Route Map
Itinerary
Galapagos yachts all operate on a 14 day (2 week) circuit. This circuit is broken into shorter itineraries which can be combined; depending on the yacht, cruises can be as short as 4 days and as long as 15 days.
Starting or ending days are highlighted in the 15 day itinerary (day 1 and day 15 have the same activities); passengers arriving to the Galapagos Islands on these days will do the afternoon activity and passengers departing on these days will do the morning activity.
The Ocean Spray Catamaran offers two itineraries of 8 days, two itineraries of 6 days (starting days 1 and 6), one 5 day itinerary (starting day 11) and one 4 day itinerary (starting day 8). Itineraries can be combined to form a complete circuit of up to 15 days. One 8 day itinerary includes the northwest area of the Galapagos, including Isabela and Fernandina, and the other visits the southeast and central portion of the islands.
All itineraries listed below are subject to change or modification due to park regulations, airport restrictions, weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond the control of Eos or the yacht operators. They are listed as a service to provide general information as to which places in the Galapagos are typically visited by each yacht cruise.
