While many travelers know Miami as a hub for large cruise ships, those seeking a more intimate adventure in the Galapagos Islands can look to Visiting Galapagos.

This Ecuadorian tour operator, run by a Galapagos native family, offers three distinct first-class vessels: the Calipso, a diving yacht designed for underwater exploration; the Letty, a naturalist cruise for in-depth itineraries; and the Narel, which operates daily tours for flexible island visits.

The recently renewed Yacht Letty is central to the company’s offering. With a capacity for 16 passengers, the vessel features eight oceanfront cabins—four with panoramic windows on the upper deck and four twin cabins with portholes on the lower deck. Its itineraries, which range from five to 15 days, highlight some of the most striking and wildlife-rich locations in the archipelago.

On board, guests can enjoy spacious lounge areas, buffet-style dining, snacks, complimentary soft drinks, and satellite Wi-Fi. The sundeck provides a place to relax while spotting tropical birds or admiring volcanic scenery. For added exploration, snorkeling gear, wetsuits, and sea kayaks are included at no extra cost.

By combining carefully planned itineraries, comfortable vessels, and attentive service, Visiting Galapagos delivers a tailored way to experience the islands.
