Absolutely! It’s an adventure I would suggest to everybody. It’s one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been. -Veronica

Its such a huge world out there where to next always on my mind..cheers from Tassie

Sofie, they really are amazing. We were so lucky to be invited to the Breeding Center to see the efforts toward conserving them.

Hey Laura! It really is a magical place – a must see. We were amazed every day.

Thanks Danny! The birds are fantastic, it’s amazing how unafraid they are. We’re so glad the Ecuadorian government is making huge effort to protect them! -The GypsyNesters

Hey Liz! Our sailing was booked with Road Scholar, ( http://www.roadscholar.org ) which is a non-profit geared toward life-long learning. In order to cruise the islands, you must go with a government approved vessel, so there aren’t too many people on any island at once – a conservation effort. Since the boats are all small (ours had 16 passengers, I believe), it’s important that you chose carefully, find a group that fits your traveling preferences. Our group was a get-up-early-and-get-an-early-jump-on-exploring group while the boat traveling with us was a stay-up-late-and-socialize group.

If you want more info on what we did, go to our site and search “galapagos”

Hope this helps,
