Your Tour of the Islands Currently we offer 2 different Galápagos itineraries. Both of our programs have a very strong Natural History focus, and spend either 11 or 15 full days aboard the yacht, allowing you to visit the significant outer islands, and allowing for a maximum of wildlife observation. First however we have to get you to the islands... |

Sample Itinerary DAY 1: The trip begins in Quito, Ecuador. On arrival (typically in the evening), you will be met and transferred directly to the HOTEL MERCURE ALAMEDA where we will spend the night. We think very highly of the HOTEL MERCURE ALAMEDA. It is said that, of the finer hotels in Quito, they have the most personal service. Our experiences strongly support this impression. DAY 2: After breakfast, we board a morning flight to Baltra Island in the Galápagos on TAME AIRLINES. Upon arrival we will be will be transferred to our yacht, which is waiting for us in the nearby harbor. [B, L, D] DAYS 2-12 (or DAYS 2-16 for our longer routing): We sail the waters of the Galápagos archipelago, touring a minimum of 2 Visitor Sites per day. We will visit all the significant outer islands as well as the normally toured central islands. Please see the cruise routings below for the islands and visitors sites scheduled. [B, L, D, Everyday] DAY 12 (or DAY 16 on our longer routing): After a morning tour to a Visitor Site, we will sail to Baltra Island for our mid-day TAME AIRLINES flight to Quito. On arrival (late afternoon), we will be transferred directly to the HOTEL MERCURE ALAMEDA where we will spend the night. We will have a group "farewell dinner" at one of the leading restaurants in Quito. [B, L, D] DAY 13 (or DAY 17): This is a free day. You can choose to do some shopping, local sightseeing, or perhaps a blend of the two. For those that would like to take one of several tours of Quito or the surrounding area, the manager of our sister company in Ecuador will be stopping by the hotel to discuss the departure schedules and itineraries (see our brochure, "HIGHLIGHTS OF ECUADOR"). [B] DAY 14 (or DAY 18): Transfer to the airport for your return flight home. [B] |

This is a new and improved version of our classic 11 day cruise and the basis of our other Galápagos itineraries. Faster yachts have allowed us to expand it to spend more time in the western islands |

|
 |
||||
Our 15 day cruises are the most comprehensive exploration available of the islands, and will spend a significant portion of time in the geologically-recent western islands of Isabela and Fernandina, including a horse-back ride to the rim of the Sierra Negra Volcano. |
