The Galápagos by Small Ship

The journey.

Nowhere else does the wildlife simply not care that you're there. Boobies dance a metre away, sea lions ambush your snorkel for fun, and iguanas sneeze salt at your feet. The Galápagos rewires what 'wild' means.

The ship A small yacht — sixteen guests, a naturalist per eight — threading the islands on a route chosen for animals, not ports.

The water Two snorkels a day: penguins at the equator, turtles in the shallows, hammerheads for the brave at Kicker Rock. The line between land itinerary and marine safari dissolves by day two.

Darwin needed five weeks. You'll be rethinking things by Thursday.

Questions people ask about The Galápagos by Small Ship

How many days do you need for The Galápagos by Small Ship?
We build it as 8 nights, 9 days. That is the length that lets the route breathe without adding a night nobody needed.
How much does The Galápagos by Small Ship cost from India?
From ₹30L for two people, land only. That is our starting price for the whole journey rather than a per night rate, and international flights are quoted separately at cost.
When is the best time to go?
Patagonia runs November to March. Peru is driest May to September, which is also the best window for the Inca Trail. The Galapagos is good year round with different wildlife in each season.
What visa do Indian travellers need?
Requirements vary by country, and several of them waive the visa entirely if you hold a valid US or Schengen visa, which is usually the fastest route. We check the exact rule for your passport and your routing before anything is booked. Rules change, so we confirm the current requirement for your passport when we plan the trip.
How long is the flight from India?
Twenty four hours or more from Delhi with two stops. This is a long way, which is part of why we plan it as a longer trip.
Is this a private trip or a group tour?
Private. The itinerary, the guide and the vehicle are yours alone, and every date is set around you rather than a fixed departure.
Can the itinerary be changed?
Yes. The Galápagos by Small Ship is a starting shape, not a fixed package. Add nights, swap a city, change the hotel standard, or tell us what you would rather do with a day and we rebuild it.
