“Inspiring trip to the Galapagos”
Michael - NV, United States Sep 2018
It was a fun, inspiring trip. Actually 1 day in a hotel on the islands and 3 days on a boat. The food was very good. The CEOs were amazing.
“Perfect adventure”
Anthony - QLD, Australia Jul 2018

Boat was spotlessly clean, crew brilliant, helpful, funny, take pride

Great tour - highly recommend, but due to physical activity of shore landings, walking, it is not for elderly travellers.
