9 Best Galapagos Cruises for Adventure, Wildlife, & Luxury | Condé Nast Traveler

"Uncruise’s weeklong itinerary aboard this 48‑passenger yacht visits seven islands with floor‑to‑ceiling windows, a sundeck, fitness center, and hot tub; it isn’t the newest or most luxurious ship in the Galapagos, but it’s comfortable and recently refurbished. You’ll have everything needed for an all‑out adventure—kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling and scuba gear, plus a glass‑bottom boat—while nature and wildlife stay front and center. Hike Dragon Hill on Isla Santa Cruz in search of iguanas and flamingos, paddleboard alongside sea lions at Isla Floreana, and wander a secluded white‑sand beach; if you think cruising isn’t your thing, Uncruise might change your mind." - Meena Thiruvengadam, Paris Wilson
