To anybody looking to do a tour of the Galapagos I would offer two pieces of advice. Firstly, do a land based tour. The Galapagos is a national park and you are very restricted in where you can go. Everybody visits the same places both on land and in the sea. The difference with a land based tour is that you get to stay in nice local owned hotels and can enjoy the small town and village atmosphere long after the boat people have returned to their ships. Secondly is go with Galakiwi. Superbly organised with brilliant guides (Pepo) and a nice "family owned" feel to the company.
Our experience with GALAKIWI in the Galapagos Islands was a trip of a lifetime from start to finish. We learned so much from our amazing guide Pablo. The owners of the company added a wonderful personal touch to the trip that we loved. They made us feel like we were being hosted by family. Each and every member of our family absolutely loved this experience. We plan to look into booking another trip with GALAKIWI in New Zealand in the very near future!
It ended too soon. ALL the staff is awesome. Laura, Cristhian, Rodolfo. You make it so smooth in spite of the fact that things had to be juggled because of the uncontrollable weather. How can I come stay? :)
Galakiwi was such a wonderful company to work with from beginning to the end. Laura was the person who helped with booking and logistics and she is absolutely wonderful. This trip to the Galapagos was a dream come true for me and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We explored the biodiversity with the help of Pepo, who is such an amazing guide that you will feel like you took the best hands on Biology class ever. Our group grew closer and shared such a wide array of amazing experiences such as snorkeling over hammerhead sharks and swimming next to sea lions, sea turtles and marine iguanas. As a nature lover and Darwin enthusiast this is a vacation that I will never forget. The sunset and night sky in Floreana alone was worth the money. Even the boat rides between islands were amazing and we were able to float along with multiple species of dolphins and whales. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
