“David is incredibly responsive and organized our logistics flawlessly. Terrazas de Mindo lodge is beautiful and very birdy, with wonderful cuisine, and staff attentive and genuinely kind. Our Galapagos cruise was magical.”
DMKap · North Carolina · Tripadvisor“After we had booked the tour, the cruise company decided to cancel all cruises… David promptly contacted me and offered to find alternate ships. Within 15 minutes, he came up with 3 other cruises that matched our needs and dates.”
vimalp · California · Tripadvisor“We used Dana tours to arrange our cruise to Galápagos Islands and our travel from Quito to Mindo with our stay at Las Terrazas de Dana… We couldn’t have been more pleased. Excellent, Prompt and honest communication and we had an unforgettable experience!”

Yes. Every cruise includes complimentary nights at the lodge (usually 2–3, more on request) with breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus private transfers between Quito and Mindo.

Start with your available travel days, then compare the islands visited, arrival and departure airports, and available sailing dates. Tell us which places interest you and we’ll help narrow the options.
Walks, terrain and landings vary between visitor sites. Some involve uneven ground or stepping into shallow water. Tell us about any mobility concerns so we can review the specific route and available arrangements with the operator.
Tell us your preferred deck and bed arrangement. We’ll check availability and confirm your cabin details before you commit.
We recommend booking them with us, together with your cruise. Many yachts ask their guests to fly on the flights they reserve, because the crew meets the group at the Galápagos airport and the timing has to match the itinerary. You get assistance at the airport in Quito or Guayaquil on the day you fly, and we book your Galápagos flights at the net fare the cruise operator gives us. We also recommend arriving in Ecuador two days before your Galápagos flight, in case your international flight is delayed or canceled.

Arrival or departure at Baltra Airport. We will confirm flight and transfer arrangements with your cruise offer.

Carrion Point, Punta Carrión, is a sheltered cove at the eastern mouth of the Itabaca Channel, the narrow strait between Santa Cruz and Baltra. Its calm, turquoise water and its closeness to Baltra airport make it a favorite snorkeling stop on the first or last day of a cruise.

El Barranco, better known as Prince Philip's Steps, is the second visitor site on Genovesa, named after Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who visited the island. The panga brings you to the foot of the cliff for a dry landing, and a steep stairway cut into the rock, with a handrail, climbs about 25 meters (80 feet) to the top.

Darwin Bay is the coral-sand beach inside Genovesa's caldera, where the island's bird colonies come right down to the shore. The pangas land you directly on the sand (a wet landing), and an easy trail of about two hours leads along the beach, through saltbush and mangroves, past tide pools and up to a viewpoint over the cliffs and the bay.

Rábida, a small island south of Santiago, is famous for its red beach, colored by the iron in the volcanic rock, one of the most photographed landscapes in the Galápagos. The visit begins with a wet landing on the maroon sand, usually shared with a colony of Galápagos sea lions.

The walk on Bartolomé is one of the classic moments of a Galápagos cruise: the climb to the summit for the most photographed view in the islands, and a swim beside Pinnacle Rock. A dry landing at a small dock leads to a trail of about 600 meters to the top, 114 meters (375 feet) above the sea.

El Chato is a private reserve in the highlands of Santa Cruz, near the village of Santa Rosa, and one of the best places in the Galápagos to see giant tortoises in the wild. The farm lies on the route the tortoises have followed for generations between the dry coast and the green highlands, and they wander freely through its pastures, ponds and forest.

Black Turtle Cove is a mangrove lagoon on the north shore of Santa Cruz, a nursery for many of the creatures of the Galápagos seas. There is no landing: the visit is a quiet panga ride, often with the engine turned off, as the guide paddles or drifts through the channels between the red mangroves.

Vicente Roca Point, on the northwest coast of Isabela at the foot of Ecuador Volcano, is one of the most spectacular marine sites in the Galápagos. There is no landing: the visit combines a panga ride along towering cliffs of tuff, ash and lava, carved by the sea into caves and arches, with snorkeling in a sheltered cove.

Espinosa Point, on the northeast tip of Fernandina, faces Isabela across the Bolívar Channel and is the main visitor site of the youngest island of the Galápagos. The landscape is almost entirely black lava, and the wildlife is found in a density few places can match.

Urbina Bay, on the west coast of Isabela at the foot of Alcedo Volcano, is a place where you can walk on the old sea floor. In 1954 an uplift raised a section of the coast, including a coral reef, by four to five meters (13 to 16 feet) almost overnight, leaving corals, shells and the remains of marine animals stranded on dry land, where they can still be seen today.

Tagus Cove, on the west coast of Isabela, is a deep, sheltered bay that has served as an anchorage since the days of pirates and whalers. On its cliffs, sailors painted and carved the names of their ships, a tradition that began in the 1830s and is now protected as part of the islands' history; adding new names is forbidden.

Puerto Egas, on James Bay on the west coast of Santiago, is one of the most varied visits in the central islands. The panga lands on a beach of black volcanic sand, in a wet landing, below the old salt mine crater.

Sullivan Bay, on the east coast of Santiago, is a walk across one of the youngest and most beautiful lava fields in the Galápagos. The lava flowed here in the second half of the 1800s, and the surface is still almost bare: a shining black landscape of pahoehoe, the smooth, ropy lava that forms when molten rock cools in folds and twists.

Bachas Beach, on the north shore of Santa Cruz, is a wide beach of soft white sand and one of the most important nesting sites in the Galápagos for the Pacific green sea turtle. Its name comes from the Second World War: when the United States left its base on nearby Baltra, two barges were abandoned here, and the local pronunciation of 'barges' became Bachas.
