Galapagos - Enchanted Islands Family Holiday

X
Add to Wishlist

On land, see tightly packed marine iguanas, marvel at the size of giant tortoises and watch blue-footed boobies dance whilst pterodactyl-like frigate birds soar overhead. A trip to the islands is one of the most unforgettable experiences you are ever likely to have.

In the Galapagos we normally use the Intrepido or similar tourist class motor yacht,
custom designed for cruising these islands. Intrepido carries 20 passengers within 10 twin or double cabins, each with private facilities. There is a dining room/saloon and a sun deck.The Galapagos Islands offer a unique wildlife experience and are a nature lover's paradise. The animals have no fear of humans - you can swim with penguins and turtles as friendly sea lions twist and turn around you, their inquisitive pups frolicking in the surf.

After exploring Old Quito, you travel north to Otavalo, your base for the next few nights. From here you can walk through stunning mountain scenery around Lake Cuicocha, visit pre-Inca ruins, learn about traditional Indian villages and haggle at Otavalo's market.
