AWARD-WINNING HOTEL
An award-winning hotel with its own yacht. This, you’ll discover, is the prime base from which to explore the marine world and land-based wildlife of the Galapagos Islands.
If you’re taking a luxury, tailor-made holiday to the Galapagos Islands you’ll find that the Finch Bay Eco Hotel makes a brilliant base – not least because it has its own private yacht, waiting to sail you to little known islands and famous Galapagos must-visit destinations.
The hotel is also set just a few steps from a secluded beach, across the bay from Puerto Ayora. Which means that you’ll be able to explore all aspects of the Galapagos National Park – from the startling, land-based flora and fauna that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution, to the immaculately preserved undersea world of these unique islands.
Small wonder the Finch Bay Eco Hotel has won the highly prized ‘South America’s Leading Green Hotel’ award every year since 2012.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
