Galapagos Tours

On any Galasam yacht, your day begins after breakfast when you go ashore in small boats, "pangas". The well marked paths will lead you to discover the most fascinating wildlife, from blue-footed boobies, iguanas, sea lions to the rate Galapagos penguins. All yachts carry snorkeling equipment and there is an opportunity to explore underwater daily. Returning to your yacht at midday, a delicious lunch awaits and perhaps a short "siesta." After dinner, the naturalist guide will offer a briefing of the next day's activities.

Since each island has its own unique landscape and diverse species of animal and plant life, every day is a new adventure.
Paradise Huts accommodates up to 36 people in six individual guest lodges; every lodge has three double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and shower.

For many travelers that go to Galapagos, yachts are the preferred way to see the islands, offering planned flexible itineraries with multilingual naturalist guides, licensed and trained at the Darwin Research Station.
Galasam offers various choices in accommodations aboard their four (4) yachts, custom designed for cruising the Galapagos.

Their 3 first class 16 passenger yacht feature air-conditioning, a spacious dining room, lounge area, full-service bar, private facilities and sun decks.
The 1 economy type yachts are ideal for passengers seeking an alternative to the more luxurious type ships, but without sacrificing comfort and privacy.

All Galasam yachts offer fine cuisine, ranging from international to local specialties in an atmosphere perfect for making new friends, while discovering nature at its best in your Galapagos Islands Tour & Cruise.
