- ATahnee G· September 18th, 2019The trip didnt feel smooth or totally organised. I enjoyed it mainly because of the people I met on the trip rather than the trip structure itself.Show moreTrip date: January 2019
- AKelly S· September 18th, 2019Everything went smoothly, but the English of the trip leader and some of the local guides could have been better.Show moreTrip date: January 2019
- AAaron H· September 18th, 2019It would have been great to spend longer on some of the islands and also visit other islands that were not included in the tour and did not have enough free days to visit.Show moreTrip date: January 2019
- ADaniel H· September 18th, 2019I will if this feedback was anonymousShow moreTrip date: January 2019
- CCoco· May 16th, 2019We did great activities that was great. In case of the tourguide it was not really a tourguide, but more like a nanny. I got the feeling that he was just there to walk with us to the activities. Most of the time there was a new guide for every activity so what is the role of the tourguide? I really loved the combination of the activities and the free time we had at every spot and I was suprised about the luxury of the hostels. The hostels were more like hotels in case of the luxury. I would be great if there were more meals included (especially lunch sometime)Show moreTrip date: April 2019
- Raya· February 20th, 2019The Galapagos are amazing! Absolutely go, but I would not take a land-based guided tour (like this one) in the future. After visiting, I believe it would be easier and more effective to book your own accommodations, must-do day tours in advance and the remaining tours upon arrival (especially when it's not in high season). The cost mainly covers hotel and island ferries as there was a lot of free time where you mostly have to pay for extra activities (anything water-based was not included). Most of the people I met on the islands went independently.Show moreTrip date: December 2018
- Martha· August 23rd, 2018The intinerary was good but had very few included activities. The tour guide (Juan) always seemed to be in a hurry going from place to place so it felt slightly rushed. He didn't seem to like being asked questions either even though he often asked "any questions?". However he seemed like a genuine person and was quite helpful in organizing our transport back to the airport.Show moreTrip date: August 2018

Shelley
Asked on May 24th, 2023Is there a scubadiving option? My husband and I are both scuba certified and would prefer that to snorkeling.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2023
There is the opportunity on the final day to forgo your flight back to Quito to stay on for Scuba Diving. We can offer this activity on the final day of the tour but it will require an extra night on the islands.

Asked on March 25th, 2023Would you accept someone older than 29
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2023
This trip is for 18 to 29-year-olds; we've got over 900 other great adventures for travelers over 29. Galapagos Experience is a similar tour and is open to travelers 15+.

Asked on February 27th, 2023Why is there an age limit of 29 on this trip? I'm 48 and am physically capable of this. Do you have a cost equivalent trip for ppl over 29? Because I can't find any
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2023
We have specific itineraries for 18 to 29-year-olds because Some of our under-30 travellers prefer to get around with people their age. A cost-equivalent trip to this tour is our Galapagos Experience trip, which starts From $1,380 USD.

Asked on February 25th, 2023Does this mean you can't participate if you are not of this age range?

Traveler•Written March 2023I was curious about the reason that travellers over 29 years old were not welcome to join.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2023
18 to 29-year-old itineraries are designed for travellers within this age range. Some of our under-30 travellers prefer to get around with people their age. If that's you, you're in the right place! We have similar versions of the 18 to 29-year-old trips available for all travelers 15+. We also have family tours to accommodate travelers with young children under 15.

Asked on August 22nd, 2022Would I need to arrive the day before or is it possible that I can arrive the same day of the tour? Also if leaving from Santa Cruz, do you help people get back to mainland Ecuador? What time does the tour begin on the 12th and time does it end on the 19th? This is so I can calculate when to book flights
