Saying “I do” in the middle of the infinite blue of the Pacific Ocean
In the Galapagos there is always a story to tell, a group of people marvel at the hatching of turtle eggs, a sea lion plays with its brother on the coast, an albatross lands in a ravine to rest from its flight and a couple begins the adventure of a lifetime with the most romantic sunset in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Galapagos is definitely one of the best places to get married.
A destination wedding is a charming idea, because now the ceremony no longer represents the beginning of a great adventure together, it is also the icing on the cake of a real experience in a new and beautiful place with the people who love you most.
And we cannot imagine a more significant place than the Galapagos Islands, the archipelago is made up of natural wonders and dream landscapes. White sand beaches and volcanic cliffs will be beautiful postcards and magical memories of the wedding: touring the islands before the big event with the bride’s friends or planning the last night with a couple of cocktails on the deck of the Anahí Yacht.
Here are some advantages of planning your destination wedding on a cruise in the Galapagos Islands.
An exclusive and private wedding
Now it is important that you know very well the type of wedding you would like to have; a large and lavish one or an intimate and adventurous one; Cruise weddings are intimate and exclusive, you could have the yacht just for you and the people who have been invited to live the adventure away from the hubbub of traditional weddings.
They will live unforgettable adventures
When you choose a Galapagos cruise tour or if you charter the yacht for your destination wedding, you can take the itinerary of the days you will be on board. Thus, before and after the wedding, you and your guests will take exciting excursions to get to know and explore the destination. In the morning you can walk through paths of green vegetation and admire the turtles crossing from one side to the other and in the afternoon you will immerse yourself in the sea to snorkel with tropical fish.
They will have an unforgettable ceremony
Evenings are often magical in the Galapagos and a ceremony as the sun sets and colors the landscape in red and orange tones is priceless. Saying yes in this romantic setting can be, perhaps, the most beautiful moment of a whole week of celebrating your destination wedding.
A destination wedding is a personalized experience
The Yate Anahí crew always offers a highly personalized service. They will be willing to meet your demands and needs at every point on the boat; Every detail you request will be carefully attended to to make your destination wedding the most memorable experience.
Friendly with destiny

The memory of a unique destination wedding
Imagine the beautiful and unique memories you will have from your wedding. The photographs will be impressive, the sea and the sunset in the background while your family and friends smile, applaud and celebrate. They will surely enter the top of the best moments that you, your partner and their friends will experience.
With all these benefits (which could be more) we also leave you some points that you should consider before planning your destination wedding on a cruise in the Galapagos Islands.
1- The wedding date
The Galapagos has two climatic seasons, which although they are quite similar, can slightly alter the scenario you expect from the Islands, if you are looking for species to be everywhere or if you are looking for a little more heat.
This guide to Galapagos weather can help you choose a date appropriately.
2- Take help from an expert
To avoid piling up on things at the wedding, you can seek the help of an expert that the same agency recommends to take care of all the small details that can throw everything out of control on the wedding day. Also go to the expert if you are looking to add experiences or Do you have any special requests?
3- Organize the activities of the Guests
The best thing about a destination wedding is that the celebration is not limited to the ceremony, but rather the couple can celebrate their love as much as they want, so there will be meals and excursions that will be done in their name. Luckily, at Yate Anahí we have programmed itineraries that can be taken to facilitate the planning of each guest.
4- Book in advance and inform guests
We have to be honest about this. It is important to reserve the date and number of passengers in advance in case they do not choose to charter the yacht, so the wedding operation will be done according to all their needs and the guests can organize their agendas and passports if needed. Time is the most important factor when it comes to a destination wedding.
5- Respect for local culture
Getting married in a different place away from everyday reality is the best thing about a destination wedding; explore and soak up new and diverse cultures, learn about new customs and environmentally friendly ways of life that could make more than one guest fall in love.
6- The long-awaited wedding photos
This theme is definitely one of the most important of the wedding, because when the festivities are over and you sit together on a soft sofa to remember your wedding, you will surely want each photograph to have captured the magical moment that it was.
You can ask our travel agent to advise you with some outside ceremony photographer options that are really good. Although, the truth is we always prefer our own production team who, if they like, can document their entire experience and thus have memories of the complete experience that will be available for when they want to remember the most beautiful days of their lives.
Finally, we want to tell you that there is nothing like sharing beautiful moments with the ones who love you and starting the adventure of life together with an aperitif as a destination wedding can only predict happiness forever. We love celebrating love and we will be eager to celebrate yours.
