Cruise to the Galapagos Islands on the yacht La Pinta.
A truly rare 19-night fly, coach, cruise, rail and stay package to South America and the Galapagos Islands in April of next year has an almost regal touch to it – the just-40 Australians who’ll participate in this tour will have the personal services during a private five-star yacht visit to Galapagos of the guide chosen to escort a British royal there several years ago.
Created by founder and chairman of ecruising.travel, Brett Dudley and his wife Philippa who will jointly lead the tour, it features 12-nights fully-escorted private-coach touring in Chile, Peru and Ecuador with an English-speaking guide, seven-nights private-charter on the yacht La Pinta to Galapagos with all onboard meals, drinks with dinner, daily lectures and briefings, plus sea kayaking, Zodiacs, glass bottom boats, snorkelling, a stargazing program – and that British royal’s one-time personal guide, Francisco 'Pancho' Dousdebes.
And the visit to Galapagos will coincide with the annual frenetic breeding season of one of the world’s greatest single gatherings of bird- and sea-life.
The package also includes a full-day’s wine-tasting tour on Chile’s Cachapoal Wine Route, and a two-day visit to Machu Picchu aboard the luxury Hiram Bingham Deluxe Train with private English-speaking guides; there is also a day trip to Valparaiso and luxury hotels are used throughout.
The whole 19-nights is priced from $13,399pp twin-share from Sydney on March 31 next year; for a fully-detailed 11-page itinerary and inclusions phone 1300 369 848 or visit www.ecruising.travel
An optional 4-nights to Easter Island is available at extra cost on the way home.
