Exclusive Guide Ratio

Exclusive Guide Ratio
Cruises Featuring Smaller Groups Per Guide

Below is a list of all Galapagos cruises that offer an Exclusive Guide Ratio and their corresponding departures. The Galapagos National Park Authority mandates that 1 naturalist guide accompany every 16 passengers on a Galapagos cruise. 1-16 is the standard ratio. Given this ratio, the majority of cruises will have a maximum capacity of 16 passengers. Nevertheless, a few cruises that are looking for a more exclusive level of guidance will offer an improved ratio. For example, Infinity Galapagos yacht has a capacity of 20 passengers, the improved ratio for Infinity Galapagos Yacht would be 1 to 10. This is part of a few cruises that are looking to provide an extra value for their customers, alongside free services, and other premiums that elevate the Galapagos cruising experience. If you appreciate a smaller group with your Galapagos naturalist guide, then an exclusive guide ratio will ensure a more personalized guided experience, while exploring all the many wonders Galapagos has in store for you.

Can I know in advanced the guide ratio aboard a cruise?

With the maximum number of passengers that are permitted to board a Galapagos cruise, it is possible to estimate the number of passengers that will be assigned to each guide. It is presumed that all of the available seats for the departure have been reserved. There is a possibility that the number of guests will change if the cruise departs with a smaller number of passengers.

Do smaller groups mean better guidance?

This is not required. Guides in the Galapagos Islands are trained to manage large groups of people, which means that even the largest groups of sixteen guests are able to receive high-quality guidance. On the other hand, one could argue that a more focused and individualized experience will be provided to you by a smaller group. Therefore, it is a matter of your own personal preferences.
