Fantastic way to explore the Galapagos with a big focus on wildlife and snorkeling. The trip moves quickly and has a bit of transportation time but ensure the main island highlights and wildlife unique to the area are covered for those short on time.

I Do not typically travel with group tours but was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I was afraid it would be really cheesy tourist activities but we had unique experiences like Floriana - which I would have never found on my own.

My trip to the Galapagos was amazing from relaxing on the beach with sea lions as companions to snorkelling with white tip sharks. Our guide knew so much about all aspects of the trip, nature, culture and history having grown up locally.
