The majority of foreign visitors to the Galápagos choose a live-aboard ship moves from site to site, rather than returning to the starting point after each site is visited, as you would have had to if you stayed at a land-based hotel.
For the most part, yachts travel between the islands at night. This saves time and increases the number of potential visits/activities during the day.
Live-aboards are much more comfortable than the small boats used for inter-island travel as is the case with the “island hopping tours” and transportation to Naturalist sites from land-based hotels.
Live-aboards visit some of the more remote areas in the Galápagos that are only accessible by live-aboard yachts/ships.
If you stay in a hotel in Puerto Ayora, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, or Villamil (on Isabela) you will be restricted to day tours that are situated close to these population centers.
In addition, Live-aboard cruises are allowed to visit some islands that are off limits to land-based Naturalist yachts are categorized into 5 classes – economy, tourist run better than a more expensive luxury class one.
Selecting the right live-aboard is very important. This is where the assistance of an experienced Galapagos tour operator can be invaluable.
