Uncover the Galapagos Islands on an exciting sailing adventure
Experience the serenity of the Galapagos Islands as you drift across the Pacific Ocean on this relaxing 10-day sailing trip.

Retrace the 180-year-old voyage of Charles Darwin by sea, get shell-shocked by giant tortoises and go birdwatching for boobies on the shores surrounding the stunning Galapagos Islands. As far as Galapagos adventures go, this trip is nothing but smooth sailing.

Classic Galapagos - Itinerary A Summary
Add to ShortlistDay 1 Quito
Quito is a cultured city with a wonderous Old Town, a dynamic nightlife and atmospheric streets showcasing Ecuadorian life in all its splendour.
Day 2 Baltra/Isla Santa Cruz
The archipelago's main airport is on Isla Baltra - the gateway to the Galapagos.
Located in north-eastern Santa Cruz, Punta Carrion is a shallow and protected cove with plentiful marine life, ideal for snorkelling and swimming.
Day 3 Isla Isabela
The largest island in the archipelago, Isla Isabela was formed by five giant volcanic craters, all of which are still considered active.
Day 4 Isla Floreana
A highlight of any Galapagos cruise, Isla Floreana is rich in natural wonders and wildlife, including seabirds such as boobies, pelicans and frigates.
Day 5 Isla Santa Cruz
Isla Santa Cruz is home to the Charles Darwin Research Station which offers visitors their best chance for close-up encounters with giant tortoises.
Day 6 Isla Santa Fe/Isla Plaza Sur
Isla Santa Fe is a lovely place to take a dip with sea lions and its cacti forests are host to a unique sub-species of land iguanas.
A small island of great natural beauty, Isla Plaza Sur features rugged cliffs, prickly pear cacti and a gathering of male sea lions known as 'the gentlemen’s club'.
Day 7 Isla Espanola
Due to its remote location, Isla Espanola has a large population of endemic birdlife and its coastline provides excellent opportunities to see reef sharks, turtles and tropical fish.
Day 8 Isla San Cristobal
The eastern-most island in the Galapagos, a variety of seabirds nest on Isla San Cristobal, including blue-footed boobies, red-footed boobies and frigates.
Day 9 Isla San Cristobal/Quito
