Luxury Galapagos Tours and Cruises
Incredible, up-close wildlife encounters in the Galapagos - a 'little world within itself'
Surely one of the most amazing places on Earth, the Galapagos Islands are perhaps the only place in the world where you can see wildlife so close up. The lack of large predators on the island group (which sits 600 miles from the Ecuadorian mainland) means that its iconic wildlife – giant tortoises, vibrant birdlife, inquisitive sea lions and so much more – are fearless of humans. There’s plenty to do on a visit to the islands, such as:
- Snorkelling among the green sea turtles and sea lions
- Hiking around the Sierra Negra Volcano
- Visiting the Giant Tortoise Breeding Centre
- Kayaking around Divine Bay
- Diving with gentle sharks
Whether you’re planning a honeymoon aboard an intimate catamaran, want to explore from the base of a luxury lodge or safari style camp, are looking to join an expertly staffed larger ship or embarking on an exclusive adventure on a fully private large charter, we’ll create the perfect trip for you. Our Latin America experts can talk you through the options to make sure you find the yacht or hotel that best suits your needs.
The Galapagos Islands are my favorite destination in Latin America. Walking among giant tortoises in the highlands surrounded by mist and fog, snorkeling with sharks just meters from you in the deep waters, swimming with playful baby sea lions off sandy beaches and slowly picking out a path through the large groups of marine iguanas on nature walks. There’s nowhere else like it on earth!

I had a slight hiccup in the trip and the Jacada team immediately jumped in and obtained a great resolution.
Our trip to Botswana was our 2nd trip done through Jacada and it was as well planned and full of excitement as our trip to Ecuador/Galapagos. All the lodges we stayed at were awesome and all the transfers between them were very smooth. Jody and Angela at Jacada were always very helpful and responsive in the planning stages and got…
Jacada exceeded our expectations at every point. Logistics, hotels, local guides. Everything went smoothly. I will be a repeat customer and recommend the firm highly. Thanks David and Berni!
Lily Bunker has planned 2 amazing trips for us this year - one to Costs Rica and one to Peru, Ecuador and Galápagos Islands.

I highly recommend using Jacada Travel when booking your vacation.
