Inti Travel and Tours and our Ecuadorian associates invite you to join us on your journey of a lifetime to
Discover
Galapagos. We offer a variety of quality ships and yachts and provide you with comfortable
accommodation, excellent meals, friendly crew and a professional naturalist guide. We have
worked directly with the owners of the ships and yachts in Galapagos since 1979 and offer you the best
rates possible. Our price range will accommodate a wide range of budgets.
All of our yachts and tours
depart on a weekly basis throughout the year
Great
Galapagos Specials are listed below under Cruise Rates. We
consistently offer more specials and discounts for Galapagos than any other
company.
If you are having difficulty
finding availability over holidays and other high demand dates, we have
reserved cabins aboard some of the ships and yachts exclusively for our
clients.
Check
here for other high demand dates and availability...
We are now offering a variety of
tour packages that include the Andes, Amazon, and Cusco and Machu Pichu at
special discounted rates.
Check our
Tour Packages page for more
information.
The
ships and yachts used by Inti
were designed specifically for exploring the Galapagos Islands with a
focus on the safety and comfort of our guests. Our cruise ships
accommodate up to 100 passengers and offer 3, 4 and 7 night cruises in
Galapagos. If you are looking for a small cruise ship style yacht, you may
wish to consider our mid-sized deluxe mini cruisers. Our smaller deluxe, first and
tourist class boats accommodate small groups of eight to twenty passengers
and are perfectly suited for the intimacy of a natural and human history
tour of the Galapagos Islands. All of the ships and yachts we offer
are equipped with the best and most reputable naturalist guides in the
islands!
See below for more information
on the ships and yachts we offer...
All of the ships and yachts we offer are also available for charter cruises. Yacht charters
are a great way for families and groups to enjoy their Galapagos adventure
with a familiar group of people! Charters may be available for 4, 5, or 8 days
and itineraries may be modified to suit any special requests.
See below for more information on
charter rates...
We are proud to offer the Sky
Dancer for dedicated SCUBA
itineraries that include absolute best dive sites in the Galapagos
Islands. SCUBA diving is also offered during some regular itinerary tours
with the Finch Bay Hotel Resort,
Hotel
Silberstein and aboard the Galapagos
Explorer II, Eric, Letty & Flamingo,
Beluga,
Cachalote and
Nautilus.
Special SCUBA cruises are available aboard the
Nautilus. Reservations
for SCUBA must be made in advance.
