PrintGalápagos Islands Sailing Multi-Sport - Overview
There's nothing quite like an adventure in Ecuador's Galápagos Islands. Blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, friendly sea lions, giant tortoises, Darwin’s finches, penguins, expansive beaches, lingering sunsets, gourmet cuisine and outstanding adventure— all await you on our private first-class catamaran sailing and multisport vacation in the Galápagos Islands.
Enjoy exotic and abundant wildlife and unique, scenic locations—without the crowds as we island hop through the volcanic Galápagos Islands Archipelago on an 80-ft, 12-passenger, wide and stable catamaran. Days are spent swimming nose-to-nose with friendly and playful sea lions, snorkeling and kayaking with sea turtles and observing breath-taking marine, bird and wildlife. Additional Galápagos vacation activities may include horseback riding, hiking or surfing. Evenings feature plenty of time to lounge aboard our private yacht while savoring delightful regional cuisine prepared fresh daily by a talented chef.

“The trip was handled professionally from start to finish. The entire trip was a Wow!, from iguanas to snorkeling with sharks and everything in between. The guides were outstanding in their knowledge, experience and overall ability to put together such an outstanding trip. It was a stellar trip, our best adventure ever! We're still raving about it to our friends and booking our next O.A.R.S. trip now.
The guides provided adventure with a capital A for our 13 year old yet still kept conservative old Mom in on all the action and Dad participated in everything. It was truly an amazing trip and has opened our eyes to other opportunities for travel. (my husband never goes anywhere and we think we've got him hooked now!) Thanks for providing us such a unique opportunity! I've got to say I can usually find something to improve upon with everything but this Galapagos trip would be tough to beat.
We can't say enough good things! It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Our guide, James, had a fabulous underwater camera and is putting together a disk for us to view our waterbased activities!!!!! I don't think we've ever been as excited about a trip! Even my husband was animated, which doesn't happen too often!”

“I have a bad habit of building up my expectations going into a trip like this only to be let down, but that was not the case on this trip. It exceded my expectations and then some. While the Galapagos Islands are an amazing destination, my sense is that it can be a little tricky to navigate the local geography and weather not to mention the politics. Our guides did it seamlessly. My dad, my brother, and I have been talking about going to the Galapagos for over 20 years - it was great!”
