Spirit, Vision, Passion: The Metropolitan Touring difference

The travel business is a people business. Bricks and mortar, steel hulls and motors, fine linens and bone china are important, but at the end of the day, it’s the local knowledge of the guides, the warmth and sincerity of the staff, the human bond, that make the difference. For over 70 years, we have had the pleasure of sharing transformational journeys with our guests, pampering them, protecting them and accompanying them on fascinating adventures. Each guest is unique, like the iconic locations that we feature on all of our voyages. Each journey is a story, and as your story is woven into ours, we create lifelong bonds

In many ways, our company’s origins as the pioneers of travel in the Galapagos Islands have set our course over the last decades. The fragility, the specialness, the singularity of the islands and their wildlife have formed our belief in a travel experience that is founded on respectful contact with the natural world, filled with interpretation, understanding and a long-term vision – and, of course, fun!

We own and operate a trio of vessels: the brand-new Santa Cruz II, offering contemporary style and flexible travel arrangements for 90 guests, including solo travellers; yacht Isabela II, the perfect, intimate space for 40 guests to explore the islands in relaxed comfort; and Yacht La Pinta, a sophisticated, upscale travel experience for 48 guests. And for those who prefer the conveniences of a hotel and want to experience Galapagos on their own terms, we offer our newly renovated Finch Bay Eco Hotel, the only beachfront hotel on Santa Cruz Island, with activities and relaxation for everyone. All of our expeditions offer carefully designed itineraries to help you see the most of the Big 15 wildlife and world-class service and gastronomy that take your expedition to another level.
