Archipel I Catamaran
The Galapagos Islands – Ecuador
Experience the Galapagos Islands the most comfort way you can imagine! Get on board of our First-Class Catamaran and enjoy the cruise to the most beautiful places of the Islands. We are proud to offer special locations besides the normal cruise routes e.g. The Island Genovesa; This Island is known as Bird Island, because of the large and varied bird colonies which nest here. The construction of the Catamaran allows reducing the swell of the sea. So, you can enjoy the Excitement of a Cruise combined with the comfort of a hotel. The crew is composed out of 7 members of the catamaran and one naturalist bilingual guide.
