Archipel I

No-one should consider a Galápagos cruise of less then 8 days. We both had a holiday of a lifetime.

The close proximity of the wildlife in the Galapagos is amazing.

DW, Stevenage

The cabin upgrade was definitely worth the extra money, much more space and good sized windows!
 

LF, Alderley Edge

The Galápagos trip was very sympathetic to the environment and local habitat.

AD, Dublin

The most memorable experiences were walking in woodland with wild giant tortoise grazing in clearings, watching wild land iguanas amble through long grasses, peering at eye level into the nests of red footed boobies, watching penguins and sea lions hunting fish whilst snorkelling, and as a finale, watching huge sharks circling in the boat lights during our final evening meal.

JW, Newcastle

Visiting the Galápagos islands and coming so close to so many special species of animals and birds was a memorable experience.

JB, Chiswick

Unique experience

A holiday in Ecuador/the Galapagos is a once in a life time experience. A four day cruise whilst being an excellent 'overview' is just not long enough. Encourage all your customers to take the longest possible cruise.

DW, Lingfield

Galapagos was incredible. We loved it. The guides were all excellent and we especially enjoyed having guides with a naturalist qualification.

LE, Poole

The wildlife in the Galápagos was so totally unbothered by our presence.

SB, Leyland

So many (highlights) it's hard to single some out. The Galapagos are a joy from start to finish.

JC, Littlehampton

Most Memorable Moment?: The obvious answer is the whole thing!  If I had to choose, I'd say the experience of arriving at the top of the Prince Phillip Steps on Genovesa to be confronted by a sea of roosting and nesting seabirds completely unfazed by our presence. Of course I'd read about it in advance but nothing really prepares you for experiencing it for yourself.  Another key moment was going snorkelling for the first time at the age of 70 and immediately having underwater encounters with a sea lion and a green sea turtle. My prescience in investing in a GoPro camera ahead of the trip paid huge dividends in terms of lasting memories.

Highlights?: Snorkelling with green turtles sea lions and penguins

PW, Twickenham

Most Memorable Moment: Swimming with sea lions, following hundreds of dolphins on the boat, diving with penguins

KH, London

We loved snorkelling with marine iguanas, turtles, and the lovely playful sealions.

FM, Manchester

The Galápagos was so amazing - we were not at all disappointed even though we had looked forward to it so much. Every part of our cruise was special, and we loved the Athala and her itinerary.

RJ, Kenilworth

The Galapagos tour was our highlight because of the proximity and abundance of the wildlife.

AB, St Neots

"The Galápagos Islands and the amazing Machu Picchu ruins.  A real once in a lifetime experience."

MCP Richmond

I had wanted to travel to the Galápagos for many years.  My husband did not want to go, so I arranged the trip by myself and had a memorable time, whilst feeling very well looked after by JLA.

LF

The Galapagos Islands are spectacular and we are so glad we had the time to visit.  After a busy four days onboard La Pinta it was good to have a days break at Finch Bay.  It was certainly a well needed rest for us both.

EK, Saltash

A couple of days in the Galapagos when we didn't see any other people. Intimacy of swimming with sealions, turtles & being chased in the water by a flightless cormorant!

TC, St Albans

The Galápagos offer amazing access to stunning wild-life and a great week living on a boat.

PJ, London

Without a doubt, the Galapagos Islands were amazing. We feel very privileged.

SM, South Croydon

 Impossible to choose between the Galápagos and Easter Island - both are magical, special places.

SM, Wandsworth

The sealions were brilliant fun and the pups so cute, and so close. All the wildlife was great and seeing it all up close as nothing is afraid of humans, was amazing.

KH, Weybridge

A truly unique place on earth.

KS, Southampton

Snorkelling with penguins, turtles, sea lions and marine iguanas. Unbeatable.

DJ, Saltash

Being able to visit the Galápagos with a reputable company was a highlight - the boat was fantastic and everything about the holiday was first rate.

KF, Norfolk

The trip to to the Galapagos was the highlight undoubtedly - and the memories will remain with us for a long time -along with the huge photographic archive taken!
