Your tailor-made holiday will be as unique as you are. These itineraries are just a starting point, a bit of inspiration to show what’s possible. Your own trip all starts with a conversation with one of our Galapagos and Ecuador experts, who’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and design the perfect holiday to match.
The Galapagos is a wonderful destination for families as there are so many natural wonders to fascinate curious minds. Ecuadorians also love children - doors to new experiences will be opened as barriers with locals are more likely to be quickly broken down. This itinerary includes time in colonial Quito, with a spot of zip-lining and adventure in the cloud forest region. Following this, explore the natural wonders of the Galapagos by a combination of a family friendly cruise, and a few days in a beautiful beachside hotel on the island of Santa Cruz.
This itinerary has been carefully designed to allow you to see the most iconic Galapagos species, including diving blue-footed boobies and rambling giant tortoises. Landscapes also range dramatically from lush green highlands to pristine white sand beaches. It is balanced to give you a mixture of expert guiding as well as time at leisure, which slows down the pace and allows you to soak in these incredible sights.
Here's a summary of what you might get up to day-to-day on this Ecuador & Galapagos holiday. As always, this is just an idea. Every single day of your trip will be tailored to suit you.
Fly to Quito, where you’ll be greeted by our friendly representative and transferred to the charming Old Town.
Your Quito city tour will focus on the impressive historic plazas and cobbled streets of the Old Town. You'll then head north to visit the equator line, where you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere.
Today you’ll head north to the fascinating cloud forest. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, including walks, zip-lining, and rafting.
Your Galapagos adventure begins today. You’ll fly to either San Cristobal or Baltra, where you’ll be transferred to your waiting cruise.
Spend three unforgettable days discovering the Galapagos Islands with your expert naturalist guide. Whether exploring on foot or by small boat, you’ll encounter extraordinary wildlife along the rugged coastline and in the surrounding waters. Each day brings new experiences, with your guide advising on what to expect. Your final full day will be packed with activities, including plenty of opportunities for snorkelling.
This morning, you’ll disembark in Baltra. Occasionally, there’s time for a final visit before transferring to your hotel in Puerto Ayora. Here, you’ll spend three nights enjoying some well-earned rest or perhaps a little more exploration if you’re feeling adventurous.
Enjoy two full days at leisure. The white sands of nearby Tortuga Bay are well worth a visit, offering a beautiful spot to relax or swim. You might also choose to continue exploring these incredible islands at your own pace.
You will be transferred to the airport for your flight back to the mainland. From there, you’ll board your overnight international flight home.
