Galapagos in April 2023
Between April 7 to April 23
Hello team,
I would like to present to you the best options I have found so far. I am waiting on responses from a couple of other places, but instead of waiting any longer I decided to show these, and based on your choices we will determine if we need to see more options.
Somethings to note:
-
I am not seeing a lot of 8-10 day cruises around those dates, but found a couple of options and added another one with just 5 days in case you are open to other lengths.
-
They all seem to include about the same (Meals, non-alcoholic drinks, naturist guide, shuttle from/to the airport, activities, etc).
-
Regardless of the choice, you will need to pay certain fees like the entry to the Galapagos national park, some equipment rentals, and others fees alike. Once we make a decision, I will make sure to list of these extras for you.
-
I took a quick look at flights between Quito and the Galapagos, and it seems they would be around $500 per person. Once we pick a cruise, I will look at specific dates and options.
