Contact us for current availability.
Your Galapagos package starts with two nights in Quito, Ecuador, the World Heritage city that sits high in the Andes. You stay at a luxury hotel located near Old Town in this historic city. The day after your arrival, your tour starts with a half day city tour of Quito. As an alternative, add on a day trip to the famous Otavalo Indian Market where you can shop for high quality hand crafted items.
On the morning of your third day, you'll fly to Baltra or San Cristobal to begin your 5, 6 or 8 day Galapagos cruise aboard the luxury catamaran Ocean Spray. This 16 passenger catamaran is the newest boat sailing the Galapagos, and features private balconies off each of her nine cabins for your ultimate Galapagos cruise.
After your cruise, we fly you back to the mainland where you'll have another night to enjoy Quito and in your luxury hotel before you depart for home.
We offer various Galapagos trips aboard the Ocean Spray, ranging from 8 to 11 days. All package trips begin in Quito or Guayaquil and include your hotels and a city tour. From there you will fly to Baltra or San Cristobal and begin your cruise aboard the Ocean Spray. Please look at the MAP tab for graphic itineraries, and feel free to contact our office for details on shorter itineraries and availability.
