Galápagos Islands Adventure Begins! In Part 1 of our 4-part Galápagos cruise series, we travel from Quito, Ecuador, to the world-famous Galápagos Islands to begin an unforgettable adventure. Our journey starts with the flight from Quito to the Galápagos before arriving in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. Along the way, we check into the beautiful Hilton Galapagos Royal Palm, explore the unique landscapes that make the Galápagos one of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth, and enjoy a memorable dining experience inside a natural lava tunnel. Before boarding our cruise ship, we spend time discovering Puerto Ayora, the largest town in the Galápagos Islands, where wildlife encounters are part of everyday life. From marine iguanas and sea lions to blue-footed boobies and other endemic species, the Galápagos offers incredible opportunities to experience nature up close.
