Note:
Most of the cruises in Galapagos are 8 days / 7 nights. In fact, they are only seven days travelling around the Islands, usually the first and last day are not full days, you will arrive the Galapagos Islands in the afternoon around 12:30 P.M and you will leave the Islands is around 10:00 A.M.
The itineraries are, for the most part well organized and you can see a diversity of flora and fauna. Which is classified as the minimum recommended duration travel if you want to leave with a good feeling from the Galapagos.
I have to say that there are a growing number of people who take a tour of 3 or 4 days travel to Galapagos. On these trips we cannot recommend 100% satisfaction because they will lose a lot of time traveling, unpacking, repacking their suitcases for travel back, causing irritation and dissatisfaction, especially with foreigners.
An 8 days trip is suggested taking for those of you who want to get the most in regard to the observation of animals and birds to travel to taste and learn about the best of Galapagos, or simply to enjoy. I mean that is why we are traveling to Galapagos!!. To know it and enjoy it as much as you can. However, our 3 or 4 days itineraries have been carefully organized to include sites of excellent visit so that you can enjoy the tour too.
