Highlights of the Golondrina Yacht
- The Golondrina yacht is the more basic of our Galapagos cruise yacht options, but does offer excellent economical prices, and is often popular with our past clients.
- It does still offer all of the same basic services as other yachts, such as hot water, air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and comfortable social areas.
- The Golondrina practices ecological waste on board, demonstrating their committment to the environment in the Galapagos National Park.
- This yacht runs a varied selection of 4, 5 and 8 day itineraries, that can also be combined into longer 12 and 15 day cruises for a real in-depth Galapagos trip!

Jonathan Tapia helped organise our trip to the Galapagos Islands, which was something I had dreamed of doing since I was a child. He was awesome and very patient with me (as I wasn't 100% sure which of the trips to …
I booked a 'late-minute' 8D/7N cruise on Golondrina through Happy Gringo for me and a friend. Carmen was very helpful, providing several options for the type of trip we were hoping for and explaining the proces…
The yacht, rooms, food and staff were all great! I would recommend against doing 5 day itinerary "H" though because the first night in the hotel takes time away from the tour and is a raw deal.
Our 8 day Galapagos cruise on the Golondrina was fantastic. The yacht was lovely with good facilities and with 14 people aboard it was the perfect size group to get to know our fellow passengers
The accommodation, guide, activities, menu and whole experience was awesome, no complaints, only praise! Everything was smooth and fun. Thank you thank you for a memorable trip.
