Galapagos Wildlife Escape

If you’d like return flights from Quito included in your trip, please search for the Galapagos Discovery tour (GGRR), which follows the same itinerary.
This adventure includes a 17-km hike lasting approximately 6 to 7 hours across rocky volcanic terrain, so sturdy hiking or trail shoes with good support are highly recommended.
Travel between the Galápagos Islands is by public speedboat, and journeys can sometimes be rough and bumpy. If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional about suitable medication before travelling. Sea conditions are often rougher between June and August, which can result in longer travel times.

Due to the islands’ location near the equator, the sun can be extremely strong. Be sure to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and ideally a rash guard for additional protection.
This trip also includes snorkelling activities on several days, so confident swimming skills are essential, as alternative activities are not available.

The Galápagos is the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy nature, though it’s worth noting that Wi-Fi and internet access can be limited and unreliable throughout the islands. Hot water may also be inconsistent in some locations, so occasional cold showers should be expected during the trip.

Visa information is provided by Sherpa, a trusted third-party. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements and does not cover full entry visas. U.S. citizens traveling to Italy for stays under 90 days typically do not need a tourist visa. Additional service fees may apply if you choose to purchase a visa through Sherpa. Always check official sources before traveling.

Hotel (6 nights)

The accommodation listed in the itinerary is intended as a guide and may occasionally change. If our preferred hotels are unavailable, alternative accommodation of a similar standard will be arranged.
Throughout the trip, we do our best to have rooms ready for your arrival, especially when arriving before standard check-in times. However, immediate check-in cannot always be guaranteed. In these cases, luggage storage will usually be available so you can begin exploring your destination, and on some trips, shared day rooms may also be provided until rooms become available.
Please note that a single supplement is not available on this trip due to limited hotel availability in the Galápagos Islands.

Please note: flight arrangements

We can assist with booking flights from any airport in the United States that is convenient for you. Occasionally, alternative routing or airlines may need to be arranged due to availability, but we will always ensure your flights align with your tour dates and provide the same level of comfort and reliability. Our goal is to make your journey to Italy smooth, stress-free, and perfectly timed with your tour.
