    Galapagos Motor Yacht Eric/Letty/Flamingo Cruise

    Thank you for the most incredible experience! We just came back from our trip to the Galapagos. We were on the Eric - a terrific yacht and an even greater team. The islands are beyond belief, but I wanted to tell you how perfect the entire trip was.  Everything went incredibly smoothly from our arrival (late) in Quito where our guide was waiting for us despite the late hour, to all transfers, luggage and ticket arrangements - everything. Our guides were fabulous, as was the entire crew, including the Captain.  AdventureSmith Explorations did a terrific job!

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive Anchorage
Arrive independently at the Anchorage airport where a hotel courtesy shuttle brings you to your downtown Anchorage hotel. The remainder of the afternoon is yours to explore this cosmopolitan city on your own.

Day 2 - Fly to Katmai National Park
A hotel courtesy shuttle takes you to the Anchorage Airport. Fly Anchorage to King Salmon and transfer to a seaplane for the short scenic flight to Brooks Lodge. This afternoon is free to explore the surrounding area. After a brief orientation by the National Park Service you may want to go fishing or join the afternoon nature walk. The big attraction is a visit to the bear viewing platform above Brooks Falls. Each year bears congregate here because of the prolific salmon runs. Because the platform is well managed by the National Park Service, bears are habituated to visitors and behave in a natural manner providing the experience of a lifetime for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. This evening there are slide shows, films, lectures, sunsets and a bar for evening enjoyment. Overnight in a double cabin.
