Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

I highly recommend adventurous live-aboard cruises throughout thesewidely-scattered islands. Clients fly into Quito, Ecuador, have a hotel overnightthen fly from Quito out to Baltra in the Galapagos. Board Mistral or LammerLaw at Baltra to begin the adventure.

• M. V. Mistral is 74 feet long, with six air-conditioned private double cabins, and air-conditioned salon.
• M. V. Lammer Law is 100 feet long
• Most cruises offer several major land walks on different islands.
• All cruises have government-trained naturalist/dive guide on board.
• An average of three dives per day to see rare, endemic marine species.
• All diving cruises are scheduled at this time to include the northern islands of Darwin and Wolf for the schooling hammerheads and occasional whale sharks.
