OCEAN SPRAY CRUISE REVIEWS

Cruise rating: 4.7 /5 - 4 customer reviews

Veronica, Our apologies for you having to ask, for we had intended to send message immediately upon our return. We could not say enough positive things about the trip. Our experience on the Ocean Spray and at La Selva were fantastic!! The quality of the boat and the lodge, the food and, most importantly, the people were beyond expectation. We made new friends and 'family' at both. In Quito, we loved the hotels and the restaurants (Nuema, Urko, Zazu, Gangotena). As for GTC, we were extremely impressed with the level of service, warmth and concern delivered by all involved from your attention to detail and responsiveness to the service provided by the greeter and drivers. We recommended you to several people we met on the trip and will definitely recommend you as opportunities arise in the future. Our only regret was that we didn't plan more time for travel to others areas within Ecuador. We will be doing very positive postings on TripAdvisor for GTC and for all things at both areas visited. With all best regards Grant Godwin April 2015 4.7

Veronica , Wow what a trip !!!!! The Ocean Spray was a beautiful new comfortable boat great service, great food the tourists were from all over the world and we all enjoyed our trip of a lifetime, other then my safari in Kenya this was my best trip ever, primarily because I swam with sea turtles, dolphins, sting ray, sea lions and penguins thanks for all I saw your office in New Town Quito and I will happily refer you any interest tourists Nancy Noel October 2012 4.7

Dear Lilian, My friend and I are back in Australia now after a wonderful trip to Peru and the Galapagos Islands. Thank you very much for organizing all of this for us, flights, hotels and the Ocean Spray were a big success and everything went off as planned. We were picked up and helped all along the way. I am happy to pass on glorious reports about you and your company and I am happy to get back onto Trip Advisor to recommend you and your company to anyone travelling to the Galapagos. Many thanks and best wishes to you. Judy Bartnicki and Margaret Fricker June 2012 4.7

Hello Magus! Our holiday was excellent, thank you. Everything was very well organized - our taxi collections were prompt, staff excellent, loved Ocean Spray and the itinerary. Only thing I can think of, is that perhaps a bit more could have been arranged in the evening on the boat - perhaps cocktails one evening, films available, board games / cards etc. I would certainly recommend the Galapagos and your website. Thank you very much for all your help. Kind regards Helen Louise Randall April 2012 4.7

Reviews from this trip

The Ocean Spray was fabulous in every way. The crew, guide, food and the ship itself were wonderful.

Daniel on the Ocean Spray in the Galapagos was so knowledgeable, and his positive attitude made the experience so much fun.

Everyone on the Ocean Spray was wonderful. Couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to help with everything.

Our days on the Ocean Spray cruising the Galápagos were beyond any expectations I had. All crew members were warm and friendly. The accommodations, meals and activities were excellent. Our guide on the islands and while snorkeling, Morris Garcia, was just brilliant!

Our catamaran for the Galapagos tour was the Ocean Spray. It was excellent in every way! A very well-run operation!

The Ocean Spray was incredible. From what I can tell by reading and talking to locals, this is probably the best vessel in the area.

Isabela Island: Punta Vicente Roca // Fernandina Island: Espinoza Point

AM: This morning will take us to the largest landmass in the Galapagos archipelago: Isabela Island. With a surface of 1,770 sq. miles (4,588 sq. km.), the island constitutes more than the half of the land area of the entire Galapagos archipelago. Located at the “mouth” of the head of the seahorse which forms the northern part of Isabela Island is Punta Vicente Roca, an interesting rock formation. Here the remnants of an ancient volcano form two turquoise coves with a bay well-protected from the ocean swells. With a bit of luck, you can see penguins. Masked and Blue-footed boobies as well as pelicans sit perched along the point and the sheer cliffs, while flightless cormorants inhabit the shoreline.

PM: Next we will head for Fernandina Island, which is not only the westernmost island but also the youngest and most pristine island in the Galapagos. The 2005 eruption of La Cumbre Volcano created huge fields of lava. This eruption was followed on April 11, 2009, when the volcano flared up again, forming a cloud of ash and steam while hot lava flowed down the slopes of the volcano into the ocean.

A steep trail passes through an area of dry vegetation and volcanic landscapes with scalesia woods and cactuses.

PM: After lunch, we will visit Urbina Bay. As a result of an especially violent eruption of the Alcedo Volcano in 1954, large sections of the Isabela Island coast were suddenly pushed up about four meters high, making the coral reefs visible here. These reefs are covered with poison apple and muyuyo trees. You can also observe land iguanas and the rare mangrove finch up close. From January to June, land turtles occasionally visit the bay from their higher mountain living environments.

Isabela Island: Elizabeth Bay – Moreno Point

AM: Today we will head to the mangrove area of Elizabeth Bay and visit the small islands offshore.

There are two small agricultural communities here which grow the famous organic Galapagos coffee.

South Plaza Island // Baltra Airport

AM: Today we will explore South Plaza Island, located east of Santa Cruz Island. On this life-filled island, you will encounter colonies of sea lions and land iguanas; while on the steep banks you can see numbers of birds like nesting Tropicbirds and Fork-tailed seagulls. But most of all, you will enjoy the extremely pleasurable experience and beautiful view from atop the steep banks or strolling along the base of the cliff. Opuntia cactuses grow on this island and the vegetation changes color throughout the year.

PM: Afterwards, we will take a bus to the San Cristobal Island airport for your flight back to the mainland. Enjoy the last view of the “enchanted islands,” a unique paradise with fascinating natural highlights.

Baltra Island // Santa Fe Island

PM: Next we will visit Santa Fe Island, a small rocky island covered in small Palo Santo trees and 6-meter-high opuntia cactuses.

The El Chato tortoise reserve was founded in 1964 to allow visitors to observe the island’s huge Galapagos turtles and White herons in their natural habitat. You will also be able to walk through nearby underground lava tunnels formed during volcanic eruptions. As the outside of the lava hardened, the inside continued to flow to the ocean, creating these tunnels. Alternatively, Rancho Primicias is a great place to see about ten to fifteen Galapagos giant tortoises in the wild. In addition to being able to view the ocean from this location in the Highlands, you can walk through a lava cave that was formed by a volcanic eruption.

I was looking through the pictures of the Ocean Spray, and you can see they have a viewer telescope on the sun deck for you to get a closer look at the islands you sail by. This device is only found onboard the Ocean Spray.

Ocean Spray Itineraries explained

Onboard this luxurious catamaran, you will have six itineraries to choose from:

Ocean Spray 4-day B Itinerary

The  4-day B itinerary  visits San Cristobal island with its surrounding highlights which include:

• Kicker Rock: Great landscapes and better snorkeling
• Pitt Point: Beautiful trek and a chance to spot all 3 types of boobies
• Witch Hill: Pristine beach with tons of wildlife and a chance to kayak

You will also visit Floreana Island which is one of my favorite islands in the Galapagos. Here you get to learn a bit about Galapagos History and you will go snorkeling at the Devil´s Crown – the best snorkeling site in the Galapagos Islands.

Ocean Spray 5-day B Itinerary

The  5-day B itinerary  will take you on a tour of the NorthCentral Islands. On this itinerary, you will make a stop at Bartholomew island, here you can catch the perfect view of Pinnacle Rock, and take the quintessential picture of the Galapagos Islands. You will also make your way to Genovesa Island (aka ¨bird island¨) for a fantastic short Galapagos cruise experience.

Ocean Spray 6-day A&B Itineraries

The 6-day A itinerary is a shorter version of the week-long A itinerary, its a good option for travelers that want to visit the Western Islands of the Galapagos archipelago but don’t have a full week to spare. The 6-day B itinerary is a longer version of the 4-day B itinerary which adds Española island. I’ve always thought that 4 and 5 day itineraries were too short and 8-day itineraries a bit too long, so having two 6-day options is great IMHO.

Ocean Spray 8-day B Itinerary

The  8- day B itinerary  combines both the 4 and 5-day itineraries into one week-long itinerary visiting plenty of Galapagos highlights.

Ocean Spray 8-day A Itinerary

The  8- day A itinerary  visits the sought after Western Islands in style! You get to visit Isabela and Fernandina islands, where you will find abundant wildlife and a guaranteed superb experience. On top of all this, you finish your Galapagos journey with a visit to Española island where you get to swim with sea lions and if you are lucky you will get a chance to watch the albatross taking off a cliff…truly magnificent!

Connoisseur Tip: 

After analyzing all six itineraries aboard the Ocean Spray, I can easily say that the very best itinerary they have is the week-long A itinerary. I have not seen any other itinerary that includes the Western Islands of Isabela and Fernandina, but still provides a visit to the other Galapagos icon – Española Island. Highly recommended!

If you don’t have a week to spend in the Galapagos, a 6-day itinerary will provide a great and complete experience in the archipelago.

Come aboard and feel the Galapagos Ocean Spray, truly an unparalleled experience!

• Quito & Guayaquil Galapagos Travel Package

This trip exceeded our expectations.  This was an exceptional experience. The ship was spacious and comfortable.

The cabin was very clean.  The staff made every effort to make us comfortable.  The dining areas were very nice.  We had two meals in the outdoor dining area during the trip.  The ship was spacious and comfortable.

The chef had a wonderful variety, and most dinners included two choices of entree.  The food was healthful and beautifully presented, with nice portion sizes.  We were very impressed!  Coffee, tea, and little snacks were always availa

Our guide, Morris, was extremely knowledgeable and had an obvious passion for the Galapagos.  He kept briefings informative and interesting.  He was able to point out so much wildlife and give us so much information.  He had a delightful sense of humor.  We were glad he encouraged us to do a few of the hikes early in the morning before breakfast to avoid the heat.

Aaron gave us all of the information that we needed, and he was easily reachable by phone or email during the week.

Go on a smaller vessel. Ours had 16 guests, which was a great size.  Only so many people can fit in a panga, and it is nice to have a small group on hikes and snorkeling activities.

3, 4, and 7-night Cruises

Embarking and disembarking days: sunday | tuesday | thursday, day by day itinerary description.

Ocean Spray 7-Night Cruise

Day 1 saturday.

Saturday: AM:  Arrival to Baltra Island Airport, reception and transfer to the yacht for the first visit.

Welcome to the incredible Galapagos Islands and your luxury catamaran, the M/C Ocean Spray! Upon arrival onboard the vessel, your guide and crew members will greet you and take you to your accommodations. After freshening up, a short briefing will be given on health, safety and emergency protocols, and you will be given a description of normal routines and different areas aboard the M/C Ocean Spray.

Saturday: PM visit: Chinese Hat

Named after its distinctive shape, this visitor site will give you your first opportunity at an intimate encounter with Galapagos wildlife. You’ll also be able to see well-preserved, fragile volcanic rock that’s unlike anything you’ve seen before in other volcanic locations. This islet is home to many different Galapagos bird species, including the playful Galapagos penguins and the elusive Galapagos Hawks.

Day 2 Sunday

Sunday: AM visit:  Isabela Island – Vicente Roca Point

Vicente Roca Point hosts incredible rock formations that are home to many different bird species. As the visitor site is found on the western side of Isabela, the cool azure waters of the nutrient-laden Cromwell Current are the scene of fascinating feeding frenzies of both bird species and underwater mammals.

Sunday: PM Visit: Fernandina Island – Espinosa Point

Fernandina Island is unique in that it is the youngest island in the archipelago and also one of the most pristine – in fact, it has never been invaded by foreign species. As the westernmost island in the Galapagos, it is also more volcanically active than its siblings. Espinosa Point is the only visitor point on Fernandina, but there’s lots to see here, including Galapagos Hawks, marine iguanas and the endemic flightless cormorant. Enjoy the sweeping views of the otherworldly landscape while hiking, and revel

Day 3 Monday

Tagus Cove is one of the Galapagos’ most intriguing visitor sites due to its human history. As one of the preferred pit stops of pirates, sailors and whalers for hundreds of years, guests love reading the interesting names and places etched into the cove’s walls. The hike here will give you panoramic views of the cove and its surroundings, and it will take you past a mangrove forest where the last 35 pairs of Mangrove finches live. You can snorkel off of the cove’s beach – there’s a good chance you’ll see a marine iguana diving for food!

Monday: PM Visit:  Isabela Island – Urbina Bay

Urbina Bay, lying on the ocean floor for millions of years, is a volcanic uplift that is now home to land and marine iguanas, boisterous sea lions, and the fascinating flightless cormorant. The bay is a great place to relax on the beach or snorkel in its waters, and there are a couple of hiking trails around Urbina Bay that will give you a better view of different species of shorebirds living near the water.

Day 4 Tuesday

Tuesday: AM Visit:  Isabela Island – Elizabeth Bay

Guests cannot disembark at Elizabeth Bay. due to the area’s fragile ecosystem. However, the bay’s startlingly clear waters allow visitors to see a wide variety and abundance of marine life from the Zodiacs, including Galapagos sharks and enormous sea turtles.

Tuesday: PM visit:  Isabela Island – Moreno Point

The otherworldly rocky shoreline of Moreno Point is home to dozens of different bird species, making this a particularly special visitor point for birdwatchers. You can hike into some saltwater lagoons just off of the beach, which are home to more unique bird species. The jet-black lava flows with the deep blue waters, the bright green vegetation surrounding the lagoons, and the towering Sierra Negra and Cerro Azul volcanoes off in the distance make Moreno Point a particularly stunning, picturesque visitor point.

Day 5 Wednesday

Wednesday: AM Visit:  Santa Cruz Island – Charles Darwin Research Station

The Charles Darwin Research Station is a fascinating place to visit for anyone stepping foot on the islands, given its long history of conservation in the archipelago and its extensive collection of Galapagos plant specimens and other interesting things – like a full whale skeleton! It also acts as an active breeding center for Galapagos Giant Tortoises, and continues to be a biological research station to this day, managing multiple projects throughout the archipelago.

Wednesday: PM Visit:  Santa Cruz Island – Highlands

The highlands on Santa Cruz Island can reach up to 1,500 meters above sea level, which produces entirely different climate zones. The area is filled with rolling hills, verdant growth, wildlife, and volcanos. Galapagos Giant Tortoises can be found here in their native environment, and guests can see finches, mockingbirds, and several other bird species. The highlands also have incredible panoramic views of the surrounding oceans, and guests can sometimes see whales breaching or rays jumping above the waves.

Day 6 Thursday

South Plaza Island is home to one of the archipelago’s smallest visitor sites, but it is also home to a large number of plant and wildlife species. It especially has a lot of Sesuvium plants, such as the prickly pear cactus tree, which is a critical food source for the land iguana. Having recently eradicated the local (imported) mice population, the land iguana population has grown steadily. The jet-black lava set against the crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounding South Plaza Island make it a favorite for photography lovers.

Thursday: PM visit:  Santa Fe Island

The endemic pink land iguana lives one a single small island on the planet – and this is it! Santa Fe Island, home to the renowned Santa Fe Iguana, was originally created by a volcanic uplift. Today, it is home to a forest of Palo Santo and Opuntia trees. There are two trails on Santa Fe Island: one leads to a viewpoint overlooking the island and the surrounding ocean, and the other leads down to a small beach. This island once had its own population of Giant Tortoises, which was also unique to the island, but they were entirely wiped out by centuries of overhunting.

Day 7 Friday

Española Island is home to many incredible species and geological features, making it one of the favorite visitor sites in the entire archipelago. Suarez Point is home to only breeding site for Waved Albatrosses in the Galapagos, and if you´re lucky you´ll get the chance to see a young albatross take its first flight off to sea, where it will remain for up to five years! The waters surrounding Española Island are incredibly rich in nutrients, so visitors can often see sea lions, marine iguanas, and even sharks swimming in the surrounding waters. Other than the Waved Albatross, there are many other bird species that make Española their home, including Nazca and blue-footed boobies, red-billed tropic birds, swallow-tailed gulls, and Galapagos Doves, among others.

Friday: AM Visit:  Española Island – Gardner Bay / Osborn Islet

Gardner Bay is home to a noisy colony of sea lions that enjoy playing in the clear turquoise waters surrounding it. There are several different finch species here, as well as the endemic Española mockingbird, which is well-known for being very friendly with guests! However, visitors must take care to not feed or touch the wildlife, including the friendly ones.

Day 8 Saturday

Saturday: AM Visit: San Cristobal – Interpretation Center

The Interpretation Center has been open to the public for over twenty years, and offers visitors an insight into the history of the Galapagos archipelago and Giant Tortoise breeding practices. San Cristobal, the easternmost island, is also the first island that Charles Darwin set foot on, and is currently home to the provincial capital and the Ecuadorian navy. Giant tortoises that are bred in captivity roam in a semi-natural habitat in the area surrounding the center.

Transfer to the San Cristobal Airport

On the last day of your cruise, the only visit you have is to the Interpretation Center. Afterwards, you´ll board the M/C Ocean Spray to gather your belongings and freshen up for your transfer to the airport.

Saturday: PM Visit: San Cristobal Island – Lobos Island/Kicker Rock

Lobos Island is home to a large colony of boisterous sea lions who love to bask in the warm rays of sunshine and play along the island’s rock shores. It is also home to several different bird species, including frigatebirds, pelicans, and yellow warblers, among others. There is a small channel that runs along the island where the waters are very clear, making it easy to spot huge sea turtles, furtive rays, and even white-tipped sharks!

Kicker Rock is one of the archipelago’s most iconic visitor sites. It consists of two eroded volcanic cones that rise more than 100 meters from the waves in the middle of the open water. It is one of the Galapagos’ most renowned diving sites, and visitors can often see colorful underwater species from the deck of the M/C Ocean Spray.

Pitt Point is truly an “otherworldly” visitor point – it feels like you have stepped out onto another planet! The hike up to the top of the hill provides visitors with sweeping panoramic views of the island and the surrounding ocean, and the trail expertly curves around blue-footed booby nests on the ground. Toward the top of the island, visitors can see red-footed boobies nesting in the low trees, giving you up-close encounters with both incredible species.

Sunday: PM Visit: San Cristobal Island – Witches Hill

Witches Hill has several deep crevices and eroding rocks along the shore where different shore birds nest and feed. Visitors will be able to get close to them on the Zodiac ride, which is often accompanied by friendly sea lions and different kinds of tropical fish visible in the clear waters along the shoreline. Afterward, you’ll disembark on a powdery white-sand beach where you can swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Post Office Bay is one of the archipelago’s most fascinating visitor points due to its human history. Centuries ago, sailors set up a barrel here where they would leave letters to loved ones back home. Other ships would also stop by and look through the addresses on the letters, and take the ones that were addressed to their own destinations – and the first Galapagos mail service was born! Today, the tradition lives on – you can leave a complementary postcard addressed to someone anywhere in the world, and someday a fellow traveler might take it with them and mail it!

Monday: PM Visit: : Floreana Island – Cormorant Point / Devil’s Crown

Cormorant Point is home to two different beaches, and there is a saltwater lagoon just a short walk beyond one of them that is a nesting site for flamingos. Ones of the beaches looks green because of its extraordinarily high content of small olivine crystals, while the other is known as Flour Beach due to its powdery white sand made of pulverized white coral. Visitors can sometimes see rays meandering along the shoreline, as well as different kinds of tropical fish.

Devil’s Crown hosts one of the archipelago’s best snorkeling sites, where snorkelers can see, just below the surface, several incredible volcanic structures that have submerged over the centuries. Today, they are home to countless colorful fish species, as well as sharks, rays, sea turtles, sea lions, and starfish, among many others!

Located along the northern side of Santa Cruz Island, Black Turtle Cove is a shallow inlet surrounded by mangroves that provide natural protection for several juvenile marine species. Just under the calm waters of the cove, visitors can see majestic sea turtles, different kinds of rays, and both white-tip and black-tip reef sharks. Blue-footed boobies and pelicans both enjoy hunting in these nutrient-rich waters, and can often be seen dive-bombing into the water.

Tuesday: PM Visit:  Bartholomew Island – Pinnacle Rock

The most iconic geographical feature of the Galapagos Islands is, unquestionably, Pinnacle Rock. A volcanic cone that formed by magma forcefully expelled by an underwater volcano, the sea instantly cooled the lava as it exploded upward, forming an enormous rock rising out of the sea. Today, there is a small beach around the rock where green sea turtles nest during breeding season. It is also a gathering point for fun-loving Galapagos penguins who love to dive into the water from the base of Pinnacle Rock and splash around in its azure waters. Not to be outdone, Pinnacle Rock is frequented by curious sea lions and many kinds of tropical fish.

Darwin Bay used to be a shield volcano, but one of the sides of its caldera collapsed after centuries of erosion. The bay is well-known for the sheer number and variety of birds that can been found here – in fact, over 20,000 red-footed boobies are estimated to call this island home, nesting among the trees and bushes of Genovesa Island. You will also fine Nazca and blue-footed boobies Darwin finches, and lots of marine life, including marine iguanas, rays, and sea lions.

Wednesday: PM Visit: Genovesa Island – El Barranco

El Barranco, also known as Prince Phillip’s Steps, is a visitor site at the top of a cliff, rewarding visitors with an incredible panoramic view of the area. There is also a Palo Santo forest nearby, which is a nesting spot for red-footed boobies and other shorebirds.

Santiago Island is the second island in the archipelago that Charles Darwin set foot on, and Buccaneer Cove, once a refuge for passing pirates, sailors and whalers, is an excellent place to snorkel and swim. There are beautiful underwater formations that are home to many marine species, especially large schools of colorful tropical fish.

Thursday AM Visit: Santiago Island – Egas Port

Egas Port, also known as James Bay, is home to quick-footed Galapagos lava lizards and lounging marine iguanas. The grottos and tide pools surrounding the bay hide all kinds of different marine species, and it’s always exciting to see what you can find! This is also one of the best places to go snorkeling in the entire Galapagos.

Friday AM Visit: North Seymour Island

Named after English nobleman Lord Hugh Seymour, this island was formed by uplifted submarine lava. Home to more than 2,500 land iguanas and large populations of sea lions, blue-footed boobies, and other bird species, North Seymour Island is also frequented by many different shark species, which can sometimes be seen from the Zodiac or from the M/C Ocean Spray itself.

Friday: PM Visit: Santa Cruz Island – Highlands / Charles Darwin Research Station

On the highlands of Santa Cruz, you’ll have the opportunity to see the famous giant tortoises in the wild. So renowned are these endemic animals that they gave the archipelago its name. Birdwatching is also one of the activities do to in the Santa Cruz highlands, since this area is home of finches and other Galapagos birds.

After the visit to the highlands, we continue on to a visit of the famous Charles Darwin Research Station that provides guests with a unique opportunity to find out about the vital work that is being carried out to preserve the archipelago’s ecosystems.

The Research Center is also home to a significant breeding program for Galapagos tortoises, whose numbers have been in decline since the 1970’s.

These captivating reptiles are very accustomed to humans, so be sure to bring your camera for some close-ups.

Mosquera Islet is located between North Seymour Island and Baltra, which is just off the northern coast of Santa Cruz Island. The islet is home to a reef of rocks and coral resulting from a volcanic uprising, as well as a long, white-sand beach. The narrowest part of the islet is only 160 meters wide, and it is mostly surrounded by black lava rocks; however, on the southwest side of Mosquera there is a landing point. Despite its small size, Mosquera Islet is home to one of the Galapagos’ largest colonies of sea lions, and there are several species of shorebirds that make it their home, too. Given the large number of sea lions present, visitors can see orca whales periodically throughout the year who come to feed on them.

Transfer to Baltra Airport

On the last day of your cruise, the only visit you have is to Mosquera Islet. Afterwards, you´ll board the M/C Ocean Spray to gather your belongings and freshen up for your transfer to the airport.

Check out our itinerary below and you can immediately see the Galapagos Unbound difference. We pioneered Galapagos land tours and have consistently advocated for environmentally low-impact travel through these utterly enchanting "enchanted isles."

Trip Overview

This Galapagos Unbound tour was featured in the New York Times travel section on January 8, 2006, in an article by Tim Neville. While some details of the original itinerary have been modified since then, the tour's essence as an unparalleled multisport adventure in the Galapagos remains unchanged. Our certified local guides continue to work closely with the Galapagos Park Service to deliver an exceptional experience.

Immerse yourself in the diverse wildlife and ecosystems of the Galapagos Islands with our Galapagos Unbound Signature Tour. This unique Galapagos small group tour takes you beyond the typical cruise to snorkel, hike, and kayak alongside iconic species while supporting the local community. Experience an intimate, eco-conscious journey through the archipelago's unique islands and habitats on an adventure you’ll never forget.

No words can fully convey the awe of getting up close with birds and animals that show little fear of humans. On a Galapagos Islands vacation, you can swim with playful sea lions, stand within feet of vibrant blue-footed boobies, and see marine iguanas and giant tortoises found only here. The wonders of the Galapagos are truly indescribable.

This Galapagos land tour combines gentle paddles to remote coves with nights spent camping on pristine beaches - an experience that is one-of-a-kind. You’ll hike to the rim of an active volcano, come face-to-face with marine life while snorkeling, and experience awe-inspiring sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.  We trek and kayak to secluded sites inaccessible to larger groups, encountering wildlife and embracing the journey itself. As the only Galapagos land-based travel experience that includes camping on deserted beaches, Galapagos Unbound provides a distinctive experience.

This Galapagos active trip is also one of the most sustainable eco-tours in the archipelago, offering a minimally impactful experience that supports both the islands' environment and local communities. Compared to a cruise, this trip has a smaller carbon footprint by using far less fuel per person. More of the fees from your Galapagos Islands holiday will go directly to islanders, bringing them greater economic benefits. Uniquely, the trip includes camping on an approved island beach using ultra-low-impact techniques that exceed "Leave No Trace" standards.

After lunch on board the boat, we'll sail on to El Finado, a peaceful inlet where you can snorkel with white-tip reef sharks and colorful tropical fish. If weather allows, we'll cap off the day with a beachfront barbecue in the evening.

Santa Cruz Island + Giant Tortoises + Lava Tunnels

After an early departure by speedboat, we will visit Santa Cruz's Darwin Research Station and take a scenic drive through the lush highlands. During a leisurely walk, you can observe giant Galapagos tortoises in their natural habitat as they feast on vegetation. Next, we will explore ancient lava tunnels that reveal the geological history of the island. 

For dinner, you can select a restaurant of your choice in town. 

ACCOMMODATION : Santa Cruz Hotel

MEALS INCLUDED : Breakfast, Lunch

Tortuga Bay + Santa Cruz Island

This morning we'll embark on a scenic two-mile hike from Puerto Ayora to Tortuga Bay, passing prickly pear cacti and palo santo trees along the trail. At Tortuga Bay, we'll have time to unwind on the beach before paddling to a calm cove perfect for snorkeling. 

In the afternoon, we'll kayak through a series of peaceful lagoons, home to rays and sharks. To conclude our Galapagos Islands tour, this evening we'll gather for a farewell dinner together.

Return to Guayaquil

This morning, you’ll be transferred to the airport on Santa Cruz Island to catch your return flight to Guayaquil. From Guayaquil airport, you can transfer to the international terminal for your flight home, marking the end of an incredible trip to the Galapagos Islands.

Tiered Pricing Explained

Our trips are budgeted for full or near full sign-ups which enables us to offer trips at the lowest possible price. Because of numerous fixed costs, it is more expensive to operate a trip for a small group. Therefore, on some of our trips, in order to avoid having to cancel a trip, we have a “tier-pricing” system to avoid canceling a trip with a low number of sign ups. We have found that most people also prefer this alternative to having a trip cancelled. Thus, you will note on our trip prices there may be different price for 6-8 people versus 9-10, versus 11-12. We may initially invoice you at the higher tier price, and refund the difference depending on the final group size. Trip costs quoted are based on foreign exchange rates current at the time of this printing. We reserve the right to raise the trip fee if there are exceptional cost increases beyond our control.  Prices are based on double occupancy.  If desired, we will strive to pair you up with another single guest to elimate the single supplement fee however, please note that this is not always possible.

Faq & more, where are the galapagos islands located.

The Galapagos Islands (or Archipelago de Colon) are a Province of Ecuador located about 500 miles (800 kilometers) west of the Ecuadorian coast and are located directly on the equator.

What is the weather like?

Visit this page for a month-to-month detail on weather. Because the Galapagos Islands are on the equator, it’s warm most of the year. The warmest season is usually January to April and average temperatures range from a low of 70F/22C to around of 84F/31C. This is also the “wet season” and there may be afternoon thundershowers. During a severe El Nino year, it’s more likely to rain at any time of day. April to December is considered the “dry season” and is cooler, with average temperatures ranging from around 68F/19C to 82F/27C. At this time of year it is not uncommon to have the "garua" (misty rain) early in the morning and in the highlands of Santa Cruz and San Cristobal. Our experience is that the time of year doesn’t make a lot of difference in terms of the amount of rain as there isn’t enough to impact your trip too much.

When is the best time to visit the Galapagos Islands?

Whenever your schedule allows! Because it’s on the equator, air temperatures don’t change a lot. However water temperature does fluctuate as much as ten degrees during the year. The cooler Humboldt Current comes up from Antarctica from May to September/October and the sea is cooler and tends to be rougher at this time of year. Cooler water temperatures mean you generally see more sea life because there is more food for the animals that depend on the planktons and other sea nourishment. From November to April, the cooler Panama Current flows from the north and brings warmer water. The sea tends to be calmer at this time of year. If you’re going on our land-based tour then rough water is less of a concern. If you’re doing a cruise, and you are prone to seasickness, you might want to consider coming in the November to April time frame. Check out further recommendations on when to go here.  

For a month to month comparison of temperatures and wildlife activity check out the Galapagos Calendar.

When should I arrive to Ecuador? When should I depart?

On this tour, you should arrive on day one of the itinerary. This is included as a travel day to ensure all guests in the group are checked in and ready for the tour of Quito on day two. On the final day, you should expect to arrive back to Quito around 4 p.m. Taking into account the minimum-three-hours check-in required for international flights, you shouldn't plan to depart anytime before 7 p.m. Many guests opt to stay over and fly out the next morning. 

What is the altitude in Quito?

The capital city of Quito sits at about 2,850 meters, or 9,350 feet. When spending time exploring the city, some guests do experience mild sensitivity. Arriving a day or two early for acclimation is a great idea if you are afraid you might have issues. Some ways to avoid becoming ill are to drink plenty of water (more than you would normally think to), taking frequent breaks when walking and keeping a slower pace. 

What is the best way to get to the Galapagos Islands?

From the U.S. and Canada there are daily flights via Houston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York and Miami, to Quito, Ecuador.

Do you arrange international air to Ecuador?

We do not arrange international air travel but we do have a great air travel specialist we refer you to if you’d like.

Do you take care of our ticketing for air travel within Ecuador?

Yes, all Domestic flights between mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands will be included on your invoice. We will make the arrangements in conjunction with our partners in Ecuador.  Flights to the Galapagos Islands depart several times daily from both Quito and Guayaquil aboard Boeing 737’s or Airbus 320’s or similar.

Will we have to exchange any money before we travel to Ecuador or once in the country?

Ecuador uses the US dollar which was adopted as the official currency in 2000. Be sure to bring cash bills in good condition because bills with markings or tears won’t be accepted. There are also ATM machines in the larger towns. It’s also a good idea to alert your bank that you’ll be traveling to Ecuador so they don’t stop the transactions.

Are you able to arrange extensions to our Galapagos tour?

We have been running trips in Ecuador since 1992 and know the country well. We have plenty of ideas for extending your trip whether it be to the Amazon, the Cloud Forest, the highlands in the north or south, or whatever might be your special interest. We can also arrange extensions to Peru and Machu Picchu.

How far in advance should I book?

There are a lot of arrangements to be made for a custom trip like our Unbound Signature active adventure. It’s very helpful with our planning if you book four to 12 months in advance. However, if you can’t plan that far ahead, then it’s usually not a problem to book up to about two months in advance. If you find yourself looking for last-minute space just call us and check!

What do I need to bring to snorkel and what is the experience like?

The Galapagos is surely one of the best places in the world to snorkel. The flourishing ocean life is an ecological treasure, and one of the main draws to the archipelago. You will have multiple chances to snorkel, sometimes at multiple locations in a day. We do recommend you try snorkeling ahead of time for your trip to get the most out of your experience, if you have never done so. Wetsuits aren’t strictly necessary, but “shorty” wetsuits (knees to elbows) of about 2mm are recommended to keep out any chill. We have full snorkel gear available to use including wetsuits.

What equipment or gear do I need to bring?

We provide all of the kayaking and camping equipment, while you need to simply bring your clothing and personal gear. We also provide wetsuits and snorkeling gear for your convenience, or your may bring your own. We send a complete list with items to bring such as paddling gloves, a water bottle, flash light, etc. We suggest traveling “light” for this adventure. 

Is it possible to go scuba diving in the Galapagos?

We recommend if you'd like to enjoy some scuba diving, that you stay on the islands for an extra day or two. This can easily be arranged at an additional cost. Please note that most diving locations in the Galapagos are very technical and often require certification in addition to significant experience. 

How does this trip compare to the Galapagos Island Explorer tour?

Both trips are ten days in length. This itinerary offers time spent on three islands, rather than the four seen on the Galapagos Island Explorer tour. This tour offers camping on the beach, while the other does not. The Galapagos Island Explorer does offer more frequent departures than the Signature tour. Both tours offer plenty of time spent snorkeling, kayaking and wildlife-viewing. 

How does this trip compare to the Galapagos by Kayak tour?

These are the only two tours to offer beach camping, however there are only two nights camping on the Unbound Signature tour. The Galapagos by Kayak tour is shorter at nine days in length, and visits two islands rather than three. It does include the most amount of paddling and camping, and is geared more toward kayak enthusiasts in particular. The Unbound Signature tour is a broader multi-sport tour, perfect for families with children. 

Will the tour guide speak English?

Yes. Spanish is the official language of Ecuador and the Galapagos but all tour guides are bilingual and speak english.

Will my credit card work in Ecuador?

Yes, most major credit and debit cards are accepted in Ecuador. There are plenty of ATM’s to use if you prefer to purchase things with cash as well.

What is the camping like on this tour?

We provide all necessary camping equiptment to ensure quality and comfort. At our exclusive oceanfront camp, we have roomy tents that accommodate standing up. The tents are equipped with cots, sleeping pags, sheets, pillows, and a small lantern. There is plenty of space for your luggage to accomodate you in your tent as well. While you are out enjoying the Galapagos Islands during the day, your tents will be cleaned so you return to a comfortable and inviting space at the end of the day.

If you are looking to rinse off after a long day in the water, there will be a desginated shower tent set up by your guides.
