Cruise around the Galapagos on the Solaris, a first-class motor yacht overseen by 10 crew members. On top is a spacious sundeck (come here for stretching views over the Pacific Ocean and islands) with sun loungers, a dining table and barbecue area. 



Inside, there’s a lounge with a stocked bar and another dining space. Additionally, the vessel has 11 cabins: five singles and six twins (four with a queen bed and a single bed, two with a queen bed and a sofa bed); all have air conditioning and private bathrooms. 



The experience is undoubtedly enhanced by the on-board naturalist, an expert on the wildlife of the Galapagos. The vessel also has four double sea kayaks and snorkeling equipment, which we can use on guided adventures.

Worth knowing 



There are five dedicated single cabins on the Solaris; these can be booked by solo travellers with no additional supplement for the cabin.

Travelling between islands is often done overnight, so expect some cabin noise and movement.
