Making a Difference

Number of employees: 50

Percentage of local employees: 88 %

Angermeyer Cruises - Andando Tours is a Galapagos-based business that operates out of the islands. We have more than 40 years of experience taking passengers on our safe, classic sailing excursions that comply with conservation laws and regulations.

Some of the ways that we contribute to conservation and local development:

• Using local labor.
• Using best practices to reduce impact on the environment.
• Buying products that are made locally on the islands.
• Managing social responsibility projects for local residents who work in extractive activities or have low income, to integrate them into tourism-related activities, increase their income, and involve them in environmental stewardship.
