5 Night Cruise sailing from Baltra roundtrip aboard Athala.

From sea lions to pelicans, iguanas to cormorants, flamingoes, albatross, sharks, whales and Giant tortoises - there is jaw-dropping wildlife in action at every turn in the Galapagos Islands.

Our itineraries are designed to provide an in-depth, up-close and personal view of this unique archipelago. The Athala offers two well-balanced 7 night routes and for those who prefer a condensed version, we can also offer 5 night cruises.

The Athala anchors off-shore at two visitor sites per day. Three to four hours are spent at each site, allowing plenty of time to explore and to photograph the abundant wildlife, guided only by the most experienced naturalist guides. Afterwards, there is often an opportunity to swim, snorkel or kayak before returning aboard.

Our itineraries offer stops at many of the archipelago's most sought after sites. For example, our 7 night itinerary with Genovesa includes visits to the beautiful Punta Espinoza, home to nesting flightless cormorants as well as penguins and some of the largest, most colourful marine iguanas in the Galapagos. Another stop is at Bartholomew Island, where the iconic Pinnacle is a must-have photo opportunity. Of course, this itinerary also includes the spectacular Genovesa Island, where there is an estimated population of over two million birds of various species, including the red footed booby!
