Our journey begins in Santa Cruz Island, where we’ll get to meet one of the most fascinating inhabitants of the Galapagos archipelago: Giant Tortoises. After landing at Baltra airport, we will soon be face to face with these creatures in their natural habitat. The next day takes us to Santiago Island, where we’ll get the chance to snorkel alongside marine iguanas. During the afternoon, we’ll visit the sandy beach of Sombrero Chino (Chinese Hat Islet). The next day, we head off to Genovesa Island, a fascinating bird hub! Here, we’ll spend the entire day enjoying its colonies of nesting birds and explore its cliffs, shoreline, and beaches. Returning to the central islands, Santa Fe offers you the chance to meet its endemic Land Iguana. During the afternoon, we can hope to observe sea lions, rays, and sharks in South Plaza’s turquoise waters.

From the moment Carolina started planning our itinerary for us, I knew it would be the trip of a lifetime for our family! My husband, me and our three kids (17, 11, 11) flew into Guayaquil and spent two nights there touring and enjoying the city. From there we flew to Baltra and joined the group we would be cruising with on the Isabela II. The entire experience was magical! The naturalists were so knowledgable and helpful, the staff amazing and the food and service was incredible. We saw so many of the Big 15 animals of the Galapagos and were amazed by the scenery. After the Galapagos cruise, we headed to Quito for the night then drove to Mashpi Lodge - what special place! Again, our naturalist, the eco lodge, the expeditions, food and service were top notch! We were sad to leave, two nights was not long enough! From there we went back to Quito for a few nights at Casa Gogentena, a beautiful hotel in the heart of Quito. We did some tours with wonderful guides, ate amazing meals and ended our 11 day vacation so happy with what we had done and experienced in Ecuador. The planning and attention to detail by Carolina was amazing. We felt so taken care of the entire time, knew what to expect, had all our questions answered and truly enjoyed ourselves instead of navigating and making arrangements and reservations. We will definitely use Metropolitan Touring for other vacations and have been recommending them to our friends!

Our second trip on La Pinta was every bit as wonderful as the first. Everything associated with the trip was first rate. Life on the boat was very comfortable and the off boat excursions were fun, adventurous and educational. Plenty of opportunities to take advantage of great snorkeling. Already thinking about a third trip on La Pinta to the Western Galapagos Islands.
