Nervous about taking a cruise again, but still want to check out those century-old tortoises, far too social sea lions, and colorful blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos Islands this year? Well, you’re in luck. Two of the finest properties in the Galapagos Islands, Scalesia Lodge on Isabela Island and Finch Bay Hotel on Santa Cruz have teamed up to create an exciting 8-day land-based itinerary. The $4658 per person staring price, double occupancy, includes all lodging, meals, inter-island flights, day trips aboard Yacht Sea Lion, glamping in luxury tents up in the highlands of Isabela Island, snorkeling with sea turtles and other marine wildlife, hiking active volcanoes, and visiting the Charles Darwin Research Station and tortoise breeding facility, which I remember fondly from my travels to the islands. Not included in the price is round-trip airfare from Guayaquil or Quito to Baltra Island, entrance fee to the Galapagos Islands National Park ($100), alcohol, and tips. Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands are now open to vaccinated visitors, so if you’re ready to go, let ActiveTravels know and you’ll be on your way!

Yesterday, we discussed how to make your dream of going on an African safari a reality. Today, we’ll continue with the wildlife theme and visit that mythical home of the blue-footed booby and far too sociable sea lion, the Galapagos Islands. Lindblad has made the Galapagos their number one priority and it shows with their naturalists and new ships. But if you want to go smaller, you certainly can. We’ve put a number of ActiveTravels clients on Haugan yachts, housing 6 to 8 berths and more crew than passengers. They have wonderful naturalists and the ability to anchor in smaller harbors. We’ve also had families and couples go on guided sea kayaking jaunts with ROW, a renowned sea kayaking and rafting outfitter. So there are a number of ways to see the islands. We can also combine the Galapagos Islands with stops in Quito, Lima, and Machu Picchu. Please let ActiveTravels know your desire to visit the Galapagos Islands and we’ll find the best way for you to go eyeball to eyeball with a century-old tortoise!
