Galápagos Island Hopping (9 destinations)

Start & end in Quito 9 days Up to 16

About this trip

Nine days hopping between the Galápagos Islands, with the flight admin sorted so you can spend your time on the islands rather than sorting logistics.

Days are built around hiking, snorkelling and getting close to the wildlife the islands are known for, at an easy pace with a group.

Flights in and out of Quito are booked for you, at the most affordable fare available, so that part of the trip is one less thing to think about.

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you crave genuine wildlife encounters and don't mind paying a premium for convenience. Think twice if budget is tight—you're paying substantially more than self-booking for largely free activities.

  • Guides are genuinely exceptional; they share real local knowledge and go out of their way to ensure everyone gets what they want.
  • Wildlife encounters deliver: swimming with sea lions, sharks and turtles; seeing blue-footed boobies; volcano climbs and snorkelling are memorable.
  • Price is steep—most included activities are free walks or free-entry sites you could do independently at a fraction of the cost.
  • Pre-trip coordination in Quito can be chaotic; one rep didn't show for initial meeting, creating uncertainty about next-day flights.
