About this trip
This nine-day cruise takes you through the Galapagos aboard the Alya, a small luxury catamaran carrying just 16 passengers. Days are built around snorkeling, kayaking and hiking as you move between islands, with a bilingual naturalist guide on hand throughout.
Evenings are unhurried — settle into the library for a film, or take a drink up to the sundeck as the boat moves on to the next site. It's a comfortable, low-key way to see the archipelago rather than a fast-paced expedition.
