Introducing Our Updated Galapagos Trips!
We have updated our Galapagos Islands trips and added 3 new small-group departures, in conjunction with our local partners in Ecuador.
We have chosen to base these trips in hotel accommodation, on multiple islands, instead of staying on board a boat the whole time. You still get to see and experience all the same wildlife, and there will be plenty of boat trips included whilst travelling between the islands and on your daily activities. We feel that staying on the islands gives you a chance to see a bit more of local life in the evenings, puts more money into the local economy than being on a boat all the time and offers the opportunity to partake in more land based activities, exploring the islands in more depth.
