An ideal itinerary for families wishing to experience the stunning Andean scenery of mainland Ecuador and the islands of the Galapagos, but without having to stay aboard a boat. After colonial Quito and the awesome Cotopaxi volcano come seven nights by a sandy beach on Isla Santa Cruz, enjoying various island visits by 18 metre-long, luxury Hatteras motor yacht and other guided mainland excursions, all the while benefiting from very comfortable island-based accommodation with large swimming pool and a natural seafront setting.

This luxury programme is all about the Enchanted Islands, and will appeal to families wishing to explore the Galapagos without mainland Ecuador, thereby avoiding a significant amount of travelling by using Guayaquil rather than Quito as the arrival point. After some relaxing acclimatisation at the pleasant Finch Bay Hotel near Puerto Ayora, embark on a full week’s cruise aboard the spacious 48-passenger yacht La Pinta – perhaps the most luxurious option available in the islands – with inter-connecting cabins and its unique ‘Young Pirates’ programme of activities tailored for children seven years and older. There is no better way for families to appreciate these magical islands. Find out more... |
