Excellent wildlife adventure

The G Adventures staff were extremely attentive to guest safety and comfort. On each excursion, we saw wildlife up-close and learned about their evolution and habitat. It was beyond exciting to see these magnificent creatures in their natural environment. The baby sea lions were my favorite.

Amazing experience in Galapagos

We saw many animals very closely, both on the ground and in the sea. The itinerary was very well planned, and the guide was excellent. The group was great too, nobody created any trouble and everyone was willing to help each other.

Amazing experience and valued learning about the islands and its inhabitants

Seeing so many different species and learning so much about the islands; the number of bird species viewed and added to my life list; a professional and caring crew who took care of our every need, the rooms were exceptionally clean every day, little details mattered; expert guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the islands and its inhabitants; seeing so much of the archipelago, (we considered doing 2 weeks however I don't think we needed the extra time and would not have added much to the species diversity); we lucked out with an really interesting fellow participants from diverse backgrounds - hopefully made lifelong friends
