Traveling to the Galapagos is a unique experience, but one of the first important decisions is how to tour the islands. There are two main ways to do this: via a land tour or via an expedition yacht.
Neither option is better than the other; It all depends on your travel style, your expectations and the time available.
🏝️ What is a Land Tour in Galapagos?
A land tour involves staying on inhabited islands such as Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal or Isabela, and taking daily excursions to nearby natural sites, combining hiking, short sailing and snorkeling.
✅ Ideal for travelers who:
They are looking for a more flexible rhythm
They prefer to sleep on dry land
They want free time to explore in their own way.
Traveling with family, children or older adults
They have a medium budget
They get dizzy easily in the sea
🔍 Aspects to consider:
Fewer remote islands are visited
Excursions depend on daily schedules
The experience is more localized, but equally rich in fauna
