One of the newest motor yachts exploring the Enchanted Isles, the 16-guest Galapagos Angel offers a unique blend of adventure, comfort, and exclusivity. Crafted with precision in the Netherlands, she embodies the elegance of classical Europe while delivering the highest navigation standards, and promises a first class experience as you explore the wonders of the Galapagos Archipelago.

Life On Board

The Galapagos Angel boasts two large suites on the upper deck and six slightly smaller cabins on the main deck, accommodating a maximum of 16 passengers in total. Revel in the comfort of thoughtfully designed accommodations, featuring panoramic windows that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding beauty, and stay connected with loved ones using the onboard WiFi service, ensuring you can share every awe-inspiring moment of your journey.

Exciting Exploration

Leave the details to the expert crew members and your certified bilingual naturalist guide. They will guide you through the islands, showcasing the most remarkable spots and ensuring an unforgettable, immersive experience.

Lucky guests can choose from four carefully curated itineraries that capture the essence of the Galapagos Islands; 4-day and 5-day itineraries discovering the diverse beauty and unique flora and fauna of the archipelago’s more central islands, plus Española or Genovesa respecively; an 8-day (A) itinerary combining both these itineraries; or an equally thrilling 8-day (B) itinerary exploring the wonders of the western islands of Isabela and Fernandina, alongside the mysterious Floreana with its intriguing human history.

Embark on a journey like no other, where every detail is crafted to ensure your Galapagos experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Ideal for families, groups, and private charters, the Galapagos Angel awaits to indulge explorers of all kinds with its exciting and elegant expeditions.

Embarkation

AM: Morning flight to Baltra. After passing through immigration and baggage claim, you will be met by a Galapagos Angel staff member and brought into a private bus to start your adventure in Galapagos.

The first excursion will be after being picked up at the airport upon arrival to the islands, so it is advisable to travel with suitable clothing and footwear for walking.

PM: Accessible by bus from Puerto Ayora, the highlands of Santa Cruz are a deep green which contrasts beautifully with the dry, lower part of the islands. The predominant vegetation in the highlands are Scalesia trees which create a lush green forest. The lava tunnels, over half a mile long, are underground; walking through them is a unique, surreal experience. At this place you’ll have lunch.

The presence of coral heads on the lava flow indicates this phenomenon.

PM: You will head to Bartholomew Island where the famous Pinnacle Rock is found. Bartholomew consists of an extinct volcano with a variety of red, orange, black and even green volcanic formations. We will take a trail of stairs to the summit of the volcano (about 30 or 40 minutes) where you will enjoy one of the best views of the islands! You will also visit a small, beautiful beach surrounded by the only vegetation found on this barren island.
