The Galapagos Islands

A visit to the spectacular Galapagos Islands is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So it is worthwhile ensuring that you are booking with a reliable company with knowledgeable guides who will help you get the very best out of the experience.

We can help book Galapagos cruises for our Spanish students and volunteers at some of the best prices in Quito through reputable and responsible agencies.

We recommend Galapagos tours based on our experience with a variety of yachts and cruise/tour operators, in an effort to promote companies that offer the best value and the best overall experience while operating with integrity and respect for the environment. Because of the popularity of the islands, it is recommended to book these trips well in advance, although during the low season it is also possible to pick up reasonable last-minute offers (but be advised that these are never huge reductions in price).

Prices for an 8-day trip range from about $1000 on up to over $2000 depending on the level of luxury you desire. Generally, a safe and comfortable boat (tourist superior) costs between $1100 and $1300 for 8 days. 4 and 5-day cruises are also available for a couple of hundred dollars less, but bear in mind that you spend about a day and a half getting there and back. In addition to the cost of the cruise, you need to figure about $450 for airfare (slightly less during low season) and $110 for park admission.

There are also options for land-based tours. We recommend these as they tend to put more money directly into the community than the boat tours, benefitting the local population more. In addition they are preferable for those who do not like the idea of spending a week on a boat. We have teamed up with a local operator to offer a week of Spanish classes with accommodaton and excursions, based in Santa Cruz. Click here for details.

If you are interested in going to the Galapagos, please email us with an idea of your dates and other relevant information.
