The Galapagos Islands have so much to offer: wildlife like nowhere else in the world; ideal weather year-round; and the best small-ship, expedition style cruises.

What is the best Galapagos cruise size? What are the best islands to visit on a Galapagos cruise? How long should my Galapagos cruise be? These are all questions I get frequently, and the answers aren’t the same for every traveler. Fortunately, at Knowmad Adventures we are well acquainted with the pros and cons of every Galapagos cruise ship and itinerary that we can help you answer the most important question: what is the best cruise and itinerary for me?

“The toughest part is trying to find something we didn’t love! The entire trip was amazing. The people who picked us up, drove us around, took us on tours of the cities and those who guided us on our hikes; every single person was awesome and shared so much fascinating culture and history. We had the best seats in the house at the tango house with the dancers three feet away from us. All our accommodations were excellent. The owners at Aguas Arriba were always checking to make sure we had everything we needed and Diego our hiking guide was wonderful.
Rick and I have been traveling the world for 35 years, and traveling on a trip planned by Knowmad was the most incredible experience of our lives.” – Newby and Rick, Custom Argentina and Uruguay Adventure
