GALAPAGOS ADVENTURES
Galapagos Islands

MOUNTAIN TRAVEL SOBEK'S GALAPAGOS ADVENTURES NOW SAVE $750.00 ON CHILDREN 17 AND YOUNGER!
An adventure in the Galapagos Islands is arguably one of the world's best family vacations (relaxation and fun plus education-how could a family vacation get any better?). And now, Mountain Travel Sobek, North America's leading adventure travel tour operator is offering special savings of $750.00 for children 17 and younger on all regularly scheduled Galapagos adventures departing in 2002.


Mountain Travel Sobek has been offering sailing and motor yacht expeditions in the Galapagos Islands since 1970, and has garnered an enviable reputation as the expert in small group voyages. The company takes great pride in offering adventures with top-notch naturalist guides, active itineraries that showcase the best of the islands, and the most comfortable accommodations (and delicious cuisine!) aboard deluxe sailing or motor yachts that hold just 12-18 passengers. The fame of the Galapagos Islands has spread far and wide, but nothing prepares you for seeing it with your own eyes. The astonishing wildlife-with many endemic species-has never learned fear of humans, so visitors are treated to first rate encounters with an enchanting menagerie of iguanas, tortoises, sea lions, fur seals, a host of seabirds, and even penguins! (The rare, one-foot-tall Galapagos penguin inhabits these equatorial waters.) And Mountain Travel Sobek offers an adventure that's "as active as you want to be." Twice-daily nature walks, sea kayaking outings, and swimming and snorkeling excursions (underwater experiences unlike anywhere else in the world!) make for a truly enriching, satisfying experience.

This perfect year-round getaway is a dream trip any nature enthusiast (or kid at heart) will rejoice in for a lifetime. More than thirty 11-day trips depart year-round, assuring a getaway that fits anyone's busy calendar. (Private yacht charters are also available.) Land/cruise costs are from $3,395.00-$3,695.00, plus the $750.00 discount for children 17 and younger. In addition to all cruise arrangements, the trip cost includes three night's hotel accommodation in Quito, airport transfers, and basic medical and evacuation insurance.
