Golden Bay Hotel and Spa

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

SM, Wandsworth

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

BT, Ware

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

MCP Richmond

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

DD, Uxbridge

The Galápagos Islands were fantastic and beyond our wildest expectations.

AC

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

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

DG, Neston

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

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

KH, London

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

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 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

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

SM, South Croydon

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 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 Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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

AD, Dublin

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

SD, Rochester

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

JC, Littlehampton

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 were above expectation – the best thing we have done.

DL, Dulwich

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

TH, Colchester

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

Unique experience

A holiday in Ecuador/the Galapagos is a once in a life time experience. A four day cruise whilst being an excellent 'overview' is just not long enough. Encourage all your customers to take the longest possible cruise.

DW, Lingfield

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

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

LF, Alderley Edge

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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.

SH, Aylesbury

The Galapagos blew me away. was even better than I expected. it never felt crowded and the guides and crew made us feel as thought we were special.

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.
