About This Tour



Vacation Overview
Combine Quito with guided city sightseeing and five days at the Finch Bay Hotel on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos Islands. Take a Naturalist-guided cruise daily to explore various outlying islands. Visits include Santa Fé to see the endemic land iguana and for the chance to snorkel with sea turtles. South Plazas and Punta Carrion Islands feature unique hybrid iguanas, the result of a cross between male marine iguanas and female land iguanas. See tropical birds, sea lions, and fur seals on North Seymour Island and Las Bachas Beach. Also enjoy a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station.

CURRENT SPECIALS:

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus

Discount for young travelers

Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

Pay less for your second vacation

We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.

Triple room reduction

On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.

Avoid the single room supplement

We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!
