The Galapagos Islands - EcuadorTRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS

 Golondrina MOTOR BOAT

The Golondrina has the most complete on-board services of all of the Basic Gringo yachts and as such offers excellent value for money. It also runs a nice itinerary - the standard north and south loop as well as a trip up to the northern and little-visited but interesting island of Genovesa.

 
"Great tour - definately worth doing the 8days as I saw so much more!" (Evelyn, Canada)

"Thoroughly enjoyable tour and excellent value too."
(Ralf, Switzerland)

"The boat, rooms, food and staff were all great! I would recommend against doing 5day itinerary "A" though because the final night in the hotel takes time away from the tour and is a raw deal."
(Carrie, USA)
