruise for only 16 passengers in the Galapagos Islands will allow you to enjoy a pleasant, personalized and very safe experience. Because all the biosecurity measures allow to create a safety environment for everyone on board.

Tourists have adapted to the “new normal” and now enjoy the Galapagos Islands aboard our 16-passenger cruises.
