Accommodation

The Solaris is a first-class motor yacht with an outside lounge and dining area, an inside lounge/bar area and a spacious sun deck, perfect for relaxing and observing the incredible Galapagos landscape. There are five dedicated single cabins and six twin cabins (four with a queen bed and a single bed, two with a queen bed and a sofa bed). All cabins have air conditioning and private bathrooms. Beach towels are provided and there are two sea kayaks on board for passenger use. Please note, a lot of the travelling between islands is done overnight, so some cabin noise and movement should be expected.
