    My guide was fabulous! Absolutely can’t say enough good things about him. Other than that, though, I was pretty disappointed with this tour. I’m honestly just not sure what I paid for? I guess hotels and transportation, but I feel like I could have organized this myself and saved a ton of money. It felt like NOTHING was included - no meals, no activities - everything worthwhile was an “optional add-on,” and the alternative was to just hang out at the beach. Which is fine, but again, something I could have sorted out on my own. I think y’all need to be more transparent about what you’re offering for the cost.

    Galapagos is a once-in-a-lifetime destination with stunning wildlife interaction, and everyone should experience it with a local professional who has the enthusiasm of Gustavo!

    What an adventure! I can't believe how much we packed into a week. Interacting with the animals was such a magical experience and Gustavo's insight and knowledge was the icing on the cake.

    The Galapagos has been one of my favorite places I?ve visited. The tour was well organized and overall I feel as though I was able to see many aspects of the islands. Being able to see the animals in their natural habitat and interact with them was incredible. I will never forget my experience and group from the trip especially the snorkeling trip swimming with sea lions, turtles, and a shark.

    When you to go from board to the beach of a Island for the nicht. You need to slim from the boat to the beach. Or you can walk through the water. Or do they can bring People by a small boot to the beach. Its for my wife. She can slim but she don't like it. I like it very much for diving and snorkeled.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2024

      You do not need to swim to get on the boats. You board the boats from jetty's and there are staff to help you get on and off the boat. If you want to go swimming or snorkelling you're able to but you don't have to. Although it is the best way to see the marine life.
