Romantic Adventure in Ecuador With Galapagos Cruise

Welcome to Ecuador, a South American country lying on the equator! Upon arrival in its capital city of Quito, get your sweet journey off to a great start with the private transfer from the airport to your hotel. The rest of the day is at your leisure to recover after a long flight and acclimatize to the higher altitude (2,850 meters).

Celebrate your love while exploring the UNESCO-approved City of Quito. Stroll hand in hand through Independence Square, admiring colonial churches, the Carondelet Palace, and the dazzling gold-leaf interior of La Companía de Jesús. From Panecillo Hill, take in sweeping views of the city and surrounding volcanoes.

Later in the day, journey just north to the Middle of the World. Playfully stand with one foot in each hemisphere, capturing an unforgettable photo together. Before returning to your hotel, delve into ancient astronomy and indigenous wisdom at the fascinating Intinan Museum.

Departing from Quito, set off on a scenic descent (around 1.5-2 hours) from the Andean highlands into the lush cloud forest. Along winding roads, enjoy breathtaking views of mountains, rivers, and quaint jungle towns before arriving at your cloud forest lodge.

You are welcomed with a refreshing drink and a hearty lunch crafted from fresh, local ingredients. After settling into your cozy rooms, join your naturalist guide for an afternoon hike through the rainforest, discovering towering trees, medicinal plants, and vibrant wildlife.

After dinner, venture out on an optional night walk, listening to the mysterious sounds of the jungle and spotting frogs, insects, and nocturnal creatures in their magical habitat.

Wake to the gentle flutter of colorful birds visiting the lodge, sharing a serene moment together. After a leisurely breakfast, a smooth transfer brings you to secluded volcanic hot springs on the Amazon side of the Andes.

These mineral-rich, practically odorless waters are not only deeply relaxing but also beneficial for well-being. Just steps from your cozy room, you and your loved one can luxuriate in the gentle warmth, feel the soft mist on your skin, and let the sounds of the rainforest lull you into relaxation.

Begin your romantic morning with a soothing soak in warm, mineral-rich pools. Besides, you can opt to take a gentle nature walk, spot colorful birds, or indulge in spa treatments.

At the appointed time, a comfortable private transfer will bring you to your hotel, conveniently located near Quito airport for your onward journey to the Galapagos Islands.

Begin your romantic escape as you fly to the Galápagos Islands, a paradise where nature sets the perfect backdrop for love. Upon landing at Baltra Airport, you'll be warmly greeted and escorted to your stylish yacht, where your voyage begins in true elegance.

This afternoon, set ashore on the Santa Cruz Island to share an intimate adventure at El Chato Reserve, where ancient giant tortoises roam freely in the misty highlands. Wander through lush trails and serene lagoons to encounter these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Return for dinner and overnight.

An exciting day unfolds as you start off to explore Sullivan Bay, where vast jet-black shores are shaped by dramatic, uneroded pahoehoe lava flows from eruptions just over a century ago. Walking across its rippled, rope-like formations feels like traversing the surface of the moon.

This afternoon, journey to the volcanic islet of Bartholomew, scattered with spatter cones and craters. As you hike to the summit side by side, the archipelago's most iconic view - Pinnacle Rock rising majestically from turquoise waters - unfolds in front of your eyes.

Kick off the day exploring North Seymour Island, teeming with prolific wildlife. Walk along its looping trails framed by cliffs and sparkling waters, coming within feet of magnificent frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies.

Next, move forward to the jagged, cactus-studded terrain of South Plaza, a surreal "Jurassic islet" that feels like a world frozen in time. Here, watch land iguanas - the majestic "Galápagos dragons", sea lions, and seabirds soaring along dramatic cliffs.

Today's journey begins at the iconic Pitt Point on San Cristóbal Island, where Darwin first glimpsed the Galápagos aboard the HMS Beagle. Towering wind-sculpted tuff cones rise dramatically from the shore, framing breathtaking coastal vistas.

In the afternoon, the scenery softens at Witch Hill, famed for its sweeping crescent of dazzling white sand and crystal-clear waters. Wander barefoot along the beach, glide together in a kayak, or dive in to snorkel among colorful reef fish.

Moring brings an informative visit to the Interpretation centre near Puerto Baquerizo, delving deep into the epic story of the islands.

After that, your guide will assist you with seamless transfers by dinghy and shuttle to San Cristóbal Airport. Board your flight to the mainland, carrying unforgettable memories and stunning Galápagos snapshots home.
