Prices quoted for the liveaboard cruise and the island cruise are quoted separately and each includes all flights.

If you combine the two itineraries in any way, we will prepare a tailor-made itinerary for you – with only one set of flights per person !

Our itineraries include:

  •   Return flights from the UK
  •   Two nights accommodation in Quito on the outbound journey
  •   Local flight to the Galapagos
  •   Transfers from the airport to the catamaran
  •   Galapagos Island tour on board the Seaman II 
  •   Snorkel gear
  •   Excursions / activities described in the detailed itinerary
  •   English speaking certified naturalist guide
  •   All inclusive - all meals, snacks and drinks (except premium brands)
  •   Bilingual private guide with private transportation in Quito
  •   One night's accommodation in the Galapagos on the return journey
  •   One night's accommodation in Quito on the return journey
  •   Air tickets to/from Galapagos – inc. the TCT card.

We include two nights stopover in Quito on the way out and on the return a night on San Cristobal, Galapagos and another in Quito before your flight back to the UK. Flights from the UK to Quito arrive at night and it would be uncomfortable to fly to the Galapagos (San Cristobal) early the next day. Quito has a lot to offer, and this makes the start of the holiday experience a far more relaxed and comfortable one.

We include a night on San Cristobal so you can make the most of your final day. The flight to Quito arrives too late to connect with the flight to the UK, an extra night in Quito is included in the itinerary.
