Galapagos Island travel on an Untamed Path tour offers you a unique cruise between spectacular islands on an 8-20 person yacht. Galapagos Island tours are the premier wildlife viewing opportunity on the planet.  Galapagos species have evolved for thousands of years without predators to cause them fear.  Wander freely amongst them, photograph unique species and see why Charles Darwin was so impressed by the Galapagos islands.

When you tour the Galapagos Islands with Untamed Path you will get to experience the best it has to offer.  We charter only small, high quality boats that give you a more intimate interaction with the hidden corners of these small islands off the coast of Ecuador.  Combining your Galapagos adventure with one of our multi-element trips in the Andean highlands and Amazon Basin makes for the ultimate well rounded South American tour.

Our knowledge of the intricacies of travel to the Galapagos allows us to put together the best possible trip for you. Contact us for more information to plan your Galapagos Island tour.

Untamed Path offers 2 types of Galapagos Island Journeys

Custom Itinerary:

Private Charter:

If you are traveling alone or with a small group of friends or family this is the way to go. We can customize an itinerary for you that includes being greeted at the airport, staying at one of our favorite Bed and Breakfasts, trip extension ideas before or after visiting the Galapagos and an 5 - 15 day cruise on your choice of a wide range of yachts. Tell us what your preferences are and we'll arrange everything for you. All you have to do is pack your bag and start smiling!

For larger families or groups of 4 to 20 friends this is the ticket. When you charter the yacht you have more options. The time schedule is up to you, the itinerary can be modified (with enough advance notice) and it's just you and your friends or family. Want to spend more time snorkling? Done. Want to get to the island early for best photo lighting? Done. Special dietary needs? Done. Two families of 4 can charter an 8 person yacht and have the time of their lives!

No matter what your preference you can rest assured that we will share with you the knowledge and details that you need to make your trip to these magical islands the very best that it can be.

Summary

The ultimate wildlife trip to a warm tropical paradise. No place like it on Earth.

 General Trip Description:

   Spend 5-15 days on a yacht exploring in the footsteps of Charles Darwin in the "Enchanted Islands" of the Galapagos.  Walk and/or swim amongst marine wildlife that knows no fear of humans.

  • Snorkeling in crystal waters viewing tropical wildlife.
  • Day walks on 8 different islands with a bilingual level III naturalist.
  • Swim with Sea Lions, Turtles, Penguins, Sharks (they don't bite!) and Rays.
  • Spectacular sunsets and clear equatorial constellations.

    These adventures provide the unique opportunity of traveling on a 8-20 person yacht which allows you to visit some of the smaller islands and ports that bigger boats cannot.  This trip is most enjoyed by wildlife enthusiasts and those interested in learning about the natural history of this incredible place.


"Our trip to the Galapagos was by far the best vacation our family has ever taken. Untamed Path seemed to anticipate all of our needs and the yacht couldn't have been more appropriate for my kids. The naturalist guide was fantastic, we learned so much in such a short time. We can't wait to go back someday to swim with the young sea lions again!"
