Galapagos Islands Tours & Holidays

Step into an isolated world. See giant tortoises roaming and unforgettable landscapes unfurl before your very eyes. 

Inquisitive sea lions and spiky marine iguanas breach and bask between island and shore. Friendly hammerhead sharks patrol the depths and blue-footed boobies cut through the sky. Come with us on our Galapagos Islands tours & holidays and observe the local wildlife in the same, untouched way Charles Darwin did hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, these Ecuadorian islands host a steady stream of modern-day explorers from animal-seekers who long for face-to-face encounters to sun-chasers itching to relax on a pristine beach or two. Embark on your own adventure as you wander from isla to isla, soak in crystal-clear waters, traverse volcanic landscapes, and spot animals you've only ever seen pictures of. To be honest, there's simply no place on Earth quite like the Galapagos.

Galapagos Island Hopping

Kurt · Traveled February 2024
Perfect trip! Our Galapagos Island Hopping trip exceeded our expectations. We had a fantastic time on these amazing islands, and we found our intrepid trip to be very well organised! Our guide, Dome, was very knowledgeable, kind, interesting, and on top of being a great guide she was lovely company. She transmitted her love for the islands while teaching us about wildlife, culture, and history, and she was always ready to answer all of our (numerous!) questions, to share extra resources, and to adapt the plans flexibly to the group’s needs. She added a great deal to an already awesome trip! Great job Intrepid, and great job Dome!
