Accommodation
The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation. Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if weโre arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isnโt always possible which means we wonโt be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available. SINGLE SUPPLEMENT NOT AVAILABLE: Due to hotel availability a single supplement is not available on this trip. Hotel (8 nights)

Guide
All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leader or local representative. The aim of the group leader or local representative is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced group leader or local representative however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your group leader or local representative is new to a particular region or training other group leader or local representative. Your group leader or local representative will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your group leader or local representative can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip. On Day 1, you will meet your Quito Leader at the welcome meeting. The following morning, they will assist you with your transfer to the airport and unescorted flight to the Galapagos. Upon arrival in the Galapagos, you will be met by your Galapagos Leader. All of our Galapagos Leaders are registered and trained in conservation and natural sciences by the Charles Darwin Foundation and licensed by the Galapagos National Park Service. Your Galapagos Leader will be with you throughout your time on the islands, accompanying you on all included excursions. On your last day in the Galapagos, your Leader will take you to the airport for your unescorted flight back to Quito. Upon arrival at Quito airport, a local Quito Leader will be waiting to accompany you back to your hotel, where you will spend your final night of the tour.
