GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Making your Galápagos Dreams Come True 

Come swim with playful sea lion pups, try to keep up with a penguin chasing a fishy dessert, tromp among giant tortoises in tall green grass, and quietly mosey past a motley crew of marine iguanas.

Long ago, maybe upon first learning of the Galapagos Islands and their curious animals, you made a decision that someday you would visit the "Islas Encantadas." Since that time it has only been a question of when you would fulfill this contract with yourself. And of selecting the length and style of trip most suitable for you. We are here to help you make that selection.

Since 1976 we have been delivering the "Galapagos Dream" to our travelers. In Quito, Ecuador, just one block from the Hilton Colon-Quito, our exclusive and dedicated Ecuadorian associates are on hand to serve you. These years of experience and attention to detail enable Inca Floats to provide the highest levels of natural history experience and creature comforts that can be found on any trip to "Darwin’s Islands" and the exciting Ecuador mainland.

Galapagos Adventures

At INCA we know that each Galapagos visitor has certain trip expectations and comfort requirements, as well as time and budget constraints. We know that no two people are alike. We offer a range of experiences from eleven to twenty days in length, and our adventures are enjoyed on luxurious yachts in comfort.

In Our Adventures you will find descriptions of our Galapagos Adventures.

The unique sailing itineraries of the yachts Integrity and Reina Silvia bring you to more islands and visitor sites than any other yachts in their size. On most of our trips, we start with a stay on the island of Santa Cruz before boarding the yacht. This allows us to see more of Santa Cruz, to get over our travels in comfort and adjust to Galapagos, and most importantly, spend more time in the outlying Islands. We think there is no better way to visit these enchanting islands.

We have also crafted itineraries that combine our Galapagos Adventures with the Amazon Jungle, with the Ecuadorian Countryside, and with Peru and Machu Picchu. These are adventures that, through the years, have received the highest marks from our discerning clients.

Galapagos Yachts

We offer you the unparalleled Integrity, the finest small yacht in the Galapagos, and the Reina Silvia, "Queen of Galapagos." Both yachts are owned and operated by the most respected and exacting yacht operator in Galapagos.

Each yacht carries just 16 like-minded adventures in comfort on an itinerary that offers as many unique visitor sites and wildlife sightings as comfortably possible on a seven-night cruise.

Please refer to each yacht's web page for
yacht descriptions, specifications, route maps and images.

Each of our trips specifies upon which yacht a departure sails, so there's no guesswork. Select your adventure and your yacht and get ready for adventure!
