    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 - Amazon River Journey
Fly from Quito to the town of Coca (officially known as Francisco de Orellana) on the Napo River. After a short drive from the airport to the dock, board a large, motorized, covered canoe for a scenic two-hour trip down the Napo River. Upon descending into the protected reserves of the Amazon basin, trade your motorized canoe for a smaller dugout canoe powered by local oarsmen. Motorized transport is not allowed so that wildlife isn't disturbed. This paddle can take anywhere from one to three hours depending on wildlife sightings and weather. Along the way watch for mighty Giant Otters, kingfishers, Hoatzins, jacamars, hawks, and monkeys. Upon arrival check into your Amazon jungle lodge, resting peacefully to the sounds of the rain forest.
