Green Galapagos Travel: Ecotour Company Offers Unique Small-Group Galapagos Tours

(PRLEAP.COM) Boulder, Colorado – April 23, 2009 – If recent Galapagos tour evolution has been too much towards larger cruises and more crowding, one award-winning ecotour company is determined to keep its Galapagos travel small-scale, unique and sustainable. With its own brand of nature-focused small-boat or local lodge-based travel, Natural Habitat Adventures (http://www.nathab.com) emphasizes small-group one-of-a-kind Galapagos ecotours-including the exclusive chance to camp under the stars in a tree house and tented camp amid giant tortoise habitat-and World Wildlife Fund-approved conservation education focused on the real-world issues that landed the once pristine Galapagos Islands on UNESCO’s World Heritage in Danger list.

Natural Habitat Adventures’ year-round Classic Galapagos and summer Family Galapagos tours include an on-island camping option, top local guides, and accommodations on a 20-person yacht owned by an Ecuadorian family responsible for creating the first hybrid energy tour boat and committed to outfitting its entire fleet with sustainable technology by 2011. The 11-day trips start from $4,695 per person, double occupancy, for adults. Another rare opportunity to experience the islands from a fresh perspective, the Galapagos by Land trip takes advantage of local lodgings chosen for their remote authenticity and comfort, like cool new cliff-side Lava Lodge cabins on Floreana. The 11-day land-based trip is offered February through August starting from $4,995. For details on all of Natural Habitat Adventures’ Galapagos offerings, visit www.nathab.com/galapagos.

Natural Habitat Adventures gives back to the Galapagos Islands it visits with local education scholarships, local business support, conservation education and sustainable practices. A member of Adventure Collection and exclusive Conservation Travel Provider to World Wildlife Fund, the company’s recent awards include a 2009 Best Adventure Travel Company ranking from National Geographic Adventure and a 2008 World’s Best Tour Operator rating from Travel + Leisure. All Natural Habitat Adventures trips are carbon neutral. For information, visit www.nathab.com.
