A truly magical place

Seeing the Southern Cross in the same sky as the Big Dipper; seeing sharks in the wild--white tipped reef sharks while snorkeling and Galapagos sharks swimming around the boat; seeing the tortoises, iguanas, and many species of birds; swimming with sea lions; meeting and interacting with our wonderful guide and the crew. The Galapagos islands proved to be the special place I thought they would be. Thank you, Bonita and crew!

The most special trip of a lifetime.

We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this magical trip. Mauricio's expert knowledge of the islands and wildlife enabled us to learn so much. Additionally the walking and snorkelling locations were amazing to enable us to see so many different species and landscapes. The crew were also fantastic and catered to all our needs. From making up our rooms each morning to a tasty refreshment after each activity to delicious meals they really made us feel special. We feel so lucky to have gone on this incredible adventure and are so grateful to every single member of the team that made this one of the most magical weeks of our lives.

Wonderful crew and great mix of active international travelers

Seeing the baby sea lions nursing with their mothers, the giant tortoises, snorkeling and kayaking and the many fascinating hikes. The food was wonderful. I always looked forward to the great Ecuadorean snacks after our afternoon activities. Our guide and the crew were so helpful and friendly. And it was lovely that the other guests came from many different countries and were all very adventurous and interesting.

Snorkeling, the many island excursions and the crew
