What people love about Sailing Tours in Latin America
- Galápagos — Central, South & East Islands aboard the Yolita
This was the most amazing spiritual and uplifting memorable trip I ever took. We snorkeled, hiked, biked, walked, dived, drank ate and to our hearts content. the staff was incredible and very very knowledgeable as well as courteous and trustworthy. Pick up at airport, transfers and hotels were all top notch and first class. would recommend highly!
My experience with G Adventures at the Galapagos Islands was fabulous. It was all I could imagine and more. Who would have thought that I would be swimming with sharks, penguins and turtles!!. Thank you Omar and crew of the Yolita for your most excellent direction with a local focus, conservation and preservation being the key to all our activities. We were fed well, and given all the comforts of home while being worked hard to fit in all the sights on our 10 day tour. I would most definitely recommend this trip to my friends and family. Ecuador are doing a sterling job in preserving this gem of the pacific.

- Ultimate Galapagos: Central Islands (Grand Daphne)
this trip changed my life, the galapagos is the most incredible destination, and if you are umm'ing and ahh'ing, don't! just go - and thank me later :) the boat, Daphne, was fantastic, the naturalist, Freddy, so knowledgeable and funny. I loved it so much I'm considering going back next year! all pre and post hotel and transfers included made it super easy, they even gave us a bag to pack only the essentials for the trip, and could leave our excess luggage at the hotels. the food provided by the cook (there were 7 crew members) was so healthy and delicious, and plentiful. can't recommend this trip enough./
