Below is a list of all Galapagos cruises that enforce green practices and their corresponding departures. To a large extent, the Galapagos National Park requires that all cruises operating in the Galapagos Islands adhere to environmentally responsible practices. Some examples include an established period of time set for each visit point in order to minimize the impact on the island, the correct disposal of waste, the enforcement of specified trails by authorized naturalist guides, and so on. As a matter of fact, entering the Galapagos and the fees you are paying already contribute to the sustainability of the Galapagos Islands. By going the extra mile, a few Galapagos cruises will contribute to conservation efforts in the Galapagos Islands, as well as local communities, schools, and other organizations. Each and every one of the Galapagos cruise departures that are listed below are cruises that go beyond what is necessary with their conservation efforts.
