Galapagos Islands
Ecuador | Tour ref: GA
In Darwin’s footsteps
The Galapagos Islands are a nature lover’s paradise where the animals have no fear of humans. Swim and snorkel with penguins and turtles as friendly sea lions twist and turn around you and their inquisitive pups frolic in the surf. On land step over clumps of tightly packed marine iguanas, marvel at the size of the giant tortoises and watch the blue-footed boobies dance whilst pterodactyl-like frigate birds soar overhead. A trip to the islands is one of the most unforgettable experiences you are ever likely to have.
Colonial Quito
On mainland Ecuador explore the grandiose colonial buildings of Quito and visit the equator. You’ll also have the option to take in the amazing Otavalo market or impressive Cotopaxi Volcano, a stark contrast to the tranquil islands of the Galapagos.
Galapagos Tax and Control Card
On our trips to the Galapagos Islands, there is a charge of US$100 (approx. £50) tax per person payable on arrival in the Galapagos Islands. also to control traffic to the Galapagos there is a Galapagos Transit Control Card which costs US$10 per person. The application will be processed for you, but the card has to be collecte in person on tour. Therefore the total cost payable locally is US$110.
Luxury Yacht
In the Galapagos we normally use the Galapagos Odyssey which is a luxuary class motor cruiser, custom designed exclusively for cruising the Galapagos archipelago. The Galapagos Odyssey boasts a crew of 10, plus a naturalist guide and carries 16 passengers within 10 single, twin or double cabins, each with private facilities. There is a spacious lounge, dining area, shaded terrace for al-fresco dining, sun deck, jacuzzi and indoor and outdoor bars.
