Introducing the Eastern Galapagos Islands
This is a great offer for an amazing experience in one of the most unique and impressive protected areas on the planet, the Galapagos Islands. This itinerary will visit the eastern islands of the archipelago, including Floreana and Española, with exceptional snorkeling, abundant bird life and diverse landscapes. We begin with a full day in Quito, then take an 8 day cruise on board the Cachalote, a simple first class yacht with an excellent, diverse itinerary and a superb reputation. For those who don't need luxury, it will be an amazing trip. Extend your trip with a visit to the beautiful Amazon rainforest, or add more days to explore the Andes around Quito if your time permits.

The most popular months for visitors tend to be June, July and August, alongside December and January. In terms of climate, bear in mind that it can be a little unpredictable so far from any land mass, but generally speaking December to May is the sunniest period, although there will be some rain. Low season - June to November - brings slightly cooler temperatures, overcast skies and less rainfall. Divers prefer the cooler, cloudier period because the colder water brings even more diverse marine life to the islands.
