Ecuador and the Galapagos 

Dates, 17th - 30 August 2025

This is another of those "Once in a lifetime" trips for many, and so we are going to do this with a little bit of style and have chosen 4* colonial style hotels to delight.

We also overnight on land when in the Galapagos, visiting the islands by boat during the day. More comfortable and less chance of seasickness.

Deposits are now  open for those that would like to secure a place, as the trip looks close to full.
