 Galadventure Galapagos tour

Galadventure run an excellent value tour renowned for a perfect blend of adventure, Galapagos wildlife and focus on service.

They use fast motorboats to hop between the islands, clean accommodation and a range of excellent adventure activities to make a very attractive Galapagos package with more time spent on land than the traditional cruises. These tours are more commonly named "Galapagos Island Hopping".

It is the only tour at Galapagos to have both a tour leader and a naturalist guide, meaning that clients are both well-informed about the islands and well looked-after throughout.
