Thank you so much for your interest in TBA Escapes “Luxury Yacht Eco Expedition”. We’re very excited to extend an invitation and let you know that we’d love to have you join this once-in-a-lifetime expedition to the Galapagos Islands from June 30 – July 7, 2024!
Due to the size of our waiting list, there is a firm deposit deadline in order to hold your spot — if there is some reason you are unable to pay within 48 hours, or can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible. Your deposit will go towards your total payment for the tour.
Please take into consideration that while this is a Luxury Yacht Eco Expedition, we want to highlight that a significant portion of the experience involves engaging in nature and water-based activities, including ample time for snorkeling. It’s important to note that all these activities are optional. So, if your preference is to spend more time on the boat, the choice is entirely yours. You can opt-out of specific activities to create more leisure time for yourself.

The total tour price is $10,395 USD and the payment plan we offer is broken into two payments as follows:
Please read the following before paying your deposit:
Travel medical insurance is mandatory. Our minimum insurance policy coverage for medical emergency evacuation and repatriation is $200,000 USD.
We don’t accept Credit Card insurance as proof of travel insurance for our tours, therefore we recommend purchasing your travel insurance policy BEFORE making any payments.
Many of our guests opt for World Nomads Travel Insurance, however, we encourage you to shop around for a policy that is best suited for your needs. Other insurance providers include Allianz Travel Insurance, Nationwide Travel Insurance, John Hancock Travel, and many more.
Please note that all of our tour payments are non-refundable and travel insurance will only cover cancellations for covered reasons such as the unexpected illness of you or a family member, severe weather, or job loss.
If you would like to purchase “cancel for any reason” coverage, it is more expensive but will usually cover you for up to 50-75% of the total cost of the trip. Some policies that offer “cancel for any reason” include John Hancock “Gold” Travel Insurance and Nationwide “Prime” Travel Insurance. These policies also need to be purchased before a deadline—typically within 14 days of making a trip deposit.
NOTE: When selecting the dates of your travel insurance policy, please keep your travel dates in mind should you choose to fly in a day early or stay an additional night per our recommendation. For example, if you need to fly out on January 8th to arrive in time for a tour starting on January 10th, you will want to enter your insurance coverage start date as of January 8th.
If you have been looking to get a travel reward credit card, you can take advantage of earning a sign-up bonus by applying for one before a big trip or purchase (like your TBA Escapes Trip)! Most cards have a required minimum spend to earn the bonus miles offered (ex. spend $3,000 in 3 months to earn 50,000 bonus miles), so many of our previous guests opted to apply before making their payments for the tour.
If you’re interested, we’d suggest applying after you’ve paid your deposit. Once approved, you should receive your card within 1-2 weeks so you can use it to pay for your flight and tour payments. You can see some of our favorite cards here!
Some of the biggest benefits of a travel reward credit card are earning points to use for free flights and hotels. Plus, many cards offer additional points when making travel-related purchases. Some cards also offer additional travel protection when you pay for a trip with the card.
Right now, the Chase Sapphire Preferred has an incredible 80k bonus point offer! We’re more than happy to consult with you if you are unsure of the best card for you. Just let us know if you’d like some help!
After paying your deposit, you will be added to our tour Facebook group where you can connect with your fellow travelers!
If you are planning on traveling regionally before or after the tour, feel free to share your plans in the Facebook group. We’re also more than happy to help provide some suggestions. Just let us know what travel plans you have in mind.
“This was my second tour with TBA Escapes and it far exceeded my expectations. Caity and Kiki took care of every detail and partnered with an amazing eco yacht line (Ecoventura) that defined luxury cruise – outstanding accommodations, impeccable service, delicious cuisine, and unreal vistas. We had 2 Naturalist guides that presented the pristine beauty and wildlife of the Galapagos Islands perfectly as we explored each destination. The pace of the tour was just right with a mix of nature excursions and educational activities. This was a bucket-list trip that I will never forget and am privileged to have shared with other like-minded women!”
“The Galapagos trip in July 2023 was my second TBA Escapes adventure – and it wildly exceeded my expectations. From pre-trip communication, to accommodations (Evolve and its crew were top notch!) and activities, I was incredibly impressed. It was such a special place to visit, and I really appreciated the incorporation of the history of the islands and its inhabitants – it made it much more meaningful. We had a great group of women, and I enjoyed learning from and about all of them. It will be very hard to top this trip – it has a special place in my heart for sure!”
“This was my second tour with TBA Escapes and it was really incredible. It exceeded all of my expectations. The Galápagos are a huge trip and I felt that we were able to do and see so much with a perfect mix of relaxing with cocktails and watching the sunset and swimming with sea lions and taking awesome nature walks. I felt the tour was adventurous, and our guides were really awesome. Definitely worth every penny and I will absolutely be joining another tour ASAP. I also love that every single detail is taken care of and you can just show up and enjoy the trip.”
“The Galapagos tour was an incredible experience from beginning to end! Prior to the trip, TBA Escapes assisted with our preparation, including sending a packing list (complete with photos, tips, and links) — which was very helpful since the unique climate and activities in the Galapagos required some special clothing and equipment. The daily schedule was curated with the perfect balance of activities and downtime. Experiencing the wonder of this amazing destination alongside a group of women who share a passion for adventure and learning elevated the experience to a level above and beyond my (high) expectations. I left the tour feeling completely fulfilled yet relaxed. I can’t wait to book my next (…fourth!) tour with TBA Escapes!”
“The TBA Galapagos tour is amazing! The enchanted islands have always been a bucket list destination for me and the chance to experience this magical place with a group of amazing women was too good to pass up. The ship is amazing, the guides are knowledgeable, the organization is great, and the amount of activities is perfect. Almost every day you get to be in the water with wild unique amazing animals as well as seeing them on land and from the ship. The crew are so accommodating and caring and made the whole trip feel so luxurious. There’s no better way to see the Galápagos Islands than with a group of like minded women who are experiencing the magic right beside you around every corner!”
“TBA Escapes took me on an incredible adventure to Ecuador and the Galápagos! This was my first experience with any sort of tour-based trip and it definitely set the bar pretty high! The communication leading up to and during the tour was exceptional. Every detail was thought out and even though we had a group of 18 girls, I felt like I had individual attention when it came to coordinating my flights and hotel arrangements, as I arrived and stayed longer in Ecuador. The group of women was inspiring and positive adventurous travel companions, who made the experience that much better! I will definitely be booking another trip with TBA Escapes in the future!”
“The TBA Escapes Tour to the Galápagos was an experience I will never forget. The Galápagos never really crossed my mind as a typical travel destination for me. The Blonde Abroad inspired me to visit this pristine location and I could not be more thankful that I was able to travel here with TBA Escapes. If I had not traveled to the Galápagos with TBA Escapes, I don’t think that I would have the same appreciation for my time there. Being with a group of women who also have the same appreciation for travel and new experiences made it that much more special. TBA Escapes’ attention to detail when planning and organizing this trip was much appreciated. I can honestly say that I will be telling all my female friends to take a trip with TBA Escapes if they ever get the opportunity to. I can’t wait to see what new destinations are added to TBA Escapes in the future and I am already itching to go on another adventure!”
The Galápagos Islands are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This was a personal bucket list item I can cross. The TBA escapes tour was very well executed from start to finish. Our naturalist guides were highly trained and knowledgeable on all things Galápagos. Tba did an amazing job selecting the boat, guides, and accommodations for this trip. Having the opportunity to travel with a diverse group of women was empowering and enriching. The trip provided a safe haven to explore new ground and cultivate new memories. I’m looking forward to my future trips within TBA escapes.
