A trip to Galapagos Islands!. Discovering this unique world for the first time!.
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last summer, as part of our constant capacitation in the destinations we offer to our customers, we took a trip to Galapagos Islands in Ecuador<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our Peru Trip Advisor’s<\/a> staff took different ways so we could experience as much as possible and share experiences later.<\/p>\n

While Maria Isabel<\/strong> and Susana<\/strong> took a 4 days land based program at the Finch Bay hotel<\/strong>, me (Marita<\/strong>) and our former coworker and good friend Tatiana<\/strong> took a 5 days cruise on board of the Isabela Yacht.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finch Bay Hotel:<\/h3>\n

Maria Isabel and Susana explore Santa Cruz Island<\/strong> plus other nearby islands taking daily full day excursions on board of the Sea Lion Yacht<\/strong>. Every day, early in the morning they started a new adventure that took them to paradisiac beaches to the top of dormant volcanoes.<\/p>\n

Maria Isabel<\/strong> absolutely loved to snorkel on the ocean, swimming close to sea lions and looking at star fishes sea turtles!<\/p>\n

Susana<\/strong> enjoyed a lot the delicious meals served on board and at the hotel and hiking at the islands.<\/p>\n

They both agreed that a land based experience is suitable for people that suffer sea sickness because it\u2019s always reassuring to return to firm land every afternoon to overnight in a hotel instead of continue shaking on board of the yacht while sleeping.<\/p>\n

I chose the 5 days cruise<\/strong> on this wonderful and exclusive yacht. I\u2019ve been in other cruises before so I know that the sea sickness wouldn\u2019t be a trouble for me.<\/p>\n

At first, I felt 5 days was too much but I didn\u2019t expected I will fall in love with those islands that seems to be lifeless but that are full of life everywhere (land and ocean). At the end of the 5th<\/sup> day it was hard to say good bye and return to the mainland.<\/p>\n

Every morning the landing was in a different island, a new place to be discovered by my eyes and my camera! I must confess that neither Tatiana nor me are nature lovers and we don\u2019t enjoy hiking too much but we felt really conformable with every excursion, even with the ones that involve hiking.<\/p>\n

I realized a visit to Galapagos is suitable for all ages<\/strong>. There were kinds on board that had the trip of their life as well as older people that manage really well to walk around the islands.<\/p>\n

Besides, for the lazy ones (like us sometimes), there was the option to take boat tours on board of the glass bottom boat which was fun! We were able to see sharks, all kind of fishes, start fishes, turtles, etc. from the comfort of our boat instead of snorkel (we don\u2019t know how to swim!!!!)<\/p>\n

Life on board is not like on those huge cruises at the Caribbean, however, having a quiet time after the tiring excursions is just perfect.<\/p>\n

The yacht counts with an open Jacuzzi<\/strong> at the sun deck where is possible to relax and with only 48 passengers<\/strong> on board, you are most likely to find it available only for you by the time you want to spend some time there.<\/p>\n

The food was fantastic with different buffet\u2019s themes every day and the lectures every evening were good and informative.<\/p>\n

\n

We all conclude that Galapagos is a wonderful destination, not only for nature lovers! And we are very much looking forward to go back again for a longer stay!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
