Tour overview

The Treasure of Galapagos is a Luxury-category vessel with three tightly built programmes: two different 5-day routes and a 7-day itinerary that reaches the western volcanoes.

Route A covers El Chato on Santa Cruz, Sullivan Bay and Bartholomew, North Seymour and South Plaza, and San Cristobal’s Pitt Point, Witch Hill and Interpretation Centre. Route B works the southern islands: Colorado Hill, Espanola’s Gardner Bay and Suarez Point, Floreana’s Post Office Bay, Baroness Lookout, Cormorant Point and Champion Islet, and Santa Fe’s Barrington Bay. The 7-day programme adds Isabela and Fernandina: the whitetip reef shark channel, the Wetlands and the Wall of Tears, Moreno Point, Tagus Cove, Espinoza Point and Vicente Roca Point.

All meals from lunch on day one, snorkel equipment, a cabin with private bathroom and a certified bilingual naturalist guide are included, plus unlimited purified water, tea and coffee.

Ecosportour is an Ecuadorian operator: buy the Galapagos flight through us and you also keep the airport assistance in Quito or Guayaquil, which is lost when passengers ticket themselves.
