Hotel + Yatch Programs
Land-Based Galapagos Tours (hotel + yacht): Combination tours, or land-based tours, are similar to navigable tours in the sense that they combine visits to land and marine sites in the archipelago. The major difference is that combination tours include lodging on land and are limited to sites within a finite radius of the hub town, either Puerto Ayora. These tours are based in certain hotels, which have partnerships with various tour agencies, dive centers, and transportation services. A typical island day trip begins at dawn, with a walk to the dock or a bus trip to the Itabaca channel, where you meet the boat that will take you to your destination. You spend a short time--two hours at maximum in a slow boat to Bartolome or any other islands. Once there, you will spend the majority of the day touring the island with a naturalist guide, eating lunch, and (if available at the island site) swimming and snorkeling at the beach. You return to Puerto Ayora via the same route in the early afternoon.
