Tour: 8-Day Galapagos Family Adventure Tour

Galakiwi's family adventure tour was an outstanding active vacation that provided an astounding visual experience of the beauty of the Galapagos. The expert naturalist guide, Jose Luis Cornejo (Pepo) was a passionate educator who provided valuable lessons regarding the conservation efforts and environmental responsibility of the Galapagos.

I would give this trip six stars if I could. This was my second trip with Galakiwi, the first having been with a small group of adults none of whom I knew before the trip. This trip, I requested a custom itinerary for myself, my adult daughter and her husband, and their bright and very active kids aged 7, 10 and 12. The staff did a great job seeking out activities suitable for us, some of which I'd done previously and some I had not. We were even able to book a surfing session. Pablo Valladares was our guide on the first trip and I requested him for this tour because of his outgoing personality, encyclopedic knowledge about the islands, and obvious deep love for the place where he lives. I cannot recommend Galakiwi highly enough. In addition to all the above, Galakiwi offers a land based tour so you sleep in a hotel every night and not on a boat. What could be better?
