All available space for dive trips is listed on this page.    Keep in mind that space is sold everyday so this list should be used only as a guideline in planning your trip.  Dive operators will sometime charter these yachts for their groups.  Any space which a dive operator is holding is not listed on this site because it is not for sale to the general public.  All prices are subject to change and are only confirmed with a deposit.

You can find photographs and yacht specifications by clicking on the name or photo of the yacht.

All the prices below are for the yacht space only.  They are per person in US dollars and do not include the international airfare to Ecuador, the airfare to Galapagos, the Galapagos National Park tax, departure taxes, crew and guide tips, or the overnights and transfers on the mainland which are usually required due to flight schedules.

So why should you book your trip through a Galapagos Adventures rather than directly with one of these yachts ?
1.  Do you know which yachts in Galapagos have a reputation of running quality trips and which ones don't ?  Do you know which companies in Galapagos have received the most complaints from passengers and which have had the most passenger compliments ?   Galapagos Adventures does !   

2.  It does not cost you any more to book your trip with Galapagos Adventures but there are numerous advantages. You will pay the same for the space regardless of who you book your trip with.   Galapagos Adventures is paid a commission from the suppliers for the space that we sell.  If a client books directly with a supplier, the supplier simply makes more money from the trip. 

3. Galapagos Adventures represent numerous suppliers.  Therefore they can offer clients a much larger variety of products and services in a wide range of prices. 

4. Galapagos Adventures will earn their commission regardless of which supplier is used.  Therefore Galapagos Adventures will direct the client to the tour which will best fit the wants and needs of the client.

5. Galapagos Adventures is familiar with all of the products that they market.  We have personally seen all of the hotels, yacht, etc. that we represent.  We know the reputation of all of our suppliers and we keep a close eye on their business practices.  If we receive too many complaints from our clients about any particular supplier, we discontinue our business relationship with them.

6. Galapagos Adventures is one of the largest tour operators to Galapagos.   When you book directly with a supplier, you represent a single client - yourself.   When you book with Galapagos Adventures, you represent one of hundreds of clients, both past and future.  Therefore you are virtually guaranteed to receive  the best service possible.
