Overview
Take in the highlights of the unique flora and fauna-rich islands of the Galapagos on this nine-day adventure. With flights to and from Quito, a flexible itinerary and an expert local leader to give you all the best recommendations, you’ll be able to tailor your trip to do more of what you love. From rubbing shoulders with giant tortoises to gazing up in wonder at the spectacular blue-footed boobies’ synchronised fishing technique, the Galapagos offers the chance to see an abundance of rare creatures at close range. You might find yourself snorkelling with sea lions, swimming with sea turtles or kicking back on the beach, surrounded by one of the world’s most fascinating ecosystems.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Due to limited hotel availability, a single supplement is not available on this trip.
2. Full passport details are required at the time of booking. The passport you travel with must match the booking details provided to us. This information is necessary to purchase entry permits to certain sites. Delays in providing this information could result in additional booking fees or changes to your itinerary.
3. All visitors to the Galapagos must have a Transit Control Card. We will use your passport details to complete the application process on your behalf. At the Welcome Meeting in Quito, you will be required to pay your leader USD 20 in cash to cover the fee.
4. The Galapagos National Park fee (USD 200) and Isabela Port fee (USD 10) are payable upon arrival to the islands (cash only). These amounts are in addition to your trip payment.
5. Strict rules apply in the Galapagos Islands to protect and preserve its unique biodiversity. Intrepid supports these rules, which range from times of the day that a destination can be visited to the distance kept between people and wildlife. In particular, not removing anything from the environment (shells and corals, for example). All rules will be explained in more detail by your leader when you join the trip. Not adhering to these rules can lead to hefty fines for travellers and Intrepid losing the license to operate in the Galapagos Islands. Failure to adhere to the rules can result in your removal from the trip without a refund.
