Our Staff

Paolo is one of our hard-working team members based out of our Puerto Baquerizo office in the Galapagos.

He has known Galakiwi for many, many years and officially began working for us when our gear office began offering rentals, and we started to need more logistical support.

When our groups head out biking, kayaking or SUPing, Paolo is there to help you test out our equipment and make sure everything fits perfectly. He is usually in our office available to help people who stop by wanting to rent out gear as well.

Having Paolo on our team has enabled Galakiwi to keep our gear office running smoothly, as he provides exceptional support to Cristhian and the rest of our office team.

The x-factor with Galakiwi's tour, being land-based, is the insight you get into real life on the Galapagos. This was what lifted our trip beyond the expected 'trip of a lifetime' to see the natural sights of the Galapagos, to a really meaningful (though short!) experience in another country and culture.

10-day Galapagos Adventure, May 2017
We had a great land-based trip with Galakiwi -it as fun being ashore at night and wandering among the wildlife and with the locals in the street. And staying on an extra couple of days gave us time by ourselves but with full support from the Galakiwi team when we wanted it. The best of both worlds with a great professional approach. Thanks heaps as they say in NZ!

While I knew I would enjoy the Galapagos, the trip with Galakiwi became for me the highlight of our South American travels.

We just wanted to write a quick note to say a massive thank you to everyone in Galakiwi who have helped make this trip so memorable for us. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed it.

Custom Ecuador & Galapagos Wedding Tour
We spent a month in South America and our time in the Galapagos was the highlight. There were new delightful surprises multiple times a day. Our guide, Pablo, shared his enthusiasm with us and kept us entertained with great stories and fascinating information each and every day. The land based tour from Galakiwi was definitely the right choice. We have spoken to others that took ship based tours and we feel that we made a great choice with Galakiwi. It was the trip of a lifetime!

10-day Galapagos Adventure Tour, June 2016
I had been planning a trip with my family for ages, and when the idea to go to Galapagos emerged, I thought what a better place to reunite with family and induce some very needed bonding opportunity. The fantastic natural setting was super conductive to this goal, but if it wasn't for GALAKIWI's immaculate service and attention it wouldn't have happened. So thanks to you guys for everything!

Custom Galapagos Family Tour
We are three couples with different interests and abilities, but the trip was great for all of us. The activities were a blast, our guide was top-notch and everything went just as we had hoped. We really loved it and would highly recommend Galakiwi to anyone thinking of a land-based Galapagos trip.

10-day Galapagos Adventure Tour, December 2015
The Galapagos mountain biking adventure trip was an amazing experience. Having to dodge a giant tortoise in the middle of the road is not something that happens every day. A great way to see these beautiful and unique islands in a slightly more detailed way.
