- Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions
This was an absolutely amazing tour! I loved everyday of it, from start to finish. To be able to see so many amazing animals in such a beautiful and pristine environment was truly a dream. My guide Fernando was also amazing! His knowledge and passion for the islands really came through and he gave us so much great information while being friendly, positive and engaging. I would do this tour again if I could. The camping element was also great. It was actually better than I imagined as the tents were large and tall enough to stand up in and more than enough space for 2 people. The only thing I would offer is an even longer tour visiting Espaniola, Rabida and possibly other islands as well (aimed at 18-35's bracket), as now I am even more fascinated with the other islands and want to see more! I would recommend this tour to anyone.
