A multisport trip is typically a land-based trip, while naturalist and dive trips are typically yacht-based. There are certainly a few exceptions to this, such as a single-day dive trip or a yacht-based active itinerary.
On most multisport trips, you will see the famous animals but you won't see as much diversity because you won't visit as many islands. However, if you're on a multisport trip, you will spend more time outside viewing wildlife while hiking, riding bicycles and horses, sea kayaking, and snorkeling. The multisport trip can be a great option for families (though not for families with small children) or athletic travelers who may need more activity in their vacation.
A naturalist trip is typically yacht-based trip can take you to the furtherest sites and you can visit a wider variety of islands. You certainly won't be sedentary on a naturalist trip; you will be taking nature walks and have the opportunity to snorkel everyday. Additionally, some yacht-based naturalist cruises offer sea kayaks and SCUBA diving.
On a multisport or naturalist trip, if you're interested in wildlife, you certainly won't be bored. The Galapagos is an exciting destination no matter how you explore the islands.
