Can you arrange post-tour accommodation from May 22nd to May 24th? If yes, what is the cost per person?

Are there still two spots available for the May 14th, 2027 departure?

I'm looking for a Galapagos trip in April 2026. I am a solo traveller. Would prefer something a little later in April…like after the 15th.

We only have the following tour Galápagos – Central and East Islands aboard the Reina Silvia Voyager (Cruise Only) for the dates Sat, 18 Apr - Sat, 25 Apr.

Just wanted to check if there will be mosquito netting provided as part of our accommodations, especially in the Amazon basin area. And would you recommend anti-malaria medication or is good application of deet mosquito spray adequate?

Mosquito nets will not be provided, but you can purchase it or rent it on location. Anti-malaria medication and/or yellow fever vaccination are optional and it's the decision/responsability of the traveler to consult a travel doctor for updated information and advice.

What are the insurance requirements for the tour?

What documentation is required for trip preparation?

Can booking details for flights be updated after booking?

Yes, flight details should be updated immediately in the Good To Go system to ensure all services, like airport transfers, are accurately arranged.

How can travellers join a tour that is close to departure date?

Joining a tour close to the departure date requires full payment and acceptance of terms, as spots are subject to availability and require confirmation from the local office.

What is the cancellation policy for the tour?

It was a very interesting trip visiting diverse and vibrant places. Otavalo with its colorful market and the Hotel Hacienda Pinsaqui, very beautiful and historical place. Papallacta and the hot spring pools provided us with relaxing moments in a hypnotic setting. Two nights in Tena, in the Amazon rainforest, unique experience. The visit to Baños, perhaps the most exciting place with many radical opportunities and the unforgettable "Caldrón del Diablo" waterfalls. Finally, as Ecuador is the land of volcanoes (84), we could not fail to visit Cotopaxi National Park. Good hotels, reasonable transportation (with great driver) and exceptional guide (CEO), Maria.Show more
