By Land or By Sea?

10-28-2008

Boundless Journeys Now Offers Two Great Ways to Discover the Galapagos Islands STOWE, Award-winning tour company, Boundless Journeys (www.boundlessjourneys.com), now offers two adventurous options for exploring the Galapagos Islands - choices sure to suit diverse budgets and travel styles - with more Blue-footed Boobies, land iguanas, sea lions, and penguins than you can keep track of.

     

For those looking to get some bang for their buck (who isn't, these days?), or who value the comfort and space of charming land-based accommodations, the new Ecuador: Explorer's Galapagos land-based adventure trip is an excellent choice. It is also an ideal choice for those craving a variety of activities: nature walks on pristine beaches, snorkeling with sea lions and tropical fish, sea kayaking through mangrove lagoons, overland expeditions to volcanic calderas and a tortoise breeding center, and inter-island boat excursions are all part of the itinerary. Each day, you'll leave well-worn routes behind to enjoy the tranquility of walking and paddling through the less-visited corners of this island paradise.

 

2009 Dates: March 7-15, April 18-26, July 25-August 2, and November 28-December 6. Price per person: $3595, based on double occupancy. Private Collection trips are also available; please call for details. 10% savings offered to new 2009 reservations made directly with Boundless Journeys, received before November 1st, and 5% savings for new 2009 reservations received before December 1st.

 

For those who prefer the feel and privacy of a deluxe yacht, choose Boundless Journeys' classic Ecuador: The Galapagos Islands adventure trip. This naturalist-led cruise aboard the Parranda introduces guests to many wonders that are unique to the Galapagos Islands. The Parranda is an elegant 125-foot motor yacht, capable of carrying up to 16 passengers, a naturalist guide, and crew of seven. All cabins have private facilities with fresh hot and cold water showers. Fitted with stabilizers to make cruising more comfortable, the Parranda is fast, allowing for reduced travel time between islands. Nature walks and hikes are paired with sea kayaking and snorkeling for diverse exposure to all that the islands offer. Shared space on board includes an ample salon, a dining area offering both fresh air and protection from the sun, and an extraordinary outside deck. Long and spacious, the decks are outfitted with comfortable lounge chairs for reading, socializing, or simply relaxing.
