Thhis is the BEST boat because it has the largest cabins and an astounding crew/passenger ratio.
Seeing the animals in their wild lives was stunning: boobies, flamingoes, tortoises, iguanas, sea lions and schools of underwater fish.

Stellar small ship crew service and top notch accommodations complemented our extraordinary Galapagos Island travel experience!
Our snorkeling experience exceeded our expectations! The guidance and assistance from the tour guide and crew while snorkeling, allowed us to relax and enjoy the amazing underwater world. My husband saw a sea ray swim by him during our first snorkeling activity. My daughters swam by sea turtles and sea lions busy with their under water life! We all saw an array of delightful, beautiful underwater creatures. Our land tours offered more opportunity to observe marine and land animals. While on our ship, we enjoyed extended family time relaxing and dining together. We also truly enjoyed the other tour group members. The entire trip was extraordinarily special. Ecogalaxy should be proud of the experience it offers travelers and of the quality service the captain, tour guide and crew deliver to every guest. Thank you!

- 1) The cruise enabled my family to enjoy land & sea Galapagos Island activities without worrying about the logistics of island to island travel, securing equipment for water activities (ie, snorkeling, paddle boards, kayaks), & enjoying amazing meals. 2) The tour guide & crew made every effort to ensure the tour was the best experience possible for every tour group member. We were greeted with a smile & a helping hand every day! 3)The small tour group allowed travelers to become acquainted & share amazing experiences every day on the tour.

Fabulous experience on every level
We had a fabulous time on Eco Galaxy. The rooms were really spacious and comfortable. Food was very good and beautifully presented with lots of Ecuadorian influences. The daily activities with the guide were a highlight. Guide was knowledgeable and the activities were incredibly well organized with high attention to safety. All the equipment was high quality and in excellent condition. The organized activities were early in the day and later in the day which left time for lunch and relaxing in the middle of the day. We had some amazing experiences seeing the animals and the snorkeling was magical. Be aware that on this itinerary you see the giant tortoises on the last morning at the Darwin Center on Santa Cruz. We stayed on an extra day on Santa Cruz and took a taxi to see them at one of the ranches in the highlands too which we were glad we did but then you have to make your own way to the airport the next day, which is easy enough to do. Crew were very friendly and attentive. There was a great sense of community with the other passengers. I liked that it was a small group of 16 people. Overall this was a truly special trip. One thing to be aware of is that the crossings between islands at night can be quite choppy. Several people got some sea sickness even when they had not suffered from it in the past. Boat provided sea sickness medication but you have to be able to keep it down so take before you start the crossing or start to feel sick or consider bringing some prescription patches if you can tolerate them. I am very prone to sea sickness but had no problem using a patch.

Once in a lifetime experience!
This was an amazing trip...once in a life time experience. We learned so much about the Galapogos Islands and all the species of animals that live there. Would highly recommend the Eco Galaxy boat for a trip to the Galapogos.

Great tour of the Western Galapagos aboard EcoGalaxy
We did Itinerary B, a 6-day/4-night cruise aboard the EcoGalaxy in Aug 2022 and had an amazing time. Boat was well-appointed with plenty of space both in staterooms and public areas. Crew was friendly, welcoming, and took great care of us. Excellent food + cocktails. I liked how itinerary B took us to the western islands (Isabella + Fernandina) where we saw only 2-3 other boats per day. Each day was action-packed with hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, and Panga tours -- all led by our knowledgeable guide. Highlights for me were the snorkeling trips. We snorkeled twice per day and each trip was incredible. We swam with tons of sea turtles and marine iguanas, and beautiful tropical fish of every size and color. A few times, we got to swim with playful sea lions, penguins, pelicans, flightless cormorants, and even sharks (not scary ones). We kayaked once which was fun, and daily hikes enabled us to see hawks, flamingoes, land iguanas and tortoises, penguins, boobies, and of course more sea lions and marine iguanas. When these activities were done, the crew was fast at shuttling us back to the EcoGalaxy where there were always snacks, beverages, and showers waiting for us. And while the daily schedule is packed, there is also downtime to shower, read, and take a nap.

Amazing visit to Galapagos on the EcoGalaxy
We had fantastic trips to the islands, where we loved interacting with amazing tortoises, turtles, iguanas, penguins, beautiful birds, fish, etc. The boat crew was incredible, and the food was unbelievable. Our room was also very comfortable. Just keep in mind that the catamaran ride can get slightly rough in the open sea, but it was absolutely worth it!

Incredible experience on an exceptional Yacht
Snorkeling with Penguins, turtles, sharks, sea lions and a variety of fish. Seeing the giant tortoises. Hiking on lava fields and pristine beaches with abundance’s of wildlife. Each island offered a unique experience. EcoGalaxy is a very comfortable yacht to enjoy the islands. My stateroom was huge, clean and very comfortable with loads of hot water. The yacht is very well appointed with a variety of comfy seating areas on each deck. Staff catered to your needs and the food was fabulous.
