7-8 Day Galapagos Cruises

A selection of all 7 and 8 day long Galapagos cruises chosen by Galapagos Sea Star Travel’s team of Galapagos travel experts.

The 7 and 8 day cruises of the Galapagos Islands are considered by most experts to be the ideal cruises length, as you get to see several different islands and at least two different visitor’s spots each day, providing a complete overview of the Islands. Many travelers critique 4 and 5-day cruises for being too short, as on most cruises, the first and last days are spent traveling from the Ecuadorian mainland leaving only 2-3 days to see the islands! On the other hand, a 15-day cruise circumnavigating the Galapagos may become physically exhausting for some travelers, as a typical day sees passengers rising at 6am with two excursions (usually hikes or snorkeling).

Please keep in mind that we offer many vessels, and each boat with its own Galapagos National Park-approved itinerary that often varies from each other.

No matter which vessel you pick, each yacht features professional multilingual naturalist leaders and twice daily scheduled landings or boat tours, and when the opportunity arises, you’ll also generally enjoy at least one or more snorkel opportunities either as one of the scheduled activities or in between the scheduled excursions.

What we need to find the best Galapagos cruise for you:

• Dates you can travel (be as flexible as possible)
• How many days you want in the Galapagos
• Do you have a budget in mind, or a level of accommodations
• Anything specific you need (large/small boat, visiting certain islands, sea kayaks, etc.)
• If there are any children 11 years old or younger.
