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

JB, Chiswick

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

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

Highlight?: Probably a sea lion playing underneath me and showing off whilst I was snorkelling.  Beautiful.  

DD, Uxbridge

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 Islands were something else- quite outstanding for the wonderful wildlife and abundant sea life while snorkelling.

CP

The Galápagos cruise was just so good. I don't think I can remember enjoying a recent trip so much.

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 highlight was always going to be the Galápagos and it lived up to our expectations. It is a unique place and unlike our last visit we came away with hundreds of photographs to remind us of the trip.

NW, Wells

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

DW, Stevenage

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

LB, Enfield

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

LE, Poole

Our time on the Galápagos Islands was unique to us, the wildlife was fabulous, we enjoyed every minute of it.

BT, Ware

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 Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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.

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

Breathtaking

The Galápagos - just breathtaking - 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

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

DJ, Saltash

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

CH, Epsom

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

PJ, London

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

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

SC, London, SW11

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

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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