Touring the Galapagos on a 6-day, 5-night Cruise

If you are looking for a balance of time on the islands and cost, a 6-day Galapagos cruise is an excellent choice. 8-day Galapagos cruises are the length of trip most frequently recommended by experts because they strike an excellent balance between the very short 4 and 5-day cruises and the much longer 15-day cruises, but six-day cruises cost about 25% less than an 8-day cruise and give you a similar experience, though depending on your itinerary, you may not get to experience the far western visitor spots on Fernandina and Isabela.

Why choose a 6-day Galapagos cruise?

• You will be able to visit about a dozen different visitor sites in Galapagos National Park and try all activities (snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, hiking, dinghy rides, etc).
• More visitor spots means more wildlife, more biodiversity, more varied ecosystems and landscapes.
• A good balance of completeness of your Galapagos experience and cost.
