A quirky and unique honeymoon idea
Planning a honeymoon in a destination that offers breathtaking natural beauty, unique wildlife encounters, and unparalleled tranquillity? Look no further than the Galapagos Islands.
This extraordinary archipelago promises an unforgettable honeymoon experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
The Galapagos Islands, renowned for inspiring Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, boast an abundance of endemic species and awe-inspiring landscapes. Your mornings will be filled with exhilarating snorkelling sessions, where you'll swim alongside playful sea lions, graceful sea turtles, and an array of vibrant tropical fish.
As the sun climbs higher, it’s a great time for hiking, traversing rugged volcanic terrains adorned with cacti and lava formations. Witness the iconic Galapagos giant tortoises in their natural habitat, observing their slow yet majestic movements. These gentle creatures have roamed the islands for centuries, becoming symbols of resilience and longevity.
In the afternoons, enjoy leisurely strolls on pristine beaches, hand in hand with your loved one, while marine iguanas lazily bask in the sun nearby. Secluded coves offer the perfect backdrop for romantic picnics, surrounded by the rhythmic crashing of waves and the melodies of exotic birdlife.
Indulge in delectable cuisine inspired by Ecuadorian flavours, prepared by talented chefs who specialise in creating unforgettable dining experiences. Enjoy freshly caught seafood as you watch the sun paint the sky with hues of orange and pink during a mesmerizing sunset.
Whether it's swimming with vibrant marine life, hiking through otherworldly landscapes, or simply being immersed in the unspoiled beauty of the islands, the Galapagos will forever hold a special place in your hearts.
Just like the diverse wildlife of the Galapagos, your honeymoon experience can be customised to suit your preferences. Tailor-made itineraries including secluded eco-lodges and expert naturalist guides at your disposal to ensure every aspect of your honeymoon is perfect.

FAQs About Your Galapagos Honeymoons Holiday
Planning a holiday to Galapagos Honeymoons? Our experts share advice on everything from what to pack, when to go, to tips for families, covering the questions we get asked the most.
Is the Galápagos a good honeymoon destination?
Yes, the Galápagos is a unique honeymoon choice for couples who love nature and adventure. Instead of a traditional beach escape, you’ll snorkel with sea turtles, walk alongside iguanas, and relax in boutique lodges or luxury yachts. It’s intimate, different, and unforgettable.
What’s the best time of year for a honeymoon in the Galápagos?
December to May is ideal, with calm seas, warm weather, and excellent snorkelling conditions. This season suits couples wanting comfort and romance combined with wildlife. June to November offers richer marine life and fewer crowds, perfect for adventurous couples. Both seasons offer extraordinary experiences.
Can we combine relaxation and adventure in the Galápagos?
Yes, the Galápagos is perfect for mixing exploration with relaxation. Couples can spend mornings snorkelling or hiking, then unwind with sunset views from a yacht or boutique lodge. Adding time on mainland Ecuador, or even the Ecuadorian cloud forest, provides a balance of soft adventure and quiet retreat.
What romantic experiences can we include?
Romantic highlights include private zodiac cruises at sunset, stargazing from a yacht, or enjoying a beach walk with only sea lions for company. Couples can also request private dinners at lodges or cabins with panoramic views. The setting naturally creates a sense of intimacy.
Are there luxury cruises and lodges for honeymoons?
Yes, the Galápagos has superb luxury options. Yachts like Origin and Theory offer spacious cabins, fine dining, and personalised service. On land, boutique eco-lodges provide stylish suites and private villas. Both options allow couples to enjoy comfort while staying immersed in the islands’ wild beauty.
How much does a honeymoon in the Galápagos cost?
Expect prices from £4,500–£6,500 per person for a week-long honeymoon cruise, excluding international flights. Luxury yachts or private charters cost more. Land-based stays are often more affordable, but still premium. The investment is worthwhile for a honeymoon that feels once-in-a-lifetime.
Can we combine the Galápagos with another destination?
Yes, many couples add time in Ecuador, visiting Quito, the cloud forest, or the Amazon before or after the islands. Some also extend to Peru for Machu Picchu. These combinations balance adventure and culture with the unique Galápagos experience.
What makes the Galápagos unique for honeymoons?
The Galápagos offers experiences you simply can’t have elsewhere: snorkelling with sea lions, walking beside giant tortoises, and exploring landscapes untouched by mass tourism. It’s a honeymoon that blends intimacy with discovery, creating memories that feel entirely your own.
