Choosing the right boat is the most important decision you can make when planning your Galapagos vacation. Some use sails and some use motors. Some hold hundreds of people and have large cabins typical of a Caribbean cruise, while others are yachts that accommodate just a few guests at a time. Some are … more specifically equipped for certain purposes, such as diving. Most boats visit 4-10 different islands, take 5-10 day trips, and cost an arm and a leg. Inquire with several tour companies and check out a few different boats before making your final decision. All boats will arrange to pick you up at one of the Galapagos’ two airports.
