A honeymoon in the Galapagos will be one of the most interesting and unique experiences of your life and if you’re reading this then you should just go ahead and book it because you won’t be disappointed. Of course if you’re afraid of boats or couldn’t see yourself sleeping in one for a couple of weeks then you should probably reconsider because all of the Galapagos is a nature preserve and there are no hotels built anywhere on the islands. In fact, there are very few structures period so you’d really be getting back to nature. It’s exceptionally secluded.
What you do is book a tour with a company that provides you a place to stay on a yacht. They don’t do cruises because those boats are just too big and would disrupt the wildlife, which is the inspiration for the ban on the building of any structures on the islands. The wide variety of creatures you’ll see in the Galapagos along with the secluded beaches is what makes such a trip a dream though. Obviously it’s not for everyone but you will remember the experience for the rest of your life if you choose to go.

You can essentially choose the level of luxury you’d like to experience on your tour of the Galapagos. If you want a big room with beautiful accommodations then you go with one of the lower passenger yachts. The lowest they seem to have is 12 people plus crew. You get lots of space and few people so if you’re into a secluded and personal trip that would be the way to go. They also have yachts with up to 50 people (rarely more than that) if you want a more social experience.
Some of the Galapagos tours will combine with trips elsewhere, like a stop in Ecuador or Peru. You can mix and match as you see fit and there will plenty of ways to make your dream come true. There’s a ton of fun to be had on the islands though. It’s one of the top destinations in the world for nature lovers because of the undisturbed animals that you get to witness and the huge variety. You wouldn’t believe the different and varying species that live on the islands. It’s just incredible.
There are many different ways to see the animals on your Galapagos tour. You can kayak, snorkel, hike, swim or simple sit on the beaches and look out at the ocean. You can stay on the boat and look through binoculars if you don’t want to disembark. You have choice and that’s a wonderful thing. Your tour can be whatever you want. It will be a dream come true though, especially for those that love the beauty of nature and like a little adventure. The folks that take you on these tours are experts and will share their vast knowledge of the area and all the creatures that inhabit it. You’ll find that they greatly enhance your experience and make your trip something far more wonderful than you thought it might have been.
