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

Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos, with condos also available in Quito for mainland stays before or after your trip.
