Galapagos Islands cruises versus land tours: Which one is right for me?

If you’re seeking an immersive travel experience where you can make the most of your time, an expedition cruise is the best way to see the Galapagos. You’ll travel overnight, waking up in a new location each day, visiting remote areas not accessible on day tours.

The top Galapagos Islands cruises take only a small number of passengers and are inclusive of your naturalist-guided excursions, all meals and boarding, and the comfort and luxury of your catamaran.

However, if you are on a tighter budget or have concerns about seasickness, you may prefer a land-based experience. Hotels can be found on several islands, including Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal and Isabela.

Mate is more than just a drink, it’s a South American tradition. Made by steeping yerba mate leaves in hot water and sipped through a metal straw called a bombilla, it’s especially popular in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil. A simple ritual that’s all about slowing down, connecting and sharing the moment.

For all those lucky travellers heading to Antarctica this season, here is your packing list!

Clothing for onboard the ship
Expedition cruising is a casual affair. You don’t need to dress up for dinner (unless you want to). A few pairs of trousers and t-shirts will be fine. Remember the ship is heated, so you won’t need as many jumpers or warm clothing as you think!

Clothing for excursions off the ship
Waterproof trousers are a must. You cannot ride a zodiac without these. Most expedition cruises will provide you withwaterproof, windproof outer shell jacket and waterproof boots. So you just need thermal underwear, thermal socks, gloves, hats & neck protection.

Swim wear
You might be thinking you would leave these at home, but most ships have hot tubs! Or for those brave people who want to do the polar plunge into the icy Antarctic waters!

Sunscreen
Even though it’s cold, when the sun is out it can still burn. Remember to always apply sunscreen when going on excursions.

Camera
Even if it is just your mobile phone - you will want to capture the beauty of Antarctica. You also want to bring spare batteries & memory cards.

A flexible attitude
Plans can change with the weather in Antarctica. Being flexible with changes will allow you to enjoy your time rather than focus on negatives.
