Galápagos Multisport
Galápagos MultisportThis trip is outstanding- active, interesting, and teaming with wildlife. Our guide/CEO Jonathan, helped make the trip really special. He was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and full of great tips on local restaurants. We got to snorkel, hike, kayak, and bike. Great group of folks on our tour too, and fortunately, the group size wasn't too large. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to see this beautiful place and its amazing animals, up close. One note to whoever booked the accommodations about the one part of the trip that wasn't great. We are an LGBT couple traveling together, and when we were asked in the online materials whether we wanted one bed or two, we indicated wanting sleeping arrangements together. We almost never got them (one room had 3 beds, one of which happened to also be big enough for two). When traveling to a part of the world that the travel books say is unfriendly to LGBT people, to have the tour company further erase our identity left me feeling that it was unwelcome (at best) or unsafe for me to be who I am. In Florentina, when splitting folks up for guest house accommodations our guide was going to split us into separate houses entirely, rooming one of us with one of the single female travelers on the trip. After we made clear why that wouldn't work, we did stay in Florentina in the same room, but nothing changed about the rooming accommodations that followed, which had two small single beds in each. I didn't need a guide to personally believe that my relationship is ok, but I think there's some way to be affirming without endorsing. I also think there's a way to help us navigate what already felt was a grey zone of discomfort. Anyway, other than feeling like the invisibility of my identity was safer/easier/better, the trip was great.

Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions
Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea LionsThis was an absolutely amazing tour! I loved everyday of it, from start to finish. To be able to see so many amazing animals in such a beautiful and pristine environment was truly a dream. My guide Fernando was also amazing! His knowledge and passion for the islands really came through and he gave us so much great information while being friendly, positive and engaging. I would do this tour again if I could. The camping element was also great. It was actually better than I imagined as the tents were large and tall enough to stand up in and more than enough space for 2 people. The only thing I would offer is an even longer tour visiting Espaniola, Rabida and possibly other islands as well (aimed at 18-35's bracket), as now I am even more fascinated with the other islands and want to see more! I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Ultimate Galapagos Islands Adventure
Ultimate Galapagos Islands AdventureThe guides were terrific, very educational and entertaining. We loved the ability to stay at 4 of the different islands, and have an ocean view from every room! We got to see and do so much! I was never board, snorkeling, biking, watching and learning about the animals and environment, hiking, kayaking, etc…. It was great that the agenda was flexible. Having the agenda changed to enable us to be able to participate in all activities instead of having to pick and choose was fantastic! We were excited to find out we could snorkel the tuneles and hike the volcano. The food was fantastic, they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy every we went. All the local restaurants we very good at accommodating allergies as well as giving us a fantastic variety of local delicious foods. All in all it was an amazing trip that I definitely recommend!

10 Days Galapagos Island Hopping in Santa Cruz and Isabela
10 Days Galapagos Island Hopping in Santa Cruz and IsabelaThe tour was relaxed and interesting. The hotels clean with courteous staff. The tours professional. What I really liked is the snorkeling. You float in the water and see many different colored fish. The speedboat rides are a bit tedious, but unavoidable. Kayaking in Tortuga Bay is very nice but it is difficult to see the wildlife. All in all a tour that is definitely worth it.

Galapagos Multisport
Galapagos MultisportAdventure Journeys is a very professional tour operator. All of our guides were excellent and did there best to please us. The hotel in Quito is definitely five star. Make sure that you ask to be placed in the second tower as the rooms are of nicer quality and they have air conditioning (on the chance that Quito is not cool). The accomodations on the islands are nice but your experiences can vary depending on the rooms you are assigned. They vary in size and views. Most are small hotels so there aren’t a lot of choices to go around if you are in a large group. We stayed on San Cristobal, Isabela, and Santa Cruz. Arianna was our tour guide on San Cristobal. Knowledgeable and very helpful. I especially enjoyed the Kicker Rock excursion. They take you to a beautiful beach that you get to explore for about an hour an a half and then you go snorkeling around Kicker Rock for a couple of times for a total of about 1 1/2 hr. The snorkeling was amazing as you see much wildlife (sharks, turtles, sea lions, rays, lots of fish and one side of the rock is beautiful). My favorite snorkeling experience on Galapagos. It was nice to take the inter island flight to Isabela and save us a 4 hr boat ride. Los Túneles was snorkeling was fun as we saw sharks, lots of turtles and sea horses. Definitely was enjoyable swimming with the turtles. Water could have been clearer. The highlight was walking on the islands and getting up close and personal with the blue footed boobies! Guess it should be mentioned that we went in mid April as conditions change as do the animals. Wetsuits were provided but nowhere was the water overly cool. We also saw some penguins on this excursion. The walk through the marsh was great for the flamingos and other birds. Also, enjoyed the bike ride on Isabela to the Wall of Tears. Nice little hike for a 360 view to a lookout point and later a short walk through the mangroves. It was cool running into the tortoises in the wild as well. We had a rainy and cloudy walk to the crater. It would have been cool to see it without the clouds, but this was the only weather problem we encountered. The kayaking at Las Tintoreras was more swimming with turtles and penguins. We literally were swimming with the penguins here. It is nice as all the animals on the Galapagos aren’t afraid of people, so you’re pics and experiences are all magnified. There is a two hour boat ride from Isabela to Santa Cruz. Sit up top with the captain and miss out on the vomit fest downstairs with everyone else. On Santa Cruz, the highlights were the Charles Darwin Center and the Tortoise Reserve. Once again at the reserve, you can see the giant tortoises up close in the wild. Very cool. Not to be left out was kudos for our guide on Isabela and Santa Cruz, Maritza. She was great the whole time and a treasure trove of information. AJ has great guides! Christian, one of the owners (I think) took us and picked us up at the airport in Quito. On the way back, we asked about street food and he asked us if we’d like to go to La Floresta and try the local street food. Great idea and great experience! Super experience and great tour company!

Magical Galapagos (5 Days)
Magical Galapagos (5 Days)The Cami Adventures team provided an incredible experience of the Galapagos Islands for me and my two traveling companions. They made it repeatedly clear that they were happy to help whenever it was requested and went above and beyond to organise a birthday cake for us. The day-tours were hosted by especially knowledgeable and friendly guides in small groups which enabled us to ask lots of questions and get more out of each trip. The hotel we stayed at was clean, provided a large assortment of breakfast foods and provided a filter with clean drinking water. I highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to the Galapagos Islands on a budget who wants the hassle of organising activities/tours taken away.

Highlights Of Quito and Galapagos Islands
Highlights Of Quito and Galapagos IslandsThe experience was great. Nearly everyone who assisted us was very helpful. The one exception was Cecelia on Isabella Island. At the beginning of the second day, no one showed up to take us to the designated locations. Our hotel manager called the local tour company and reported that we had been forgotten. The name of the company was something like Georeisen. The representative told me she would get someone to pick us up. Guess who showed up? Cecelia! She made no reference to our being forgotten, and she didn’t apologize. Her English is poor. Actually, my high school Spanish is what allowed us to communicate. She should not be a tour guide.

Galapagos Essentials
Galapagos EssentialsMy husband & I had one other traveler with us on our Adventure Journeys "Galapagos Essentials" land-based tour so this allowed for a more personalized experience. We flew to Baltra but immediately went to Santa Cruz for 2 nights, then San Cristobal 2 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed most of our experiences there however for all the flights/expense required to get to/from the Galapagos, seemed like a lot of travel for just a few hours/day/3 days of sightseeing: lesson learned. Be advised, the 2+ hour boat ride between the 2 islands, especially if the afternoon winds/swells are up, is NOT fun (insist on a seat up top)! Our guides on each island were excellent: knowledgeable locals who love their home and were good company while sightseeing! One can choose to spend a lot or not so much for meals on both islands, some delicious vegan options available (Agave Studio, a few minutes walk from our Hotel Fiesta on San Cristobal, makes a delish vegan ceviche!). Unlike mainland Ecuador, the islands are busy with tourists; obviously, a safe place to visit/explore.

What people love about Galapagos Islands Tours
- Galápagos Multisport
This tour is intended for people who are physically fit,able to walk 6 kilometers a day, love to kayak/snorkel/swim/bike, and still have plenty of energy to enjoy the wildlife. I cannot cope up with the group, but luckily our CEO offered me options like museum visit, tour to Tntoreras. I still was able yo see all the wildlife I need to see exvept the cormorant. I did not expect to stay in a 5 star hotel. I find the accommodation suitable enough for my needs: comfortable bed, air condition, water, electricity, wifi. Special thanks to Sandra, CEO. She is one of the best tour guides I met in my years of travel. She is a great listener and teacher. She was born in Santa Cruz. She knows Galapagos like the palm of her hand.
- Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions
This was a great tour, the galápagos is amazing! G-adventure has a well organized tour. There are some early morning days but they don't matter because you are in the Galápagos! The rooms are basic but have air conditioning which is good since it is very hot there. José was a fantastic guide and had so much knowledge about the islands. Definitely choose the add-on snorkeling trips they are worth it. I think the Galápagos needs to be on everyone's list.
