GALAPAGOS FOR GROUPS – get big discounts

Traveling in groups is a great experience in Galapagos. Isabella Island is an incomparable adventure; unfortunately no many people are lucky enough to visit it when they come to Galapagos.  This Island is one of the furthest islands in the Archipelago, so far of the noise of the world we are use to. Isabella couldn’t be different, it is a tourist place of people that find a moment, days, weeks of beauty, quite and peace.

 

We have much experience working with family and friends groups; we offer special discounts for groups over than 10 people.  We have designed a hand made itinerary, capable to operate any day of the week, offering more flexibility for your travel plans

 

 

GALAPAGOS GROUP´S ITINERARY

 

 

Day 1:  Quito or Guayaquil-Galapagos – Charles Darwin Research Station in Santa Cruz Island

 

Transfer in and visit The Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park offices which are based here. The station is also a tortoise breeding and rearing centre, where tortoises of different subspecies are prepared for reintroduction to their natural habitats.
