Onboard, guests can enjoy a variety of exciting activities such as guided hikes, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and daily excursions around the stunning Galapagos Islands, all led by bilingual, expert naturalist guides who share their knowledge of the islands’ unique wildlife. In addition to comfort, the yacht offers 360-degree panoramic views of the Galapagos Islands. The Bonita Yacht is renovated annually to maintain peak condition, ensuring every journey is memorable.

Zodiac boat tours and water-based activities are an essential part of the experience, with free access to snorkeling equipment, wetsuits, and paddleboards.

Onboard, chefs prepare delicious international and local dishes. Bonita Yacht is the perfect place for families and adventure seekers looking to explore the natural wonders of the Galapagos Islands with comfort and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests does Bonita carry?

16 guests in air-conditioned cabins, each with a private hot-water bathroom, served by a crew of 8 plus a bilingual naturalist guide.

Do the cabins have air conditioning and private bathrooms?

Yes — every cabin is air-conditioned and has a private hot-water bathroom.

Is there a naturalist guide on board?

Yes. A bilingual (English/Spanish) Galápagos National Park naturalist guide leads every excursion.

What activities are included?

Snorkeling (gear provided), panga rides, guided nature hikes, kayaking and beach visits — all led by your naturalist guide.

When is the best time to go?
