This is the way to experience the Galapagos Island! I appreciate spending time in the islands, being with the locals and how they live. Exploring the islands by foot gives you a different perspective on each of the Islands people , culture and way of li...

Overall, it's a very positive / enjoyable experience like nowhere else can offer, e.g., pristine, turquoise water, sea lions/ iguanas happily roam around, etc.

We were extremely lucky as we had only 4 on the tour. The personal attention was incredible. I was really glad I took a couple of day tours in Quito. There was a lot to do in Ecuador mainland. It was really a 'bonus' to see the lovely country sid...

This was an unreal experience, being surrounded by animals having such a knowledgeable guide made it that much more incredible.

It left me wanting more and I think I will carefully curate a return to The Galapagos Islands. I think if I had done a tour solely by boat, I would not have seen some of the cultural things that are happening, and it os important to me to understand the ...
