Itineraries

Galapagos yachts all operate on a 14 day (2 week) circuit. This circuit is broken into shorter itineraries which can be combined; cruises can be as short as 4 days and as long as 15 days.

Starting or ending days are highlighted in the 15 day itinerary (day 1 and day 15 have the same activities); passengers arriving on these days will do the afternoon activity and passengers departing on these days will do the morning activity.

The Encantada offers itineraries of 5 and 6 days, which can be combined for cruises of up to 15 days. 5 and 6 day itineraries can also be combined with either 2 or 3 day land tour additions OR 2 or 3 days of diving aboard the Eclipse diving yacht, owned by the operators of the Encantada (See our Diving section for diving options with the Eclipse).

All itineraries listed below are subject to change or modification due to park regulations, airport restrictions, weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond the control of Eos or the yacht operators. They are listed as a service to provide general information as to which places in the Galapagos are typically visited by each yacht cruise.
