Important Remarks:
Hotel Selection:
The hotel selection depends on the category of hotel that you choose (Tour Options). Once you choose the hotel class of preference, we will specify to you which hotels (belonging to the class chosen) are available for the dates of your trip. Hotels are categorized in the following classes: Economic Class, Tourist Class, Tourist Superior Class and First Class. All the hotels have been carefully chosen by us after close inspection.
Restaurants
This also depends on the chosen hotel class, as not all hotels have restaurant services. Meals are served in the “meal of the day” style; however, if you choose First Class hotels you will have more variety and gourmet-style meals. By patronizing local restaurants we contribute to the local economy and support sustainable tourism.
Guides
Guides will accompany you throughout all excursions and visits. They will not go with you on the speedboats between islands either. Guides are certified by the Galapagos National Park - if you feel that their guidance does not meet your expectations, feel free to leave a complaint at the National Park Direction to help improve the quality of service in the islands.
Public Speedboats
It is recommended that you take a seasickness pill if you are sensitive to sea-sickness before each ride between islands. It is also recommended that you carry on small plastic bags in case of seasickness.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelers

Sierra Negra Volcano hike and Galapagos turtles in the highlands

Robert_C, Mar 2020

Enjoyed the activities. The meals were very good. The speed boat ride from Santa Cruz to Isabella can be a little rough on those who get seasick. Hotels were nice. Our guide wasn’t at the airport when we arrived, but after a call to the office, he arrived in 10 min. Sierra Negra hike was 16km long. Need to take extra water, but it’s worth it. Views were amazing.

I loved this tour. It was a different...

Sandra C., Oct 2017

I loved this tour. It was a different way to visit the Galapagos as you'd normally think that it needs to be visited on a cruise. The hotels where I stayed were clean, pretty, well located and the host were very friendly. The food was super tasty. This tour covers the highlights of both Islands. The visit to the Volcano Sierra Negra was incredible. It's a great experience to walk this huge volcano. During this 4-Day tour I saw so many animal and beautiful nature. The gigantic tortures are something incredible. I highly recommend this tour if you're thinking about visiting the Galapagos!!
