Billings, MT - Austin-Lehman Adventures (ALA) http://www.austinlehman.com/, the active travel company setting adventure tour standards in Yellowstone National Park, Europe, Africa and beyond, announces two options for exploring one of the world's most iconic vacation destinations.
Choices are by land or by sea for a Galapagos holiday, announced Dan Austin, owner of Austin-Lehman Adventures. The company engages Red Mangrove Galapagos and Ecuador Lodges for its land-based, island-hopping programs and for expedition cruising, the eco-sensitive, visionary small ship company, Ecoventura.
"We're thrilled that we can offer a choice of upscale, active vacation programs in this astonishing environment," said Austin. "Bottom line for each option is that our travel partners practice the highest standards of sustainability on behalf of this region - without sacrificing the level of service and activity that our clients count on."
Each program runs eight days and seven nights with weekly departures throughout 2011. The Galapagos land-based option utilizes three intimate lodges on three islands and is priced from $3,016 per adult. Guests are motored by high-speed boat among the islands. See:
