Tour Operator
Based in Quito, Ecuador
Ecuadorian tour operator specializing in luxury expedition cruises through the Galapagos Islands. Based in Quito, the company has operated since 2008, managing its own diverse fleet of vessels – from the luxury Galaxy Sirius catamaran to specialized yachts for eco-focused travel and diving excursions. This direct operational control allows for small-group tours led by expert naturalist guides, ensuring intimate exploration of the region’s biodiversity. The company’s approach blends high-end travel with a focus on responsible tourism and local immersion. Itineraries often incorporate cultural and culinary elements, such as chef-led Ecuadorian cooking classes, designed to support local communities while safeguarding the natural environment. While the Galapagos remains its core focus, the company also designs travel packages across South America, including Peru, Bolivia, and Costa Rica. In 2024, Galaxy Expeditions was named Best Luxury Cruise Operator in Galapagos, Ecuador by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards.
