Galapagos Encounter: Central Islands (Grand Queen Beatriz)

Sail into a living natural wonder with the "Galapagos Encounter: Central Islands (Grand Queen Beatriz)," a 6-day guided tour that begins and ends in Quito. This immersive sailing, yachting, and motor boating trip takes you to the heart of the Galapagos, including San Cristobal Island and Bartolome Island, promising daily adventures for nature lovers.

Each day, you’ll step ashore to meet the archipelago’s extraordinary wildlife: sea lions basking on lava rocks, marine iguanas sunning themselves, and giant tortoises lumbering through their native habitat. Snorkeling sessions reveal a world of manta rays, sea turtles, and kaleidoscopic fish, while expert-led hikes introduce you to the islands’ dramatic volcanic landscapes—just as Charles Darwin did centuries ago.

This moderate-activity tour is tailored for those who crave a balance of active exploration—hiking, swimming, snorkeling—and comfortable cruising. The small group setting ensures personalized attention and camaraderie as you discover each day’s new wonders.

What sets this tour package apart is its opportunity for hands-on wildlife encounters, making it an unforgettable journey for anyone passionate about the natural world and eager to trace the footsteps of history’s greatest naturalists.
