Genuine reviews from travelers on Sailing, yachting and motor boating South America tours
Jonathan B | Traveled in July
Trip of a lifetime to see eager animals up close. Our guide Milton made sure we were intimately familiar with all of them by the end of our voyage. The food, crew, boat, guide, weather, and animals couldn’t be any better.
Jill B | Traveled in June
It was exhilarating, exhausting, and so educational. I accomplished all of my goals for visiting the islands. I wish I had been in better shape and able to enjoy all of the activities.
Stefani L | Traveled in May
This was a fantastic tour. The logistics involved were way more complex than I would have imagined and I was blown away by how seamlessly the G team executed everything. Rooms were always cleaned, meals were prompt, snacks were made available, activities were well-planned. I was so grateful to have chosen G for this tour rather trying to navigate a Galapagos trip on my own. They helped create a magical experience.
Malin L | Traveled in May
I loved my trip to Galapagos! it´s a beautiful place and we got to see so much. Every island is different from each other and there is so much going on under the water surface. I highly recomend it!
Karen C | Traveled in April
My overall experience was excellent. Everyone on the tour got on well. The itinerary was well thought out giving us the opportunity to see animals above and below the water and also the varied countryside on each island.
Nyssa-Marie F | Traveled in April
Our trip to the Galapagos was amazing. Our guide Milton was great and took really great care of us. He was really good at assessing what activities might be difficult based on fitness level, warning us ahead of time and having alternatives for those who needed them. The crew on the Eden were all friendly and took great care of us. Overall, a wonderful trip.
