G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for your review, Frank! Our world deserves more you!Trip date: March 2025 - ALAlla· September 19th, 2024I recently had the pleasure of exploring the Galapagos Islands, and it was truly a trip of a lifetime! Our guide, Dario, made this adventure even more special with his incredible knowledge and passion for the islands.What stood out the most was Dario’s genuine care for the environment and commitment to sustainability. He encouraged us to respect the delicate ecosystems and shared tips on how we could contribute to conservation efforts.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review, Alla! Dario is definitely a gem of a CEO, we are so glad he helped make your trip special. The world deserves more you!Trip date: July 2024

- JMJeffrey· May 21st, 2023I highly recommend this tour of the Galapagos Islands. The accommodations were as nice as were locally available, the transits were all well-coordinated and comfortable, the guide was very knowledgeable about the islands and gave us a wealth of information, and the travel itinerary did a great job of taking us to the high point areas of each island. My only suggestion would be to spend two days on each island, so as to have more personal time to check them out and to just relax.Show moreTrip date: May 2023
- ADonna Peters· June 16th, 2022Our trip with G adventures was a trip of a lifetime. We were able to see a huge amount of wildlife in their natural habitat. I loved the islands, local food and everything about Galapagos. G adventures did a great job organizing the trip. The only change I would suggest is to add a night is Isabella and reduce a night in Pallalacta.Show moreTrip date: May 2022Review collected by G Adventures
- JPJoanna· March 1st, 2023Galapagos Islands are definitely worth visiting. Our tour took us to four islands, each one a little different with different animals. Transfers between the islands were easy and pleasant, the boat comfortable and safe. Accommodation varied by each island (some had AC, some just fans) but overall was nice. Hot springs at Papallacta are beautiful and having hot pools just outside the cabin door was great. Papallacta is about 3800 meters above sea level so some of us felt a little lightheaded.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Joanna, Thank you for your review!

- Mary· April 21st, 2022Overall the tour was just absolutely fantastic. Great tour guide and tons of activities! My only thoughts are that I wish I had longer on the last two islands in the Galapagos. The accommodations on San Cristobal and Floreana were not quite “upgraded”. Floreana has limited options so this is understandable. Also the flight to/from Galapagos was on a budget airline and the seats were TIGHT and there was a stop in Guayaquil which sucked up a considerable amount of travel time - a direct option would have been preferable or at least it would have been nice to have the option to upgrade our seat options. Overall though it was a great experience and I highly recommend!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Mary! Thanks for your feedback - So glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us in the Galapagos! Our world deserves more you :)Trip date: March 2022
