Tip Top II

Galapagos was incredible. We loved it. The guides were all excellent and we especially enjoyed having guides with a naturalist qualification.

LE, Poole

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

PJ, London

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

SD, Rochester

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 were above expectation – the best thing we have done.

DL, Dulwich

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

A truly wonderful and privileged experience!

RD, Ashford

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

TH, Colchester

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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.

The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

DJ, Chesterfield

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

JB, Chiswick

Snorkelling with penguins, turtles, sea lions and marine iguanas. Unbeatable.

DJ, Saltash

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

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

Breathtaking

The Galápagos - just breathtaking - 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

A truly unique place on earth.

KS, Southampton

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

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

FM, Manchester

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 Galápagos Islands were fantastic and beyond our wildest expectations.

AC

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

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

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

CH, Epsom

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

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

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.
