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. Our 7 night itinerary with Española will take guests to awe-inspiring places such as Puerto Villamil, a quaint island town loaded with beautiful scenery and beaches. During this week, guests will also learn about the mysterious and dramatic lives of the first colonists of Floreana Island. There is also the opportunity to see the beautiful Waved Albatross on the archipelago's oldest remaining island, Española.
