Tours to Galápagos
There are many tours available to the Galápagos Islands through many different
operators. I have listed a few below that I wish to recommend for some reason - either I
have seen them in action over the last 20 years or so, or simply because I have found,
and like, their web site...
 | Wilderness Travel - They can be contacted by e-mail, by phone at 1-800-368-2794 (or
1-510-548-0420), by fax at 1-510-548-0347 or by snail mail at 1102 Ninth
Street, Berkeley,
California 94710. I have worked as a tour leader for
Wilderness travel since 1982. |
| Great Expeditions - a tour operator from Vancouver, BC, Canada, that has put together
several of the trips I have led for the University of British Columbia. |
| Galápagos Travel - run by Barry
Boyce who has written an excellent guidebook to visiting the
islands. |
|
Incafloats - a very experienced tour operator specializing in small group
in depth adventures. Incafloats trips are special in that they spend 1 to 3
extra nights on Santa Cruz Island, home of the Charles Darwin Research Station
and the Giant Tortoise reserve. This not only allows visitors greater
opportunity to explore this major island but also allows clients to see other
islands on their 7 day cruise. |
| Mountain Travel Sobek - another fine adventure
travel company. |
| Lindblad Special Expeditions -
operators of the POLARIS |
| Andando Tours - operators of
several yachts in the Galápagos. |
| Metropolitan Touring - a major
Ecuadorian tour operator.
I first went out to the Galápagos in 1980 to work as a naturalist for ETICA,
a metropolitan subsidiary. |
IGTOA
You may be interested in the International Galápagos Tour Operators
Association, IGTOA. This represents a
federation of Galápagos Tour operators which are committed to the conservation
of the islands in various ways. I recommend them to you.
If you would like me to organize or lead a tour for you please feel free to contact me

Also, if you would like me to include your company's name
on the above list, please let me know! |
