The most memorable part of our holiday was probably swimming with sea lions and turtles but this was closely followed by observing birds interact with each other. (more)Barbara Gray
Too many (highlights) to mention - maybe snorkelling beside Kicker Rock (Galapagos) seeing giant turtles; or zip lining 40 meters above the cloud forest floor (Ecuador)
(more)Helen Honeyball
The highlight was the snorkelling with penguins sharks rays sea lions turtles cormorants pelicans and then of course the fish. Excellent. Completely incredible. The yacht was amazing and the crew were great. Our guide was so professional but fun he made the trip so interesting. (more)Sarah Daly
From
£2,223

A once in a lifetime experience. Every day was another surprising wildlife encounter - snorkeling with penguins and sea turtles, hiking among (and swimming with) the marine iguanas or standing two feet away from a pair of blue footed boobies doing their beautiful, intricate mating dance.
(more)Elizabeth Willson
Excellent....Arriving in the Galapagos and seeing so many animals so close the first afternoon: blue footed boobies, sea lions and crabs and then so many iguanas. (more)Sheila Ellwood
The most memorable was coming face-to-face with sea lions.... actually overcoming my anxiety of snorkelling.. the great 'family' created. (more)Chris Bach
From
£6,540

It was the culmination of lifetime dream.......top of my 'bucket list'.....
Definitely NOT to be missed......Fabulous !! (more)Sandra Clegg
Very well structured between 3 South American countries and 3 very different
experiences. Wherever possible our guides made sure any benefits went back to the local community. (more)Bruce and Kerry Taylor
It was truly the holiday of a lifetime with unique experiences that i will
treasure. That was helped by a very well organised crew and an inspirational
guide who was in love with his islands. (more)Debbie Cowburn

Fantastic!!!! The best parts were tubing down the Napo River Valley! Also, enjoyed tremendously all the laughter on the ropes course, the river rafting and the hospitality and GREAT FOOD. (more)lynn mahan
Absolutely superb from start to finish. The operator was outstanding in making us an itinerary which was perfect for the amount of time we had to spend there, and we loved working with them before, during and after our holiday. We felt that the range of experiences, activities and accommodations enabled us to really experience a bug chunk of Ecuador and its culture in only two weeks. (more)Cara Roberts
From
£2,999

The highlight was hiking the Amazon rain and dry forests. (more)Wallace Woolfenden
The most memorable part of the holiday was the temples. 5 stars.

A fabulous location, amazing tropical jungle surroundings, wonderful food and the adventure of walking through both primary and secondary jungle, not to mention the 2 hour trip downstream on the Napo River in a motorized canoe.

Excellent....Ecuador is a lovely country and well worth spending a week there before heading to the Galapagos. (more)Caroline Blagg
The most memorable part of the holiday was the wildlife - birds, dolphins, turtles, snakes, Jesus lizard...Ecuador is incredibly diverse, people genuinely interested, especially when "the only Gringo on the Bus!" and the operator is very efficient.

The contrasts in landscape, flora, fauna, people, buildings, wealth, weather, food, transport and so forth were just extraordinary in the true sense of the word in the Galapagos. So glad we did such a variety of activities too and stayed on land to have the flexibility to do our own thing at other times. (more)Doug Cramond
The SEA LIONS are great encounters. Especially on San Cristobal Island being such close proximity with them on beaches is almost unheard of anywhere else in the world! That is a real specialty of the trip! (more)Anni Jancsek
From
£2,795
excluding flights
Snorkelling with sea lions swimming in and around you was the most exciting part our holiday. (more)Morag Bradie
The most memorable part was seeing some fantastic birds right up close. Three very different islands. Unique experiences on all. Particularly loved the kayaking out from Pelican bay on a Santa Cruz. Also fell in love with Isabela .....perfect to have the longer stay here. (more)Sue Mcnuff
From
US $2,125

Memorable parts?
Snorkeling with sea lions.
Tips?
Protect yourself from the sun (which we did) and take precautions to avoid seasickness (which we did the second boat trip).
Local benefits?
Overall, yes very much. However the food could have avoided any human added animals (chicken/beef).
Overall rating?
Excellent! Very unique experience! (more)Rob Richards
From
£4,715
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
All of it ! Surpassed expectations. Micromanagement by competent guides impressive. Just one guide did not speak adequate English ( on a boat tour )
Tips?
Do not even clean teeth using local water.
Sea water can be quite cold ( especially at Kicker Rock). Wet suit hire is cheap and advisable for some
Good mosquito prophylaxis essential
Local benefits?
Cannot really comment - I fear for the Galapagos with plans to increase tourism dramatically (200,000 - 500,000... (more)Elizabeth Powell-Brett
