Ecuador 9-Day Tours and Trips

Fabulous! We appreciated the support pre-trip as well, with arranging last minute airport transport and an extra night stay in Quito. Staff were helpful and professional. We loved the Galapagos and appreciate this trip so much!

Well, what can I say Everyone will tell you how you get to the animals and birds in the Galapagos; but you really do! Watch your feet or you could trip over sea lions or iguanas. Not to mention stepping on the gulls or boobies. One of our party had a red footed boobie land on her hand. Another had a sea lion sniff his toes! Everywhere you look there is another creature. Mockingbirds insisting that they have their picture taken. Sea birds swooping low overhead. A truly AMAZING place. And snorkelling; so close to the wonderful aquatic life. Feeling like sea lions yourself due to the wet suits.

Overall, this was a great trip! This is our 4th trip with this tour company, and once again, we loved our experience. It was a nice combination of activity and downtime and felt like a vacation. The Galapagos is such a unique and special place. Our guide, Pablo, was extremely knowledgeable about everything. He shared his knowledge and personal stories with us which added to our experience. People ask what our favorite part was, and that is really difficult to answer because so many things stick out: the wildlife being so present everywhere, snorkeling with giant turtles, the hike up the volcano.

This was truly one of the best trips ever, thanks to the amazing itinerary, remote and unspoiled landscapes, unique and plentiful wildlife, seamless logistics, and excellent fellow travelers, but most of all because of our incredible guide, Pablo! His deep understanding of the science, his passion and enthusiasm, and his dramatic delivery kept us all enthralled. He had answers to all of our questions and made sure everyone was OK at all times. THANK YOU FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!!

An absolutely fantastic trip. I cannot say enough about how organized and complete everything was. Pablo was a fantastic guide and his love for the Galapagos was evident. We also had the pleasure of having Paolo on the trip and he was terrific as well. I always thought that when I made it to the Galapagos it would be by boat. I am delighted and so happy that this was a land-based trip. I cannot say enough about how much my husband and I enjoyed this adventure. Thank you, tour operator, Pablo and Paolo.

This was my second trip to Galapagos with G this year. I was so impressed with the first trip when I took my 15 year old son that I urged my 13 year old to go so I could return. Each trip was unique in the details, but the whole experiences were equally great. It was good to see the consistency in the quality of guides we had: Dario Chimarro and Sandra Masaquiza. They were both born in Galapagos and were extremely knowledgeable about. every aspect of the islands. Now my husband wants to know when I'm going to "take him." I'm thinking next year. :)
