Liveaboard Itinerary & Price

It is vital that such a very special diving trip, and the various elements which form your holiday itinerary, should be well organised and stress-free. We understand that your holiday includes several elements and as a very experienced , ATOL bonded, tour operator, we can offer you one complete holiday itinerary. We will look after every aspect of the holiday.

Our itineraries include:
 
  *     return flights from the UK
 
  *     three stopovers in Quito - outbound and return
 
  *     local flight to the Galapagos
 
  *     transfer from the airport to the boat
 
  *     all inclusive - all meals, snacks and drinks (except premium brands)
 
  *     compressed air tanks, weights and belts, nitrox fills
 
  *     bilingual private guide with private transportation in Quito
 
  *     3 nights accommodation in Quito breakfast and taxes included
 
  *     air tickets to/from Galapagos – inc. the TCT card.

The diving liveaboard is Saturday to Saturday, our suggested itinerary commences on a Thursday, arriving back into the UK 12 days later.

We include two nights stopover in Quito on the way out and, after disembarking from the yacht, a night in Quito before catching your flight back to the UK.

Flights from the UK to Quito arrive at night and it would be uncomfortable to have to fly to the Galapagos (San Cristobal) early the next day. That is why we recommend two nights in Quito.

Quito has a lot offer , and this makes the start of the holiday experience a far more relaxed and comfortable one. The fight from the Galapagos back to Quito arrives too late in the day to connect with the flight back to Europe, and an extra night in Quito is unavoidable.
