Galápagos Islands: March 11-17, 2026
Into the Wild Galapagos is a unique chance to, simply put, have a wild time with other amazing women, experience new culture, see amazing wildlife and connect with the outdoors. the amount of animals we will see is mind blowing- a wild time, indeed!
Come unite in one of the most exotic locations on earth, the GALAPAGOS ISLANDS! Experience the stunning beaches, wildlife, and day tours!
This trip is NOT a cruise based retreat. It is a land-based retreat, which means we will be staying on two islands over the duration and taking day trips via boat each day with talented nature guides. The benefits to a land based trip is that it’s more affordable, you aren’t cooped up on a ship every evening, and you can enjoy local experiences and explore the cute towns more.
At $3399, you really cannot do this kind of fun, educational and adventurous vacation at a better price. All transport, meals and activities are included! Leave it to Into the Wild to provide you with the BEST possible experience without you having to do any of the research.
Imagine having the time of your life, without having to do any planning, booking, or arranging? Experiences you don’t have to lift a finger for or plan? Delicious food? A tour of islands unlike any other? Rare wild animals? Easy hiking/Nature Walks? YOU NAME IT! We will be doing it. IMAGINE!
This retreat is for the woman interested in maximum fun in a beautiful place. We will combine adventure with learning and send you home feeling amazing. I am a firm believer that fun and adventure is key to a fulfilling and happy life.
Below is the information on what you come away with from this retreat.
Cost for the Galápagos Islands land tour is $3399 for 7 nights. All lodging, food, and transportation during the retreat is included except snacks and souvenirs and alcohol.
