  • Galápagos — Central, South & East Islands aboard the Yolita reviewer 1
    · July 2nd, 2024
    Life sculpting! Hiking and snorkeling transported by 16 passenger modest yacht. Fabulous crew and fresh meals each day. Phenomenal guide and naturalist 'Os' (Oswaldo Nobia)! Request his dates if possible in your planning process. Sacred national park.

    I'd wanted to visit the Galapagos for years and finally got to do it. It was worth the wait! The islands and seas are amazing and the tour G- Adventures put together was excellent. Our CEO was outstanding - her knowledge and enthusiasm always inspiring. Truly, a trip of a lifetime!

    The experience was great. Each island we visited was different, and G Adventures provided a CEO that was local and knowledgeable. She also was enthusiastic, which always makes the experience more pleasurable. The snorkeling was some of the best. The crew members were so very helpful and cheerful, and they kept the cabins meticulously clean each day. I would recommend the G Adventures experience to anyone going to the Galapagos Islands.

      We operate using different boats (the Eden and Yolita) which offer different routes / islands, this is why the prices are different. October 2025 dates may not have been releases yet so watch this space.
