Haugan Cruises & Red Mangrove Hotel THE GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR
The Galápagos is a bucket list destination, the place where Charles Darwin got the inspiration for his masterly publication On The Origin of Species in 1859. The Galápagos is an archipelago formed by 22 islands and more than 107 islets. One of the best ways to enjoy this magical destination is aboard a cruise, which gives guests the opportunity to visit different islands, all of them rich in wildlife with their own unique landscapes and wildlife. Haugan Cruises, a company with 14
years’ experience of operating in and around The Galápagos Islands, offers different programmes from between four and 15 days. The company owns two luxury mega catamarans, the MC Ocean Spray and MC Petrel, as well as the MT Camila, which is a new trimaran for 2018. All have an onboard team that provide a superb service catering to the most diverse requirements. Each boat has capacity for 16 people, ample cabins all with private balconies,
and a cruise manager aboard as well as an AAA naturalist guide. Additionally, Haugan has acquired the
Red Mangrove Hotel, an iconic waterfront hotel on Santa Cruz Island. Refurbished and rebranded as the Red Mangrove Hotel by Haugan, interaction with the wildlife on the deck of the hotel and gorgeous views of the Academy Bay are some of the highlights of this property. Located a few steps from Charles Darwin Station and a two-minute walk from the town of Puerto Ayora, this is an excellent base from which to discover another side of the stunning Galápagos Islands. This is a perfect option pre- or post-cruise. The hotel has six superior rooms, six standard rooms and five suites, and four-, five- and eight-day packages can be arranged, depending on travellers’ needs and requirements. It’s possible for guests to see the many
sides of Santa Cruz Island, where the hotel is located, and its surroundings on a variety of day tours.
