Archipel I

The range of wildlife to be seen in the Galapagos stood out but there were so many highlights.

TH, Colchester

The close proximity of the wildlife in the Galapagos is amazing.

DW, Stevenage

The Galapagos Islands are spectacular and we are so glad we had the time to visit.  After a busy four days onboard La Pinta it was good to have a days break at Finch Bay.  It was certainly a well needed rest for us both.

EK, Saltash

The trip to to the Galapagos was the highlight undoubtedly - and the memories will remain with us for a long time -along with the huge photographic archive taken!

CG, Stratchcarron

The Galápagos trip was very sympathetic to the environment and local habitat.

AD, Dublin

The highlight was always going to be the Galápagos and it lived up to our expectations. It is a unique place and unlike our last visit we came away with hundreds of photographs to remind us of the trip.

NW, Wells

The wildlife in the Galápagos was so totally unbothered by our presence.

SB, Leyland

The trip around the Galápagos was spectacular and I have never experienced anything like it before.

LB, Enfield

We loved snorkelling with marine iguanas, turtles, and the lovely playful sealions.

FM, Manchester

So many (highlights) it's hard to single some out. The Galapagos are a joy from start to finish.

JC, Littlehampton

The Galápagos Islands are a wonderland. If I say that of all places I have visited in the world only the Grand Canyon is their equal in impact and living up to expectation you will have an idea of how they affected both of us.

DW Lingfield

The Galápagos were above expectation – the best thing we have done.

DL, Dulwich

Our time on the Galápagos Islands was unique to us, the wildlife was fabulous, we enjoyed every minute of it.

BT, Ware

Most Memorable Moment?: The obvious answer is the whole thing!  If I had to choose, I'd say the experience of arriving at the top of the Prince Phillip Steps on Genovesa to be confronted by a sea of roosting and nesting seabirds completely unfazed by our presence. Of course I'd read about it in advance but nothing really prepares you for experiencing it for yourself.  Another key moment was going snorkelling for the first time at the age of 70 and immediately having underwater encounters with a sea lion and a green sea turtle. My prescience in investing in a GoPro camera ahead of the trip paid huge dividends in terms of lasting memories.

DM, Nottingham

Without a doubt, the Galapagos Islands were amazing. We feel very privileged.

SM, South Croydon

The Galapagos tour was our highlight because of the proximity and abundance of the wildlife.

AB, St Neots

A truly wonderful and privileged experience!

RD, Ashford

A truly unique place on earth.

KS, Southampton

The most memorable experiences were walking in woodland with wild giant tortoise grazing in clearings, watching wild land iguanas amble through long grasses, peering at eye level into the nests of red footed boobies, watching penguins and sea lions hunting fish whilst snorkelling, and as a finale, watching huge sharks circling in the boat lights during our final evening meal.

JW, Newcastle

How close we could get to the wildlife in the Galápagos.

DG, Neston

The Galápagos was so amazing - we were not at all disappointed even though we had looked forward to it so much. Every part of our cruise was special, and we loved the Athala and her itinerary.

RJ, Kenilworth

Visiting the Galápagos islands and coming so close to so many special species of animals and birds was a memorable experience.

JB, Chiswick

The Galápagos cruise was just so good. I don't think I can remember enjoying a recent trip so much.

NJ, London

"The Galápagos Islands and the amazing Machu Picchu ruins.  A real once in a lifetime experience."

MCP Richmond

The Galápagos offer amazing access to stunning wild-life and a great week living on a boat.

PJ, London

The Galápagos Islands were fantastic and beyond our wildest expectations.

AC

I had wanted to travel to the Galápagos for many years.  My husband did not want to go, so I arranged the trip by myself and had a memorable time, whilst feeling very well looked after by JLA.

JG

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

No-one should consider a Galápagos cruise of less then 8 days. We both had a holiday of a lifetime.

LF

Being able to visit the Galápagos with a reputable company was a highlight - the boat was fantastic and everything about the holiday was first rate.
