Cormorant

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.

The wildlife on the islands (obviously the major reason for the trip) was spectacular and wonderful to experience. I’m please to have made the trip and would certainly recommend the Galápagos to anyone with similar interests and sufficient money.

PM, Chesterfield

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.

KF, Norfolk

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

SB, Leyland

 Impossible to choose between the Galápagos and Easter Island - both are magical, special places.

SM, Wandsworth

The Galapagos animals, scenery and sea were out of this world, just fabulous

CH, Epsom

It's very difficult to pick out one thing. Seeing the animals everywhere we went was amazing. We fell in love with the sea-lions. I loved the walk up to the view over Pinnacle Rock and then being on the beach by the rock afterwards. Seeing a white tipped shark from the beach was something I never expected.

NR, Swindon

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

LF

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

One of us had not snorkelled for a very long time and was hesitant in deep water. Martin the Naturalist on MV Eclipse helped her overcome her fears and enabled her to accompany him resulting in amazing underwater views that she would not have had. The whole trip was memorable for both of us... We just loved the Galapagos.

AL

A couple of days in the Galapagos when we didn't see any other people. Intimacy of swimming with sealions, turtles & being chased in the water by a flightless cormorant!

TC, St Albans

The sealions were brilliant fun and the pups so cute, and so close. All the wildlife was great and seeing it all up close as nothing is afraid of humans, was amazing.

KH, Weybridge

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

DL, Dulwich

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

Truly a unique lifetime experience, especially snorkelling for the first time with playful sea lions, sea turtles, penguins, rays and ‘tame’ wildlife.

SD, Rochester

Most Memorable Moment: Swimming with sea lions, following hundreds of dolphins on the boat, diving with penguins

KH, London

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 attention to environmental concerns on the Galápagos was first rate.  The national park is a pristine environment and every effort is being made to keep it that way.

PT, Peterborough

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

The wildlife on the islands (obviously the major reason for the trip) was spectacular and wonderful to experience. I’m please to have made the trip and would certainly recommend the Galápagos to anyone with similar interests and sufficient money.

PM, Chesterfield

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

BT, Ware

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

NJ, London

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

AB, St Neots

Highlight?: Probably a sea lion playing underneath me and showing off whilst I was snorkelling.  Beautiful.  

DD, Uxbridge

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

FM, Manchester

The cabin upgrade was definitely worth the extra money, much more space and good sized windows!
 

LF, Alderley Edge

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

JC, Littlehampton

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

DW, Stevenage

Galapagos Islands wildlife, guide and boat. To be so close to birds and animals is a privilege and to see such pristine beaches and scenery is lovely.

SJ, Winchelsea

This was our holiday of a lifetime fulfilling a long held desire to visit the Galápagos Islands, and it lived up to all our expectations.
