Enchanted Expeditions, pioneer cruise and tour operators on smaller boats in the Galapagos Islands and mainland Ecuador, will put together the perfect itinerary for clients. Founder Judy Carvalhal and her three partners have collectively over 125 years of experience as tour guides, researchers, conservationists and community tourism advocates in Ecuador. Their ready-made and custom active travel vacations are designed for the active, curious and conservation-minded seeking value, authenticity and genuine connections with communities and wildlife while they leave a ‘small footprint.’

Booking a tour in the Galapagos Islands aboard their Smart Voyager-certified motor/yacht Beluga now at incredibly reduced rates on prescheduled departures will save more than $1,000 over published rates. This is a great opportunity for single travelers, families and smaller groups seeking a great adventure and long-lasting emotions.

The Beluga accommodates 16 passengers in eight double cabins (four lower/lower twin berths, two matrimonial beds and two with lower/lower twins that can be joined to create matrimonial options). Cabin 1 has three beds (two lower and one upper bed), each with private bathrooms with showers, fully air-conditioned, social areas with the comfort and facilities of a superior yacht, and panoramic windows in the salon/dining area.

The itinerary consists of daily excursions ashore the islands, snorkeling and swimming in this unique ecosystem. Travelers will enjoy time on the vessel’s spacious sun deck or relaxing in the shade on the top deck while cruising between islands. Reservations and additional information on tours are available by contacting sales staff Monse or Wendy at the Quito office.
