Passion

The Galápagos Islands are a wonderland. If I say that of all places I have visited in the world only the Grand Canyon is their equal in impact and living up to expectation you will have an idea of how they affected both of us.

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

CH, Epsom

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.

Highlight of your trip?: Snorkeling in the Galapagos

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

DG, Neston

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

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

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

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

SC, London, SW11

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

DL, Dulwich

The range of wildlife to be seen in the Galapagos stood out but there were so many highlights.

TH, Colchester

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

SD, Rochester

The Galapagos blew me away. was even better than I expected. it never felt crowded and the guides and crew made us feel as thought we were special.

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

KH, London

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

DW, Stevenage

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

AB, St Neots

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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

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

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!

CG, Stratchcarron

PM, Chesterfield

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

LF

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

DJ, Saltash

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

JC, Littlehampton

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

PJ, London

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.

AL

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

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 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

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.
