Naomi Boutique Kosher Tours is proud to announce the much-awaited

first ever LAND-BASED kosher tour

to the Galápagos & Ecuador – 9 DAYS

June 4 – 12, 2017: Very Limited Availability

Day 1 Sunday June 4 – Home to Guayaquil

Welcome to Ecuador and the city of Guayaquil, gateway to the Galapagos islands!

Arriving to and leaving from Guayaquil is a much more comfortable option than

Quito from every aspect, and this tour is all about comfort.

There are flights from NY, TLV and all

points to bring you to Guyaquil (GYE) on Sunday including a DIRECT overnight

flight from JFK.

On arrival at Guayaquil's Airport you will be met and transferred to our hotel, just

a very short drive away. The remainder

of the day is for you to relax and recover from the trip. We’ll look after you meal-

wise irrespective of your arrival time.

Over dinner, you will receive a briefing where we will explain all the tour details.

Dinner won’t be fancy but there is a brand new (Israeli-style) kosher restaurant in

Guyaquil that we will support!!!!

Accommodation: Wyndham Hotel, Guayaquil, 5*

Day 2 Monday June 5 – Guayaquil - Galapagos

This morning we will be transferred to the airport for the flight to the Galapagos Islands. We will be met in the arrival hall of the airport by a National Park Guide,

and transferred to our fabulous “home” for the next few days - Pikaia Lodge.

Accommodation: Pikaia Lodge http://pikaialodge.com/

For a better understanding about this hotel’s unique aims and concept, click here. If you want to know why Naomi Tours has chosen to visit the Galapagos islands

staying on land, here it is: we are offering our guests the ability to sleep in absolute

luxury in a fabulous brand new hotel without taking anything away from the Galapagos experience.

The hotel is being transformed IN ITS ENTIRETY to kosher for the duration of our

stay and this combination will, we believe, make this the ULTIMATE tour to the Galapagos for the Kosher traveler.

All day tours will be on our own private boats!!

Day 3 Tuesday

June 6 – Seymour

Island The small island of

North Seymour is

home to many

different species of animals, and is the

best place to see the

frigate birds with their bulbous red throats,

watch the iconic blue

footed boobies dance, spot land and marine

iguanas, and search

for Galapagos sea lions

and fur seals.

On a two-hour walk around this magical island you’ll also spy other sea birds like

swallow-tailed gulls and shearwater, as well as many tropical birds. After the walk

you’ll return to the boat for lunch, then sail to Bachas beach on Santa Cruz Island.

This is a nesting area for sea turtles and there’s a small lagoon where flamingoes

can occasionally be seen. You’ll also strap on your mask for some snorkelling through the beautiful waters.

Day 4 Wednesday June 7 – Bartolome Island

Bartolome is the most

recognizable and

photographed island in the archipelago thanks to

its distinctive pinnacle

rock.

You’ll walk along a wood

trail to the top of this once-active volcano,

seeing the different lava

rock formations that

were created during the formation of island on

the way.

At the top you’ll have a

fantastic panoramic

across to Santiago Island’s Sullivan Bay – look out for the surrounding plants like lava cactus, as well

as Darwin`s finches.

After the walk, we’ll take a

zodiac ride along the island to meet the cheeky

Galapagos penguins, and

then disembark on the beach

for some snorkelling.

This is a great place to see

white tip reef sharks, sea turtles, many fish, and

maybe swim alongside sea

lions.

Then it’s back to our hotel.

Day 5 Thursday June 8 – Santa Cruz Today we will visit Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the Galapagos. This is

the picture you’ve all been waiting to take!!!!!

The small town of Puerto Ayora is the economic center of the archipelago, and

home to the Charles Darwin Research Station. As well as undertaking vital

conservation work, the station also makes for interesting exploration and offers the best opportunities for close encounters with giant tortoises. You will also observe

baby tortoises and land iguanas.

Afterward we’ll head up into the highlands for a total change of scenery. Beginning

at the coast we'll travel across Santa Cruz through the agricultural region and into

the misty forests. This is a lush humid zone containing miconia bushes, scalesia and inactive volcanic cones. Santa Cruz has more endemic plants than any of the other

islands and you are likely to see Galapagos giant tortoises in their natural habitat

and perhaps even the bright red feathers of a vermillion flycatcher!

For operational reasons the group will have to split into two smaller groups on

certain days but everyone will see everything!!

Day 6 Friday June 9 – Santa Cruz - Guayaquil

We say goodbye to the Galapagos today and take a flight back to Guayaquil arriving at about mid-day. Shabbat starts at 18.00!!

Day 7 Shabbat June 10 –

Guayaquil

Shabbat will again be in the

Guayaquil Wyndham and we’ll eat with the small community before

leaving Sunday morning for a couple

of days in Quito.

Day 8 Sunday June 11 – Guayaquil - Quito

This morning we'll drive straight from the airport to visit the famous Otavalo Market. Villagers from the surrounding area travel to Otavalo each week to sell

their wares. You'll find everything from handmade goods to fruit and vegetables, to

livestock. Many of the regional indigenous communities still wear traditional dress

of intricately woven fabrics and the men often tie their hair into long ponytails. On the way back to Quito will visit as much of the beautiful countryside around Otavalo

as time will allow, so please wear comfortable footwear as the terrain can be

unpredictable.

Accommodation Marriott Hotel

Day 9 Monday June 12 – Quito – home This morning we’ll visit Quito. We’ll explore Quito's Old Town with its countless churches, engrossing history and wonderful museums. We visit the Panecillo hill in

then we come down to see the Presidential Palace and Independence Square.

After lunch we’ll transfer to airport for your international flight.
