The 8-day trip was just enough to get a good idea of what the Galapagos Islands has to offer. I would highly recommend it for those who don't have 10 days to spend. While you may miss a few wildlife, you will see most of what the islands offer.

We had a fantastic time in the Galapagos. This was our second tour with G adventures and both have run very smoothly from a logistics perspective. The Galapagos tour was packed full of activities and everything you could ever want/need was taken care of so you can just enjoy the islands/snorkelling. We had a great team of G adventures staff looking after us, and can’t wait to go back one day to see the rest of the islands.
