    I recently had the pleasure of exploring the Galapagos Islands, and it was truly a trip of a lifetime! Our guide, Dario, made this adventure even more special with his incredible knowledge and passion for the islands.What stood out the most was Dario’s genuine care for the environment and commitment to sustainability. He encouraged us to respect the delicate ecosystems and shared tips on how we could contribute to conservation efforts.

    Our trip with G adventures was a trip of a lifetime. We were able to see a huge amount of wildlife in their natural habitat. I loved the islands, local food and everything about Galapagos. G adventures did a great job organizing the trip. The only change I would suggest is to add a night is Isabella and reduce a night in Pallalacta.

    Galapagos Islands are definitely worth visiting. Our tour took us to four islands, each one a little different with different animals. Transfers between the islands were easy and pleasant, the boat comfortable and safe. Accommodation varied by each island (some had AC, some just fans) but overall was nice. Hot springs at Papallacta are beautiful and having hot pools just outside the cabin door was great. Papallacta is about 3800 meters above sea level so some of us felt a little lightheaded.

    I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! I've never seen wildlife like this and our guide Danilo was so helpful and knowledgeable! 10/10 would recommend and do it all over again!

    Overall the tour was just absolutely fantastic. Great tour guide and tons of activities! My only thoughts are that I wish I had longer on the last two islands in the Galapagos. The accommodations on San Cristobal and Floreana were not quite “upgraded”. Floreana has limited options so this is understandable. Also the flight to/from Galapagos was on a budget airline and the seats were TIGHT and there was a stop in Guayaquil which sucked up a considerable amount of travel time - a direct option would have been preferable or at least it would have been nice to have the option to upgrade our seat options. Overall though it was a great experience and I highly recommend!
