Luxury Class
Our Luxury tours include the same exceptional service and itinerary as “Moderate” and “First Class,” the difference being your accommodation: Galapagos Islands’ most extravagant version of a Resort Hotel. All Luxury class hotels include a pool, hot tub, and oceanfront dining. Ocean views from individual rooms likely but not guaranteed. Luxury hotels may also include elevated decor, amenities, scenery and service. Being located in Galapagos, your hosts at GIA are very familiar with each hotel and their staff, and will always ensure that our guests receive the best rooms available as well as the most attentive service at all times.
First Class
Our First Class tours include the same exceptional service and itinerary as “Luxury” (including private guide and private transportation), with the difference being the hotel accommodation. Our first class hotels are beautiful, with most including pools, waterfront restaurants and water views based upon availability. Being located in Galapagos, your hosts at GIA are very familiar with each hotel and their staff, and will always ensure that our guests receive the best rooms available as well as the most attentive service at all times.
Moderate Class
Guests choosing our Moderate tours enjoy the same exceptional service and itinerary as “First Class” and “Luxury” (including private guide and private transportation), but with cost savings in the hotel accommodation. Our Moderate hotels are still very nice and conveniently located, just a few less bells & whistles (such as water views, pools and waterfront restaurants).
