Galápagos Cruise Ports

The Galápagos holds 35 cruise ports, 27% of the 129 in South America. 4 of them are departure ports. The most visited cruise port in the Galápagos sub-region is also its busiest departure port: Baltra, Galapagos, appearing in 830 upcoming itineraries.

By port count it ranks 2nd of 2 sub-regions in South America, behind South America at 94. Every port here is in Ecuador.

The Galapagos are cruised on small expedition vessels rather than large ships, and the itineraries are set by the national park rather than by the operator. Baltra is where most trips begin, after a flight from Quito or Guayaquil. Nearly every other entry here is a landing site rather than a port, which is why the list runs long while the ports themselves are tiny.
