Highlights of the Golondrina Yacht

Category: Standard
  • The Golondrina yacht is the more basic of our Galapagos cruise yacht options, but does offer excellent economical prices, and is often popular with our past clients.
  • It does still offer all of the same basic services as other yachts, such as hot water, air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and comfortable social areas.
  • The Golondrina practices ecological waste on board, demonstrating their committment to the environment in the Galapagos National Park.
  • This yacht runs a varied selection of 4, 5 and 8 day itineraries, that can also be combined into longer 12 and 15 day cruises for a real in-depth Galapagos trip!

About Itineraries

  • On day 1 there is only time for an afternoon visit to be included; similarly, on the final day, there is only a brief morning visit. The reason for this is to connect with the Galapagos flight arrivals and departures at the airport.
  • Contact us for information about which itineraries will run on different dates through the year, and to check tour availabilities. We often have special Galapagos offers too!
  • The Golondrina cruise obligates Happy Gringo to buy Galapagos flight tickets directly through them; failure to do so will, unfortunately, result in a penalty fee being charged to you by the yacht operator.
  • All yacht information is correct at time of publishing but may be subject to change by the yacht operator or Galapagos National Park authority. Published prices may be subject to change without prior notice

  • Upper Deck Cabins (7 & 8) – with windows.
