Cruises in the Galapagos Islands

Spotting nesting blue-footed boobies, snorkelling among vivid shoals of tropical fish, relaxing aboard a luxurious, eco-conscious ship… On a tailor-made cruise in the Galapagos with Audley, you’ll see the highlights — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Galapagos cruise specialists know the region inside out and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook.

Paddle out on a kayak in search of sea turtles. Visit a giant tortoise breeding station and meet some of the world’s oldest animals. Come face to face with marine iguanas resting on black lava rock formations. Look out for waved albatrosses performing intricate mating dances on Española Island, and bottlenose dolphins as they race alongside your vessel. Listen to talks by naturalists and soak in a Jacuzzi on deck.

Identifying endemic wildlife with the help of expert guides. Strolling beaches thronging with Galapagos sea lions. Exploring islands only accessible by water… What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go.
