    Our trip was simply perfect. Galapagos is an amazing destination, we have really enjoyed the unique landscapes, the fauna, and all the activities, I did enjoyed swimming with sealions!!!. Everything was prepared to our liking. We spend amazing time with our local hosts, they made us feel at home. A journey we won't forget!

    • Signature DMCOperatorWritten October 2022

      Definitely yes, we have tours planned for Jan or Feb 2023. I will check why these departures does not appear on the platform.

    • Signature DMCOperatorWritten October 2022

      This is not a group tour, this experience is done in small group shared tours, which means that you will get to know different people every day, you will not be with the same persons every day. There is no tour leader and you might get different guides in each destination.

      TravelerWritten October 2022

      We are now most interested in the Monserrat Galapagos Cruise. Is it possible to get a hold for just 48 hours before we pay the deposit?
