Galapagos_IslandsIt is with great excitement that I offer a truly once-in-a-lifetime trip:

An Epic Eco-Adventure to the Galapagos Islands!

For those of you who have traveled with Women On A Roll, you know I spend a great deal of time researching and planning every trip — reviewing all of the options, accommodations, itineraries and tour operators! Well, this trip is no different. For months, I have been interviewing tour operators, reviewing itineraries, and thoroughly researching all of the boats that are licensed to cruise the Galapagos Islands!

 

quitoAfter all of this, I have decided to work with Pablo Rea at Columbus Travel to customize our trip. Pablo is Ecuadorian and has been a travel expert in this region for over 10 years. He just happens to be gay and has graciously booked a local lesbian host for us during our stay in Quito.

Our home at sea will be the “Treasure of Galapagos!” I have selected this amazing first-class catamaran because aside from its upgraded amenities, it offers one of the best itineraries and on-board naturalists available.  I have chartered the entire yacht which can accommodate up to 16 passengers and provides three different solarium areas, a sundeck, an outdoor jacuzzi with spectacular ocean views, and a beautiful dining room to enjoy exquisite meals prepared daily just for us. Every cabin on board the “Treasure of Galapagos” features a private balcony overlooking the ocean, private bathroom, air conditioning, vanity dressers, security deposit boxes, TV, DVD, mini-bar, and satellite communications.

 

penquinsWe will be traveling during high season which doesn’t necessarily mean its more crowded as there is always a restriction as to how many boats and visitors are allowed at any given time. This time of year offers the best climate, both air and water temperatures are most desirable January-April. The tropical rains are sporadic and the sun can be intense. The average temperature in March is between 75 and 88 degrees. The average water temperature is 77 degrees. The warm current brings lots of activities for tropical fish as well as the Galapagos penguins. The Marine Iguanas will be starting their nesting period.

 

And finally, working with this company will automatically benefit Galapagos Volunteer Projects which focuses on protecting, preserving and educating. You can learn more here:  ecuadorvolunteers.org/galapagos

So what are you waiting for? Now is the time to have the time of your life!
