New Ways to Experience the Galapagos from Friends Travel, LLP
“Galapagos vacations have grown in popularity year after year, and we have expanded the opportunities for visitors to experience this popular destination,”
New for 2011 is a 6-day Galapagos Land & Sea program. “It is the wonderful way to enjoy the Galapagos – three days onboard a 44-passenger ship cruising from island to island followed by three relaxing days on land at the Finch Bay Hotel on Santa Cruz Island.” The package is priced from $2,955 and includes air transfers from Quito or Guayaquil, as well as ground and boat transfers.
“Another option is our 6-day Darwin’s Triangle program with Red Mangrove Lodges. In that case you stay at lodges on Santa Cruz, Floreana and Isabela Islands each night and explore the islands each day in a comfortable motor yacht with a naturalist guide. You enjoy the privacy and facilities of a hotel, and guests can both dive and explore the islands.” The Darwin’s Triangle program is priced from $2,849. All air, ground and boat transfers are included.
