Galapagos: Elite | 8 days luxury

Tour Overview

This is your gateway to experiencing the Galapagos Islands like never before — in style, privacy, and unparalleled comfort aboard the luxury catamaran Elite.

Led by passionate, expert naturalist guides, your journey reveals the breathtaking wonders of this living laboratory. Indulge in gourmet meals crafted onboard while soaking in sweeping ocean views from your private balcony and floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows — perfect for spotting sea turtles gliding alongside the boat or curious marine creatures at play.

Venture ashore to meet the legendary giant Galapagos tortoises in their wild habitat and marvel at the extraordinary birdlife: from the elegant red-footed boobies and Nazca boobies to the charismatic blue-footed boobies that captivate every visitor. Dive into vibrant underwater worlds where colorful reef fish, graceful rays, sea turtles, and playful sea lions welcome you beneath the waves.

Explore the islands in diverse ways—walk volcanic trails, stroll along pristine white and rare red sand beaches, or paddle through calm waters in a transparent kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Discover fascinating wildlife at every turn: marine iguanas basking on sun-warmed rocks, brilliant red Sally Lightfoot crabs scuttling over lava, flocks of flamingos in secluded lagoons, and the endearing Galapagos fur sea lions.

For those seeking a shorter escape, our Galapagos Elite | 5-Day Luxury Tour provides a refined introduction to this remarkable destination.
