Galapagos Explorer II 8 Day Itinerary A: (click on map to enlarge)

Galapagos Explorer II 5 Day Itinerary B:

Galapagos Explorer II 4 Day Itinerary C:

Galapagos yachts all operate on a 14 day (2 week) circuit. This circuit is broken into shorter itineraries which can be combined; depending on the yacht, 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 to the Galapagos Islands on these days will do the afternoon activity and passengers departing on these days will do the morning activity.

The Galapagos Explorer II offers cruises of 8 days, 7 days, 5 days and 4 days. Itinerary A can be taken for 7 days with passengers departing on day 7. The 5 day and 4 day itineraries can be combined for a different 8 day itinerary. All three itineraries can be combined to form a complete circuit of 15 days. One 8 day itinerary includes the southern and western area of the Galapagos, including Isabela and Fernandina, and the other (4 day plus 5 day) visits the eastern and central portion of the islands.

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.
