Galapagos Islands wildlife, guide and boat. To be so close to birds and animals is a privilege and to see such pristine beaches and scenery is lovely.

SJ, Winchelsea

The Galápagos Islands were fantastic and beyond our wildest expectations.

AC

The Galapagos animals, scenery and sea were out of this world, just fabulous

CH, Epsom

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

Truly a unique lifetime experience, especially snorkelling for the first time with playful sea lions, sea turtles, penguins, rays and ‘tame’ wildlife.

SD, Rochester

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

FM, Manchester

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

DW, Stevenage

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

JC, Littlehampton

The Galápagos were above expectation – the best thing we have done.

Highlight of your trip?: Snorkeling in the Galapagos

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

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

DJ, Chesterfield

How close we could get to the wildlife in the Galápagos.

DG, Neston

One of us had not snorkelled for a very long time and was hesitant in deep water. Martin the Naturalist on MV Eclipse helped her overcome her fears and enabled her to accompany him resulting in amazing underwater views that she would not have had. The whole trip was memorable for both of us... We just loved the Galapagos.

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

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

AD, Dublin

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

The trip around the Galápagos was spectacular and I have never experienced anything like it before.

LB, Enfield

The attention to environmental concerns on the Galápagos was first rate.  The national park is a pristine environment and every effort is being made to keep it that way.

PT, Peterborough

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

AB, St Neots

A truly wonderful and privileged experience!

RD, Ashford

Wonderful experience

Isolation on the Islands a feeling of being in the Galapagos by invitation of the inhabitants - the wildlife. A truly wonderful and privileged experience.

SD, Rochester

This was our holiday of a lifetime fulfilling a long held desire to visit the Galápagos Islands, and it lived up to all our expectations.

SH, Aylesbury

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

The wildlife on the islands (obviously the major reason for the trip) was spectacular and wonderful to experience. I’m please to have made the trip and would certainly recommend the Galápagos to anyone with similar interests and sufficient money.

PM, Chesterfield

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.

DM, Nottingham

Everything came up to expectations but the highlight was the Galápagos Islands
