Galapagos Leyend Cruise
The Galapagos Legend is a high-class vessel. This for the simple reason that the equipment of the Legend corresponds to this of a luxury yacht; the prices, however, are lower and equal to those of a mid-range Galapagos tour, if you book the Legend through us.
This legendary, 100-passenger, deluxe-class vessel offers all the amenities of a large cruise liner without sacrificing the intimacy you would expect on a small sailing craft, and consequently allows you to have it all. All of the cabins and suites (many are interconnected) are outfitted with the following amenities: air-conditioning, wardrobes and private facilities offering showers, hot and cold water, hair dryer, safe deposit boxes, and other amenities. The facilities and other features include an auditorium for conferences and special group meetings, multiple social areas, special menus and activities for children, sauna, jacuzzi, massage, Ecuadorian and international specialties at the dining room, creative vegetarian menus or meals for those who have special diets, a coffee bar, swimming pool with broad sun decks and observation platforms (for whale and dolphin watching, during inter-island cruising.
Among its courteous, professional team of 55 employees are 6 multilingual naturalist guides (each speaking an average of four languages), a concierge, a chef who constantly spoils you with inventive combinations of Ecuadorian and international cuisines, and an M.D. who is always on call. Send us an email or just call and ask for our latest promotions only available here.
Galapagos Legend offers accommodation for 100 passengers
Our philosophy is based on an environment without any formalisms or strict etiquette as in other luxury vessels but maintaining some important aspects like excellence in quality services.

Additionally, if the weather is good we have the chance to walk in the surrounding areas (glacier) and to practice the technical parts of the climbing. From this altitude we can enjoy the beautiful view around Cotopaxi. After having our meals and arranging the equipment for tomorrow, we should go to bed early as we get up at midnight.
The number of days depends on acclimatization and looking for the best way for you to reach the summit, so we offer you a 3 days tour as well. The extra day will be the day of acclimatization and we will visit the surrounding area and especially a Lagoon called Limpiopungo. We sleep in tents for the first night (at the altitude of 3800m) On the next morning, we follow the program of 2 days
