There are a lot of yacht options in the Galapagos and picking the right cruise for your Galapagos adventure can be overwhelming. Adventure Life offers ten tips on how to make your vacation plans easier! It’s important to call early if you have specific dates as popular cruise departures fill up six months in advance.

Galapagos can be a pricey destination, but there are several tactics you can use to lower the cost of your trip.

Travel in the Low Season
Most of the year is low season in Galapagos. High seasons are July, August, the end of November, and the Christmas & New Year holiday.

Galapagos Land-Based Tours
Land-based Galapagos tours can be a less expensive versus cruises.

Take a Short Cruise
Cruise prices are based upon a per day rate, so taking a 4 or 5-Day cruise can be nearly half as much as an 8-day cruise. 5-Day cruises are recommended, as you spend the first and last days in transit. A 4-day cruise gives you only 2 full days on the islands - not enough!

Extend Your Cruise
By staying in a hotel before or after your cruise, you can extend a 4-Day cruise a few days to be frugal.
