Ecuador And Galapagos In Considerable Comfort And Style

Tailor Made Sample Itinerary No.3

La Pinta Ecuador & Galapagos Family Luxury

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.

Ecuador & Galapagos Family Luxury La Pinta

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.  Find out more...

Suited more to families with older children (8-11), this itinerary reveals the remarkable variety of Ecuador’s diverse natural history. First comes an excellent jungle lodge in deepest Amazonia. Next a visit to the upland cloud forests should reveal prolific greenery and splendidly colourful birdlife. Then cruise the Galapagos islands aboard one of three identical, 83-feet sister vessels, each with 20 passengers and full air-conditioning. A limited number of special family cruises are available – please contact us for dates as they tend to fill fast.  Find out more...
