Island hopping holiday in the Galapagos

Planet

Carbon reduction

By travelling in a small group, we ‘tread lightly’ to minimise our impact on local resources and the environment. Accommodation and restaurants in the itinerary use locally sourced food which has not been transported long distances. Vegetarian food options are available throughout.
Our local partners have reached B Corp Certification, which requires they demonstrate high social and environmental performance.

Environment and wildlife

We work with our partners on the ground to proactively reduce waste; this includes eliminating all single-use plastic water bottles by providing refills for reusable bottles. We do all we can to ensure we leave no rubbish in the wild and beautiful places we visit; we ask that you do the same. If there are no recycling facilities in-country, consider bringing recyclable materials home with you.Please bring a reusable water bottle on this trip, also consider avoiding single-use hotel toiletries, which generate a large amount of plastic waste.

The payment of entrance fees to natural reserves and archaeological sites generates income which is used for upkeep and development of these important sites. A percentage of the entry fee for the Galapagos funds the conservation of this unique and significant area of the world.
Our trips adhere to ABTA’s industry-leading animal welfare guidelines to ensure the best possible practices regarding wildlife viewing.

We follow the environmental protection policies of the Galapagos Island.
We rewild 1,075sqft (100sqm) per passenger for all trip and flight emissions.

We stop on Floreana Island and the meals there are at a community-run restaurant.
