The Galapagos offers 4,5, and 8 day programs. MILA coordinates your travel schedule with available boats, motor-yachts, or sailing boats.

Day 1- Quito or Guayaquil. After Immigrations and Customs, a MILA representative will meet you at the airport and provide a private transfer to your hotel. Overnight.

Day 2- Galapagos! After flying 600 miles from mainland, you will land at Baltra or at San Cristobal Airports. Then land transfer to the ports of Puerto Ayora, or to Puerto Baquerizo, to board your selected boat. Cabin assignment, introductory welcome talk, and Naturalist’s briefing on the next day’s activities are scheduled, followed by a welcome cocktail and dinner offered by the captain.

Following days. Depending on the number of days in the Islands(4,5,8), your boat will cruise to such islands like Fernandina, Isabela, Floreana, Española,Santa Cruz(Darwin Station) etc.

In order to preserve the ecological integrity of the Islands, the government of Ecuador selectively closes some islands every two or three years. Therefore, it may be possible that at the time of your visit, one or two islands may not be open to the public but you will visit representative areas to explore, admire, and enjoy.

What to expect. The Galapagos is ideal for family vacations, romantic/honeymoon stay, group meetings with time for exploring, snorkeling with the penguins, sea kayaking and selected hiking. Many photographic opportunities to tape/register the flightless cormorant, marine iguana, lava lizards, blue footed boobies, the Galapagos Tortoise, crimson throated frigate birds, the albatrosses, and the dolphins... the list goes on!

Types of boats.Upon requesting a reservation please identify the size of boat you prefer. Boats with 4, 8, 12, 20, 30, or 40 cabins operate the Galapagos. Do you have a cabin preference? Standard cabin, a junior suite, or a suite. Do you scuba? Not all boats are equipped for scuba diving. And MOST importantly, please secure your cabins SIX months ahead of time, and be flexible with travel dates in order to accommodate to your request.

Last day: Return to QUITO or GUAYAQUIL,extend your stay visiting volcanoes, Amazon Jungle, Indian markets, colonial cities, or continue to your next destination [Machu Picchu, Peru, or Chile] or private transfer to the airport for your flight back home.
