A large leisurely breakfast or a sumptuous brunch buffet on Sunday is a nice bookend to a busy week. Donna Mah tests the best.

Sundays are for relaxing and eating. One of the best ways to pass the day is to go for Sunday brunch. Years ago, it was not so easy to find a good place for brunch, but nowadays, we are spoiled for choice.

For some, Sunday brunch means eggs - sunny-side up, over-easy, poached or soft-boiled. For others, it means a buffet with a waffle station and free-flowing champagne.

Either way, it is a good time for people to catch up and talk about the week ahead, or just sit and enjoy the weekend newspaper.

Sustainable, Land-Based Multi-Island Touring

Boulder, CO -- Company is Breaking New Ground with Island Hopping Land Alternatives To What Has Traditionally Been a Cruise-Only Vacation Destination

Red Mangrove Galapagos Lodges (www.redmangrove.com), an up-and-coming hospitality company that is pioneering responsible, multi-island, land-based touring in the Galapagos, has secured PADI Dive Resort certification for its lodge operatio ns. In so doing the company underscores its commitment to programming that supports sustainability in this fragile ecosystem.

Red Mangrove Galapagos Lodges is the life work of native Ecuadorian Hernan Rodas whose passion for and commitment to the Galapagos led to the creation of the region’s foremost branded travel option for visitors who prefer a sustainable, land-based option to a cruise experience.

Until Red Mangrove Galapagos Lodges began offering multiple island hospitality in 2007, the Galapagos was primarily a cruise-only destination. Today the company is the leading lodge-to-lodge operation in the region, setting standards for quality and responsible tourism.

“The PADI programs give us yet another way to help our guests immerse themselves in the natural world here,” said Rodas. He noted that the dive environments close to the company’s lodges are as diverse as the islands themselves.

“We encourage our visitors to island hop among our three lodges to experience the magnificent diversity of nature, scenery and, of course, people,” he said, noting that his is the only company in the Galapagos that can welcome guests to its doors on multiple islands while maintaining consistent quality and service throughout.

Guests of Red Mangrove Galapagos Lodges may choose from a selection of set itineraries of varying lengths or create their own private bespoke adventure. Daily activities include naturalist tours, wildlife viewing, snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking and more. Red Mangrove’s certified PADI Dive operations offer the latest equipment, expert instructors and safety features. For divers, novice to advanced, Red Mangrove offers a wealth of options and packages (see www.divingingalapagos.com).

Prices vary per length of stay, party size and chosen itinerary. 2010 rates for the popular 8 Day / 7 Night Full Adventure in Galapagos program start at $2,602 per person, double occupancy and include; 10% service charge, all meals noted in the itinerary, excursions with English speaking naturalist guides, boat transfers between lodges, free use of bikes when in Puerto Ayora and Isabela and all snorkeling gear. There is a 25% discount for children under 10 years old.
