Location and setting

Ecoventura operates exclusively in the Galápagos archipelago, Ecuador, exploring the Galápagos National Park—one of the first UNESCO World Heritage sites. The three yachts depart from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristóbal Island and traverse the island network, visiting remote locations via kayak, panga (small motorboat), and on foot. Voyages focus on the exceptional local flora and fauna, including marine iguanas, sea lions, and native bird species, with shore excursions led by professional naturalist guides.

Vessels and accommodation

The fleet comprises three ultra-modern yachts—Origin, Theory, and Evolve by Ecoventura—each designed to minimize environmental impact while maintaining luxury standards. Every vessel accommodates exactly twenty travelers, enabling intimate expeditions throughout the seven-night cruise. Guest accommodations include thirty rooms; the Deluxe Stateroom, measuring thirteen square meters, features one King bed and provides the standard for onboard comfort.

Activities and experiences

Daily activities center on exploring the islands and marine environment. Guests kayak and paddleboard in calm waters, observing wildlife and accessing remote coves. Snorkeling excursions offer encounters with native sea turtles, sea lions, and marine iguanas in both shallow and deeper waters. Walking expeditions reveal lava fields, mountainous terrain, secluded beaches, and diverse species; glass-bottom boat tours allow observation of underwater life without entering the water. Birdwatching and dolphin-and-whale-watching expeditions are organized throughout seven-night voyages, accompanied throughout by trained naturalist guides.

Dining and culinary experiences

All meals are served onboard in the hotel restaurant and included in the all-inclusive package. Ecoventura offers group cooking classes led by the chef and cooking demonstrations during the cruise, allowing guests to engage directly with the culinary program.

Facilities and amenities

Each yacht provides essential wellness facilities, including a fitness room, hot tub, and solarium for relaxation between excursions. Children are welcome aboard from six years of age. The cruise operates on a fully all-inclusive basis, with excursions, naturalist guide services, meals, and onboard activities included in the booking.

Who it suits

Ecoventura appeals to independent travelers and couples prioritizing environmental conservation and exclusive access to a UNESCO World Heritage site. The intimate vessel size (twenty guests) and seven-night structure suit those seeking immersive natural history experiences without the scale of larger cruise operators. Families with children over six may participate, and the program's focus on naturalist expertise and wildlife observation attracts nature enthusiasts seeking guided education.
