Spend Your Vacation In Fun With A Great Galapagos Tour Package

By Donna Moore


There are not many global travel destinations that rival South America. Travelers to this great continent are often wowed by the diverse mix of nature and culture. If heading over to Ecuador for your vacation, you might want to choose a Galapagos tour package that covers the following islands, preferably over 8 days.

Your trip will take you to a host of stunning islands that are a haven for nesting birds and sea lions. The mix between marine and land wildlife will certainly give you a feel of what it is like to be in the throes of nature. No matter the costs, you are assured of value for money and a truly memorable experience.

Once you land in the capital city, Quito, your agency will pick you up from the airport and transport you to a city hotel. Quito is located in a valley, and majority of the top hotels are built on top of the hills that surround the city center. The main cuisine is Ecuadorian, but other international options are available in almost all hotels.

Majority of the flights from the city to the highlands take off early in the morning. It all depends on the itinerary that your agency sets for you. Your first flight out of the city should take you to San Cristobal. Most luxury packages include accommodation in yachts by the Pacific.

The magical views of the archipelago always make for lasting memories. They tell a lot about the volcanic heritage of the surrounding islands. Not far from here is the Lobos Island. Many know it for its vast numbers of sea lions. The shores are often filled with hundreds of these. As the sea lions here pose no direct danger to humans, you might want to snap a photo for your album and social media circles.

To the northeast lies the Boobies of Punta Pitt. This name does not come as a surprise as the location is home to lots of nesting boobies. Take some time to watch them hop from rock to rock. Their colored feet give them away from a distance.

The Cerro Brujo, which prides itself as being the most pristine beach in the archipelago, would be perfect to spend the afternoon at. Its sprawling white sands are perfect for sunbathing. Cap your day with a dip in the turquoise water.

Genovesa Island is where your itinerary should take you next. This island is located in the far north. It is home to more than two million birds. For decades, the birds have used it as a breeding ground. Some of the species you will spot include storm petrels, gulls, boobies and Galapagos doves.

Finalize your visit with an exploration of North Seymour, Isabella, Santa Cruz and Santiago islands. They are renowned for their extensive populations of crabs, dolphins, seabirds, tortoises and iguanas. At the end of your trip, you will travel back to Quito to for a flight back home.

The travel agency you choose can make or break your tour. Try to ensure you only engage the reputable ones. In the end, your experience should be worth every penny.
