Hotel & Tour Packages

By far the best way to experience Galapagos from Santa Cruz Island, in the heart of the archipelago, is to combine visits to wildlife hotspots on outlying islands, as well as local sites. Our packages are a convenient choice as we do all the planning and organising, meaning you can just arrive and enjoy!

Semilla Verde’s semi inclusive packages are by far our most popular request and have been designed to give you maximum exposure to Galapagos in a short visit, typically from two to ten nights, in a tight, affordable bundle.They include your hotel accommodation, the very best visits to nearby islands via full day boat tours and the must-dos of Santa Cruz via half day guided tours and self guided activities. Meals are included at the hotel when convenient and of course, private airport transfers.

Day Tours To Outlying Islands

The more popular islands to visit via day tours are Bartolome, North Seymour, South Plazas, and Santa Fe.

Semilla Verde contracts local tour operators that offer half-day or day-long tours in small launches to the islands and attractions around Santa Cruz. These are an excellent way of seeing the variety of volcanic landscapes and wildlife that Galapagos has to offer. Travel time to each island varies between half-an-hour and three hours. They normally last all day and include a land visit and snorkeling. A qualified naturalist guide will lead the tour and lunch is also provided. You may also charter your own private boat and naturalist guide if you would prefer not to share with other tourists.

Important: Please note that we cannot guarantee availability of day tours to other islands as these services are contracted via third parties and depend on their availability. Nor can we guarantee quality of naturalist guides or other elements provided directly by these third party operators. However, tours on Santa Cruz Island are organized directly by Semilla Verde. Lunches are included on day tours to outlying islands. Lunchtime and evening meals on Santa Cruz-based days can be arranged in town or, with notice, at Semilla Verde.

Una de las mejores experiencias en nuestro viaje. Un hotel con sus tortugas gigantes y su propio café, la habitación gigante, walk in closet, maderas nobles, comedor y sala donde compartir con los demás pasajeros, jardines y senderos para perderse... maravilloso.
