Detailed Description

The Galapagos archipelago unveils nature at its most untamed and unadulterated, a series of rugged volcanic islands standing isolated amidst Pacific waves. They're raw and mystical, constantly providing surprises and breathtaking sites; the breeding grounds for a million seabirds, sea lions bathing on white sand, whales cruising past penguins. As the natural history cascades across volcanic cliffs, there's sometimes too much to take in. Stop. Relax. Take your time. With an all-inclusive Galapagos Islands cruise and tour, you only need to focus on the wildlife and wild sights; everything else is arranged by a discreet and experienced team of local experts. This Galapagos vacations arrangement includes all the activities and excursions, transfers, meals, and many drinks. And these aren’t cold buffets and mass group excursions. Chefs concoct sumptuous a la carte menus; excursions offer near-exclusive access to stunning wildlife sites, and there's always a private place to watch the islands lazily drift by.

After a night in Quito, the Galapagos itinerary starts with eight days of all-inclusive cruising on a small luxury yacht. You'll visit the south, central, and northern parts of the archipelago, including world-renowned sites like Genovesa, North Seymour, and Punta Cormorant. Varied excursions add further angles to the immersion experience, allowing you to kayak with sea lions, walk across red volcanic remnants, and safely snorkel into a marine world of reef sharks and manta rays. Sip drinks as sunsets paint the sky, and lounge in tranquility as you cruise through the Pacific. For these eight days, there's hardly another boat in sight and your small group has private access to each of the phenomenal wildlife sites. With a capacity of just 20, the yacht ensures an intimate experience with all of the extravagant extras.

Swap the sea legs for land legs by completing the all-inclusive tour with three nights on Isabela Island in the Western Galapagos. A beautiful ecolodge stands above white sand and calm waters, offering continual views of playful sea lions and diving sea birds. Rest on your balcony and spend three elegant days in this remote corner of the archipelago. Like the cruise, all meals are included and you enjoy morning coffee with views of the migration routes of whales. Daily activities showcase the youthful volcanic splendor of Isabela, including a hike to the world's second largest crater and a journey to the magnificent lava arches of Tintoreras. This is a fully all-inclusive tour, allowing you to revel in the diversity of the Galapagos, discover all four regions of the archipelago, and experience the many ways in which it can be explored. So just sit back and enjoy the show.

Italy Tour Review: Wine Tour, Cooking Classes, Local Cuisine,...

Zicasso’s travel company was wonderful in planning our trip on short notice and in line with our requests and preferences. Their suggestions of what to do and where to stay were perfect. And when we accidentally got off on the wrong island, the travel company quickly got us new ferry tickets to get to the right place. It was all seamless.

Iceland Tour Review: Selfoss, Nature, 5-Day Trip

Although the trip had a few bumps, Zicasso’s travel agency was excellent to work with. Our travel agent was responsive, informative, and had an excellent app (which he improved upon before we went away). He checked in regularly to make sure everything went smoothly and took all the pain out of self-traveling, which was the whole idea!

Greece Tour Review: 2-Week Trip

Five stars are not enough! From the moment we connected, Zicasso's travel agency curated the perfect trip from start to finish. It was almost as if they knew the ins and outs of my family and our desires; they knocked it out of the park.

Traveling with two teenage girls, accommodations were important to us. Our hotel choices were perfect, spacious, and centrally located. Every tour was perfect, curated, and personal.

As first-time international travelers, we were a bit anxious. We were constantly supported by the travel company, getting our questions answered immediately at all times of the day or night. We had the trip of our dreams and could not have done it without this amazing agency.

Our travel agent was a delight, a mind reader and a consummate professional. The most sincere appreciation to all on this stellar team. I will shout this agency's name to everyone I know planning a trip. Thank you!

Canada Vacation Review: Quebec, Gourmet Walking Tour, Bike...

All activities were very well planned and generally good choices. The tour guides were generally good, also. Our Zicasso travel company needs to review the night ghost tour. It was actually pretty terrible. Our group of about 25 didn’t enjoy themselves and, along with us, many left before the end.

The entire transportation plan was excellent and drivers were always on time and very polite. The accommodations at both hotels were excellent.

Thank you.

Italy Honeymoon Review: Rome, Sorrento, Cooking Class, Private...

This trip was the greatest week of our lives! Everything planned was better than I could have imagined. The private drivers being coordinated behind the scenes made the trip so easy and removed all the stress of trying to navigate a new country. Every driver and our tour guide was so nice and I feel like we made friends with all of them.

My favorite part of the trip was definitely the cooking classes and that every tour was private and intimate for my wife and I. The connections Zicasso’s travel agent hooked us up with made the trip the most memorable experience. Our travel agent and the travel company took special care of all the tiny details of the trip; our hotel knew it was my birthday and had a special surprise for me! I’m beyond thankful for the perfect honeymoon they provided my wife and I.
