Embark on a Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventure With Columbus Travel: Travel to the Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands are an exciting destination for both seasoned and new travelers, thanks to its native wildlife, pristine beaches, and astonishing landscapes, among many others. 

If you want to get the most out of your trip, visit the more remote islands, and experience the most of the archipelago’s beauty, going on a cruise might just be perfect for your travel goals. Galapagos cruises are available in various packages, so you’re sure to find one that suits your preferences, whether you’re planning an exciting family vacation or a romantic getaway with your special someone. 

At Columbus Travel, we offer unforgettable and highly personalized experiences. Here are some things you can expect to experience as you travel to the Galapagos Islands in one of our luxury cruises. 

What To Expect in Your Luxury Galapagos Cruise

Visit Numerous Islands in One Trip 

When traveling to the Galapagos Islands, you’ll want to make the most of your trip by visiting as many islands as possible. Every island boasts different wildlife species, pristine waters, and landscapes to enjoy. 

However, going on day trips and returning to the shore every night may not give you enough time to see as many sights as possible. On the contrary, a Galapagos Islands cruise keeps you close to the archipelago’s must-see destinations, saving you time and energy along the way.  

Take in Preserved Ecosystems  

The Galapagos Islands are the first World Heritage Site named by UNESCO, and most of the archipelago is designated as a strictly regulated national park. There are also laws and tourism restrictions protecting the islands’ ecosystems. 

With this, you can look forward to witnessing unspoiled and carefully preserved forests, picturesque beaches, and volcanic lava tubes. Some even argue that the Galapagos Islands tourists enjoy today may be close to what Charles Darwin may have seen when he first visited the archipelago around 200 years ago. 

Witness Stunning Views 

Once you’re out exploring the Galapagos Islands on your luxury cruise, you’ll realize that the archipelago has no shortage of scenic views. Some noteworthy destinations include Gardner Bay on Española Island, Kicker Rock, and Pinnacle Rock in the Bartolomé islet.  

Get Up Close and Personal With Marine Wildlife 

While the Caribbean and Australian coast are incredible snorkeling destinations, the nutrient-rich, pristine waters of the Galapagos Islands simply take the water activity up a whole notch. 

Thanks to the abundance of phytoplankton, the archipelago has become a home to thriving and diverse marine wildlife. Add its clear waters, and you’ll see an exciting array of colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, rays, and sharks. You may also witness Galapagos fur seals gracefully gliding through the ocean and, if you’re lucky, a Galapagos penguin swimming with you! 

Get on One of the World’s Best Cruises 

If you’re looking for an adventure to cherish forever, there’s no need to look further. The archipelago is regarded as one of the best cruise destinations in the world, and exploring its major islands on a luxury cruise is a beautiful way to make lasting memories with your friends or loved ones. 

In addition to this, Galapagos cruises are practical, too. As most wildlife-rich islands have little to no accommodation, a small-ship cruise is your best bet to save time and maximize your travel to the Galapagos as much as possible.
