We went to the Galapagos Islands as part of a Peregrine tour and were housed on the MY San Jose boat for 15 days. The boat only has 16 passengers at a maximum and 8 crew + guide. The first week, we had 12 passengers and the second week we had 10 passengers. The boat travelled to both the Eastern... More

We tried to plan our Galapagos trip through Amex's travel agency and they put us in a hotel far from the action, and only a one-way flight. We were referred to Ingrid by a friendly scuba outfitter and she bent over backwards for us. We are thankful we met her and she took care of all of the details for... More

When you arrive to Santa Cruz Island, visit of Giant tortoise Reserve and the Twin Craters, just wonderful. Swimming and snorkeling to Santa Fe and visit of Plazas Island can be the best moment in your life. Visit of Charles Darwin scientific Station in Puerto Ayora, just awesome. Thanks to PalmarVoyages agency in Ecuador I recommand you, site web: www.palmarvoyages.net More

Every day into a Zodiac and off to an island to see the wonders of nature. The guides were well informed and... More

It was our first venture with Friendly Planet and we will definitely go through them for future trips. They were competent, friendly, knowlegeable and accomodating - and the price was very reasonable. Quito is an old city at 9200 feet elevation. We stayed an extra day, after touring the city, and went to a condor/raptor rehab facility - very interesting.... More

I recently did a 8 day/ 7 night trip of the Galapagos Islands through tour operator Happy Gringo on the yatch "Angelito". I must say that the trip was very well organised by Bernardo of Happy Gringo who was ready with all the answers to my innumerable queries, especially on the food front as I am a strict vegetarian.

"Galapagos for your" was our best option for purchasing a all-inclusive package!. Viviana our tour guide received us in the airport and took us straight to our Hotel where we were received by Ingrid and Luis, owners of the agency. I highly recommend Viviana, she describes every single thing in the island with good knowledge. Our hotel in Santa Cruz... More

We did a 7 night cruise and loved every minute of it! We were on Queen of Galapagos which is an older ship that was renovated 5 years ago and carries 16 people. Small well appointed basic ship (only the showers were a bit small and a challenge to use at night or when the boat is moving). Easy to... More
