I've got a reserved spot on the Galapagos Aggressor I for the Oct. 2-9, 2008 trip available. Unfortunately, due to a personal schedule conflict, I will not be able to go on this once in a life time trip!! The trip has been arranged through
Asia Divers (European owned/ operated) in Puerto Galera, Philippines . I've been a frequent visitor to their dive resort and have previously been on their Cocos Island Okeanos Aggressor trip. The resort organizes overseas liveaboard trips annually (Fiji (Aggressor). N. Sulawesi (Aggressor), Maldives (Peter Hughes), etc) and I can personally attest that their trips are well organized and usually consist of a fun, international crowd. As for diving in the Galapagos Island, I don't think I need to make much of a sales pitch there...
I had a group of friends who were on the Galapagos Aggressor a few months earlier and they still can't stop talking about the trip.
These Galapagos Aggressor spots get booked up years in advance!! I am looking for someone to replace me on this trip at cost. Just trying to recoup my deposit.
Trip and boat details are available on the Aggressor website
here. Take a good look at the "know before you go" pdf.
The package price is
$3,295 (2009 rates are going up to $4,000+!). Shared room. Please note the extras below:
**Additional approx $400 for r/t flight from Guayaquil to San Cristobal (I believe Aggressor office arranges these flights on your behalf)
TAXES AND FEES
The following taxes and fees are charged during your trip to Galapagos:
$100 Galapagos Park Entry fee (cash only)
$100 Fuel Surcharge
$70 Port Charge
$26 Departure tax(Guayaquil)
$10 Galapagos Visa Card
12% Sales tax on all on board services
full board + beverages (non alcoholic and alcoholic) included
And of course, you need to arrange your own flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador...
All rates are quoted in USD. $3,295 payment would be made directly to Asia Divers. Above taxes and fees are paid to the Aggressor during the trip. PM me if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Mike
