About us
Comfort and adventure, planned locally
Galápagos & Beyond is based in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, the heart of the islands. We run small-ship cruises, guided island tours, and our own stays, so every part of your trip is arranged by people who live here.
Our mission
Galápagos & Beyond is a tour company dedicated to providing our customers with customized and flexible organized diving and land tours. We value every customer: our goal is to make dreams come true through a safe experience, education, and the preservation of this vulnerable environment and its unique animals.
Our vision
To be a leading force in increasing awareness of the importance of the islands and their value to humanity. We strive to inspire visitors and the community through education and the highest regard for the environment.
What we do
We book small-ship Galápagos cruises across Luxury, First Class and Tourist Superior tiers, run guided day tours and multi-day land packages to the islands, and operate our own places to stay (an aparthotel in Santa Cruz and condos in Quito), with pools, jacuzzis and saunas for guests arriving before or after their island trip.
From guided snorkeling and biking to island-hopping itineraries, we design each trip to connect travelers to the islands directly, rather than through a generic booking engine.
Recognized locally
Our Santa Cruz property has been recognized by Booking.com as one of the best-rated hotels in Galápagos, Santa Cruz: a reflection of the same hands-on service we bring to every cruise and tour we arrange.
Where we are
