We’re delighted to have you on board for this journey of discovery to some of the most beautiful islands in the Galapagos. Our itinerary together begins on Baltra Island, a former military base during World War II, and now an Ecuadorian naval and air force station. Once all formalities are completed, we venture east along the volcanic shores of North Seymour and Santa Cruz Islands, until we reach the Plazas Islands. Our adventures start with a dry landing at a manmade jetty on South Plaza Island. During the next day, we will explore Santa Fe Island and San Cristobal Island, home to the provincial capital of the Galapagos province. Then, we sail south to Española Island, with its remarkable visitor site (a favourite of many visitors): Punta Suarez. Here, we’ll wander along the rugged coastline, home to hundreds of marine iguanas, sea lions, marine birds, and even albatross (during much of the year).

A once in a lifetime experience both on the trails and onboard! Cruising the Galapagos islands is an unforgettable experience because of its unique and close encounters with its amazing wildlife. Experiencing the Galapagos Islands on a small 20 passenger yacht is an added value that will make your cruise unforgettable. In a more intimate setting, you will be sharing your Galapagos adventure with few other guests that share the same belief that cruising on a small cruise boat has less impact on the Galapagos ecosystem while benefiting from a more personalized service. Our 11 crew members will go above and beyond to make your experience of the Galapagos unforgettable. Our naturalist guide/passenger ratio is amongst the best in the Galapagos with 1 guide for every 10 passengers. Through our commitment to personalized service and attention to detail, Monserrat Galapagos Cruises aims to create the perfect setting for an unforgettable experience on the enchanted islands.
