The art of travelling with respect
The Alta is a stylish yacht with tastefully decorated cabins and saloon. You can enjoy fine food on the Alta either in the dining salon or on the foredeck, and there are many places for relaxing or enjoying the sun. In appropriate conditions the sails may be hoisted, but please note that this happens fairly infrequently.
March 2010 - The Alta is no longer available.

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.
International flights to Quito or Guayaquil will add from about £750 to £1000 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). You will also need internal flights from the mainland to the islands which cost about £275 to £350. A Galapagos National Park tax is payable on arrival - currently $100. A few yachts also offer shorter or longer cruises. Charter cruises are also available. Please ask for details.
For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
2010: Guide price per person. Cabins 1 & 2 from £3160; Cabins 3 - 8 from £3030.
