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.
Explore the natural wonders of the Galapagos and then return to comfortable boutique hotels on three of the most interesting islands in the archipelago: San Cristobal, Santa Cruz and Isla Isabela.
These islands have been carefully chosen as they are home to the most iconic Galapagos species, including diving blue footed boobies, striking pink flamingos and the rambling giant tortoise. Landscapes also range dramatically from lush green highlands to pristine white sand beaches. The itinerary is balanced to give you a mixture of expert guiding as well as time at leisure, which slows the pace and allows you to soak in these incredible sights.
