This program enables you to experience the charming city of Quito, nestled high in the Andes, before you visit a number of islands on your 8-day Galapagos cruise. If the pink flamingos are shy on Santa Cruz, you can always catch another glimpse on Rabida. This longer cruise allows for several opportunities to see the amazing birds and animals of the Galapagos Islands. Aboard the M/V Legend you will enjoy the islands while relaxing in both style and comfort.

This longer Quito and Galapagos program allows you to enjoy the Galapagos navigating in a 100 passenger, fully air-conditioned cruise ship. The Galapagos Legend has all the amenities of a cruise liner yet it’s small enough for that intimate experience with nature that brings you to the Galapagos Islands.

Enjoy shopping in the craft stalls of the Mariscal Sucre neighborhood, or sauntering through the historic plazas of old Quito. Spending a full day touring the city and Mitad del Mundo before your flight to the Galapagos will give you a taste for what the Ecuadorian highlands have to offer.

Within minutes of landing at the small island airport on Baltra you will begin to realize why the Galapagos are called the Enchanted Isles. The slow, lumbering movement of the marine iguanas and the playfulness of the sea lions will capture places in your memory that will remain with you for years to come.

The Galapagos Cruises operates two 8-day itineraries. Depending on your dates of travel, you will enjoy either itinerary A or itinerary B. You will see the various ports of call listed on the day-by-day itinerary accordingly.

This tour includes airfare allowance from London (UK), on non-holiday dates. You do not need to fly via London; Yampu will fly you the most direct way to your city of destination. Depending on your travel dates and proximity of travel, we will quote you the most economical surcharge from your city or country of origin.
