What is the single supplement to have a room alone the entire trip? Is this guaranteed? Do the services include transport from hotel in Quito to airport, and similar aspects of event, delivering group to and from each event? What are the actual, specific, distances involved in each event such as the bike ride, the hikes, kayak. I want to make sure it is not too much for me, given a few physical shortcomings from pay injuries. If an event goes a bit too far for me, can I back off and still continue to participate in the day's schedule?

The single supplement for having your own room throughout the entire trip is USD 5,900. The departure and all included services are fully guaranteed. Transfers from your hotel in Quito to the airport are also included, as well as all local transfers and logistics within the Galápagos. Everything has been arranged to ensure a smooth and worry-free experience from start to finish. Each activity has been designed to be flexible and adaptable to your comfort level. For example, the kayak route on San Cristóbal covers about 3 to 5 km along the coast, and the bike rides range from 12 to 18 km on Isabela and up to 25 to 30 km on San Cristóbal, with a shorter 15 to 18 km option starting from El Progreso if preferred. Walking activities, such as at El Chato and the lava tunnels, are around 2 hours total on mostly flat terrain. If at any point an activity feels like too much, your guide can easily adjust the distance, slow the pace, or arrange for you to join the group at the next stop so you'll never miss out on the day's experiences. Comfort and safety always come first, and the itinerary is flexible to ensure everyone enjoys it fully.

We had a great time! We felt well taken care of during this trip and it was well organized. The experiences and activities were well selected and memorable. We had a different tour guide for each island and all were friendly and knowledgeable. As we did not have other members in our tour, it felt like we had private guides! A couple of unexpected and unique experiences included the wood carving demonstration and the ranch on San Cristobal. The arranged food and hotels were all very good. The only wrinkle was an unexpected difference in baggage allowance for the flight to Isabela Island that we didn't know about, so we had to pay excess baggage charges. Highly recommended!Show more
