About us

Comfort and adventure, planned locally

Galápagos & Beyond is based in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz — the heart of the islands. We run small-ship cruises, guided island tours, and our own stays, so every part of your trip is arranged by people who live here.

What we do

We book small-ship Galápagos cruises across Luxury, First Class and Tourist Superior tiers, run guided day tours and multi-day land packages to the islands, and operate our own places to stay — an aparthotel in Santa Cruz and condos in Quito — with pools, jacuzzis and saunas for guests arriving before or after their island trip.

From guided snorkeling and biking to island-hopping itineraries, we design each trip to connect travelers to the islands directly, rather than through a generic booking engine.

Recognized locally

Our Santa Cruz property has been recognized by Booking.com as one of the best-rated hotels in Galápagos, Santa Cruz — a reflection of the same hands-on service we bring to every cruise and tour we arrange.

Where we are

Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos — with condos also available in Quito for mainland stays before or after your trip.
