NATURE UNTAMED

Be transformed on an unforgettable expedition with Ecoventura, where our sophisticated yachts, the Origin, Theory & Evolve help you access one of the world’s most elusive destinations. Trust us to deliver a life-enriching adventure that will redefine your expectations of luxury expedition travel.

Pure in beauty and timeless allure,

these volcanic islands have the kind of rugged, unaltered magnetism that is increasingly scarce, and are home to endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. For wildlife enthusiasts, there is no greater pilgrimage than a trip to the place that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and formulated in “Origin of Species”.

Start your Journey

Galapagos Luxury Cruises

From the bow of your luxury expedition vessel, search the coastline for bottlenose dolphins. and if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, snorkel alongside the playful sea lions during an outing on your yacht..

You’ll see plenty of creatures during your tour of the Galápagos, including green sea turtles and —during a pilgrimage to the island of Isabela— the famed giant tortoises. Try and match their leisurely pace as these prehistoric reptiles mosey across the island.

Search the skyline and the rocky outcroppings for the rare birds of the Galápagos.

A flash of cobalt can give away a cartoonish blue-footed booby, while a line of birdsong may belong to one of Darwin’s namesake finches.

THE GALAPAGOS ELITE LUXURY CATAMARAN

Next-generation galapagos catamaran.

The Galapagos Elite Luxury Catamaran began operating on June 15th, 2019. When the Elite reached the azure waters of the Galapagos Islands as the newest mega-catamaran in the storied archipelago, it reinvented luxury, class and the entire Galapagos travel experience.

A sleek, twin-hulled vessel that provides its guests with a steady and safe cruise,  the design of the Elite allows for more space per guest on board, including integrated social areas that blend indoor and outdoor designs and experiences. All Suites on the Galapagos Elite luxury catamaran are spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed: the perfect place to relax and recharge after a day spent exploring the islands. Each suite has panoramic windows providing guests with sweeping ocean views, a private outdoor balcony, as well as a frosted glass wall in the restroom of each suite, bathing it in natural light.  All beds are convertible, allowing them to be configured with two twin beds or one king-size bed.

Our professional cuisine specialists aboard the Galapagos Elite prepare three delicious, nutritious meals per day: breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, with a more elegant sit-down dinner served in the al fresco dining area on the partially covered sky deck. Special dietary needs are never a problem and kids’ meals are available, including kosher food (barters). Guests of all ages enjoy the spacious, semi-covered sky deck, the al fresco dining area, and the cozy bar-salon while aboard the Elite, and its interior passenger lounge features a 180-degree panoramic view from its main deck.

Golden Galapagos Cruises has significant experience creating cruise experiences in the Galapagos, as well as understanding our guests’ needs. Our close-knit team of professionals are well-known in the industry for their perfectionism when it comes to planning and operating luxury cruises. Golden Galapagos makes a point of always hiring the best captains, guides, chefs and crew members for the vessels that we operate, believing that the people, not the ship itself, is what makes the trip memorable for our guests.

The Elite, a private luxury catamaran in the Galapagos, offers enviable itineraries with visits to the best visitor sites the Galapagos islands and Galapagos waters have to offer. Within the archipelago, we have long and short itineraries covering the Western, Central and Eastern islands.

Needless to say, the Galapagos Elite luxury catamaran features state-of-the-art navigation systems and safety equipment; safety and reliability are essential parts of any Galapagos luxury experience.

CORMORANT II CRUISE REVIEWS

Cruise rating: 4.8 /5 - 2 customer reviews

Dear Fatima, I am writing to thank you for putting together a wonderful trip for us. It was amazing! All the arrangements went smoothly. The accommodations were great. The Cormorant II was beautiful, and the crew first-rate. We loved our guide, Peter Freire. The trip to Mindo was also great, and our guide, Rocco, was terrific- fun, knowledgeable, and dedicated to packing as much into our one day as possible. Thank you, again, for your help in planning this great trip. Your expertise, suggestions, responsiveness, and enthusiasm made the process and the result super! Fondly, Martha FitzMaurice February 2024 4.8

Hermes | Galapagos Catamaran

The Hermes Catamaran revolutionizes luxury cruising in the Galapagos by offering a perfect blend of comfort, exceptional service, and unforgettable experiences both onboard and on land. It challenges the notion that you have to sacrifice comfort on a large cruise ship to enjoy intimacy on a smaller vessel.

Moreover, when you embark on a cruise aboard the Hermes Catamaran, you also contribute to the conservation of Galapagos' wildlife through the Endemic Reforestation Program on Santa Cruz Island.

With our dedication to personalized service and meticulous attention to detail, we strive to create the ideal environment for an extraordinary adventure on these magical islands.

State-of-the-art deluxe suites

The Hermes Catamaran boasts 12 generously sized convertible suites located on the main and upper decks of the vessel. These suites, consisting of 10 double and 2 single accommodations, feature private bathrooms, air conditioning, walk-in closets, mini bars, floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and jacuzzis.

Elegant social areas

In contrast to the belief that only large ships offer a wide range of social spaces, the Hermes Catamaran provides various indoor and outdoor areas for socializing. Indoors, you will find a welcoming area, two lounges, and a library. Outdoor options include an aperitif lounge, a spacious sundeck with al-fresco dining, an open area with reclining chairs, and an observation zone.

Additional services offered onboard

We offer complimentary snorkeling equipment in average sizes, wetsuits in different sizes on a first-come, first-served basis, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Cooking and cocktail lessons, unpacking service, and 24/7 butler service are also provided free of charge. Massages are available for an extra fee and can be booked onboard.

Additional information

Please note that it is mandatory to use the flights arranged by our cruise company. A penalty fee of USD 50 will be applied if other flights are used. Flight rates and schedules are subject to change without prior notice.

If you choose to book your flight to the Galapagos independently and it arrives earlier than our scheduled operational flight, you will need to wait at the Galapagos airport until the rest of the group on your cruise arrives. If your Galapagos flight arrives later than our scheduled flight, additional transportation costs may apply to reach the yacht. The same applies to your return flight to Quito or Guayaquil. Please be aware that any missed excursions cannot be reimbursed when you book your own flights.
