- Cari· September 30th, 2024Be prepared for some very early mornings and rough boat rides to start the trip, but once you get past those, the trip is incredible! I highly recommend the Los Túneles snorkeling on Isabela if you are looking to pick an optional activity.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Cari, We are glad you had such a great time in the Galapagos. Yes we do specialize in early starts so we can pack in as much as possible. . We will pass your kind words on to our local operations team.

- JMJacklynn· April 19th, 2024This was a great tour, the galápagos is amazing! G-adventure has a well organized tour. There are some early morning days but they don't matter because you are in the Galápagos! The rooms are basic but have air conditioning which is good since it is very hot there. José was a fantastic guide and had so much knowledge about the islands. Definitely choose the add-on snorkeling trips they are worth it. I think the Galápagos needs to be on everyone's list.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks Jacklynn, This looks like such a great trip.

What our customers ask about this tour
The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.- L
Leslie
Asked on May 20th, 2025Wondering if we're able to participate in this tour. We really enjoy snorkeling and this seems like a good fit. What's the physical activity level? We don't particularly enjoy hiking if the climb is steep, but are there alternate activites we could do if a hike is too strenuous?
G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025This tour is part of our 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style, and you must be within the age range of 18-39. We offer many different other tours to the Galapagos that are for all age ranges.
- R
Ronald
Asked on February 10th, 2025Why is the age written 18-39. That is, there is no way for a family with children aged 13 and 15, and adults aged 43, to get on this tour.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
This tour is for first time independent travellers, it is not appropriate for under 18's and our travellers fed back that they wish to have a travel style that had like minded same aged people on so we created this. We have a similar tour open to all ages called Galapagos Island Hopping.
- D
David
Asked on January 20th, 2025Is there are reason for that or is that a typo?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
Not all of our tours have age limits, however, we have two particular tour styles '18-30 Somethings' and 'Roamies' where G Adventures is trying to cultivate a particular demographic. This is where the maximum age limit of 39 or 35 comes in.

Virginia
Asked on January 16th, 2025Can you make an exception? I am healthy, in good shape, I ski, hike, dive and travel all over the world. Please let me know if I can still sign up for this.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
At G Adventures we pride ourselves finding the right trip for the right person. For our '18-30 Somethings' tours, we are trying to cultivate a particular demographic. The majority of these trips are multi share or very basic accommodation such as camping or hostels. The itineraries are fast paced, have fewer included activities and instead focus more on socialising aspect of travel.

Tim
Asked on December 14th, 2024me gustaría saber si tienen este tour o parecido del 1 al 12 de enero, u otras opciones para realizar en privado, y si es en grupo cuantas personas serían
- G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024
The departure dates of this tour are set and sadly we do not do private tours unless your have your own group of minimum 8 people. Normally the maximum size of the group for this tour is 16 people. This tour is part of our 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style, which means the age restrictions will be 18 years minimum, 39 years old maximum at the time of travel.

Asked on December 4th, 2024What happens if there is significant political unrest or a travel advisory?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024
In cases of significant safety concerns or a travel advisory, policies regarding refunds or booking changes will be communicated directly to affected passengers.

Rachel
Asked on November 17th, 2024My wife and I are planning a trip to the Galapagos in late December or early January, and we're interested in this tour. We're also hoping to include a scuba diving experience during our trip. Do you have any options for scuba diving that could be arranged in place of some of the planned activities?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
This tour does not include scuba diving optional extras, that being said, there will be an option to book this during your free time with the help of the CEO. If you have a specific time/location in mind, let us know once we have booked the tour we can reach out to the local office or leave a note on file for the CEO so that they are aware that you are interested in scuba diving
- R
Rachel
Traveler•Written November 2024Am I correct in understanding that we may be able to book (or ask you to book) a scuba diving tour during our free time on the itinerary, such as on Day 4 at Isabela Island or Day 7 at San Cristobal Island?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
The best day to arrange a diving tour would be day 7 on San Cristobal Island. We do not currently work with a supplier for diving so we can not book this for you however our local team does recommend Planet Ocean - Diving San Cristobal.
- R
Rachel
Traveler•Written November 2024Let me ask one more question. I understand these things below are NOT included in the tour, but let me know if I'm wrong. - Hotel at Quito - Round-trip flights between Quito and Galapagos (Baltra?)
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
The Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions tour does include hotel nights in Quito and the flights from and back to Quito from the Islands. This tour is designed so you will book your international flights into Quito on day 1 and then spend the night there as part of the tour. On day two the group will fly together to Santa Cruz Island. At the end of the tour you will leave San Cristóbal Island on day 8 and fly back to Quito as a group and spend one night there. Then you can leave anytime on day 9 from Quito.
- R
Rachel
Traveler•Written November 2024Our flight will arrive at UIO at 2:45am, but does the hotel included in this tour accept early check-in around that time?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
Check in time is between 2 and 3pm on day one of the tour.
- R
Rachel
Traveler•Written November 2024Do you have any recommendation for us to kill time (ideally have some rest somewhere) before 8am? We also booked your Quito tour starting at 8am.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
If arriving so early you would be best to book an extra night at the hotel so you can have access to your room.

Sean
Asked on November 13th, 2024Is there a specific way to pay for the Transit Control Card at Quito airport?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
The Transit Control card must be purchased in cash at a counter in Quito airport before boarding your flight to the Galapagos.
- S
Shane
Asked on November 7th, 2024How is the final hotel information communicated to passengers?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
If there are any changes to the final hotel arrangements, we will inform you via email.
