Galapatours was founded in 2017 by Benno Schmidt after he personally explored the Galapagos and realized how difficult it was for travelers to compare boats transparently. Determined to solve this, he built a platform offering real photos, route details, sustainability information and honest evaluations. What began as a passion project evolved into the leading independent resource for booking Galapagos cruises with clarity and confidence.
