Galapagos Options: One If by Land, Two If by Sea

Enchanted Expeditions offers three distinct ways to discover the amazing Galapagos Islands in Ecuador — two fully equipped expedition yachts and a land-based lodge on Santa Cruz Island.

M/Y Cachalote Explorer

Built in Canada, this large and spacious motor vessel was converted into a 16-passenger expedition yacht in 2017. Each of the eight cabins boasts a private bathroom equipped with hot- and cold-water shower. The ship is air-conditioned throughout and features a large salon/dining area with multiple large deck areas for relaxing, eating and socializing. Some of the cabins can sleep three or four passengers, which makes it ideal for families.

The Cachalote Explorer offers six, eight and 15-day voyages. Each of these itineraries is a unique, rich and varied opportunity to experience the Galapagos up close and personal within a small group led by a highly experienced naturalist guide.

M/Y Beluga

Equipped with the most modern safety and mechanical equipment, the Beluga accommodates 16 passengers in eight double cabins including a triple room suitable for families. Each cabin has its own private bathroom equipped with hot- and cold-water showers. The vessel features full air-conditioned and spacious social areas with all the comforts and facilities of a superior first-class motor yacht including panoramic windows in the salon/dining area and a large sundeck for relaxing, sightseeing or sunbathing.

Awarded a Smart Voyager certification for adhering to conservation standards, Beluga offers six- and eight-day voyages as well as the option of combining both of those itineraries for an extended Galapagos cruise.

Enchanted Galapagos Lodge

Rest, relax and reconnect at Altair Galapagos Lodge. Located in the lush highlands of Santa Cruz Island, the hotel offers guests the opportunity to unwind while admiring the lush highlands. The lodge offers 10 newly renovated standard and superior rooms (all air-conditioned), a luxurious outdoor pool and hot tub, and numerous large open-air lounges. Just a 15-minute drive from the lively town of Puerto Ayora, the location offers the best of both Galapagos worlds.
