For people who like to book an entire boat for a cruise,
Islazul Tours
can help you with the process. Contact us and let us know your preferred
boat class and we will check for availability. All boats listed in our
catalogue are available for charter trips to the islands.
As for the cost of the charter multiply the stated individual
price times the passenger capacity of the boat plus add the
flight costs.
As an incentive for you to book with us we include for free for your group
3 nights at our
Guesthouse Parque Italia (look it up at guesthouse), one
daytrip to Mitad del Mundo (see
tour.daytrip.M2) and four airport transfers.
Not included above is the $110.- per person park entrance fee
as that has to be paid personally by you on arrival at the airport in
Galapagos. Also not included is the snorkeling gear (mask, tube
and fins) and in case of scuba trips your personal scuba gear
(but
compressor on board, tanks and weight belts
are included).
On the daytrip are not included entrance fees to parks, museums or
monuments or all the meals
while residing in Quito.
NOTE: You should plan an extra buffer day in case your plane gets delayed
and you cannot get into Quito as scheduled. This happens occassionally
and you do not want to miss your charter cruise because of a thing like
that. That's why we offer 3 free nights at Parque Italia.
IMPORTANT:
Cruise charter should be done with ample time to spare, ideally at least
9 months ahead to assure you availabilities of boats. In some high
season periods like Christmas and Easter holidays, boats are often
already booked more than one year ahead.

Reservation and payment policy |
|
|
First contact us and tell us
the exact time period and
price class, either tourist, first class or luxury,
you are interested in. We check then
with the owners and
tell you
which boats
are available
for the cruise. We can hold available ships for 5 days only and
need then a decision by you (so please only contact us if you are ready
to commit yourself financially). Once you agree to a boat, a
deposit of $ 1000.- has to be paid
immediately to reserve you the charter cruise.
Then you have a month
to make the first payment of
35%
of the total value of the cruise. Once received, we
send you by E-mail a confirmation and an invoice. The final
payment has then to be received at least two months
before start of the cruise.
All payments are non-refundable in case of cancellations on your
part.
IMPORTANT: We
do not accept Credit Cards
either by Internet or at our office in Quito. So the payments have to
be made either in USD cash or by money wire to our banks either in USA
or Holland.
Money Wire: Once you like to book a
trip through us, we will give you the transaction details. Be aware that
all transaction fees, go on your account as the
two receiving banks do not charge us any transaction costs. The fees of your bank
has to be paid by you. Our bank in Holland, Europe accepts SWIFT
transfers in USD, CANADIAN DOLLARS and EUROS. For EURO transfers inside
the European Community you might also use IBAN
deposits as they are cheaper. Our Canadian and US customers
can make payments in USD or CAD by way of the ABA SYSTEM to our US bank. |
