Pros: Up close and personal experiences with the animals, cruising on the Galapagos Explorer, knowledgeable naturalists! Cons: None!
To say that our recent trip (March 2003) to the Galapagos Islands exceeded our expectations, is an understatement. Our 3 week long South American adventure included many unforgettable experiences, both in Peru and on the mainland of Ecuador, but the...
Pros: You will see things you can't see anywhere else. Cons: Expensive to get there; not for everyone

Pros: Wildlife, luxury ship, tropical weather Cons: Expensive, possible seasickness, possible mosquitoes
Because I found the Epinions review helpful in planning our January, 2008 trip, I wanted to update this topic. We were in a small (20) group set up by General Tours, a big U.S. tour supplier. Their local contractor in Ecuador, Canodros did a very good ...
Pros: amazing wildlife, personalized service, once-in-a-lifetime experience Cons: expensive, rough sea conditions in August
I have to say, my week spent in the Galapagos Islands this summer was one of the most incredible vacations of my life! I had read and heard about the abundance of natural wildlife on the islands, but nothing prepared me for the shock of coming face to...

Pros: it will restore your sense of wonder and amazement in nature Cons: a long journey, but worth the effort
I have dreamed about visiting the Galapagos since I was a child and saw a television special on the giant tortoises and strange marine iguanas. My curiosity was further piqued as a college student learning about geology and evolution. Now I am 53 and...
We landed at the Aeropuerto Isla Baltra Galapagos where all tourists must line up and pay a Galapagos National Park fee of $80.00. We took a larger vessel the M/N Ambasador I which was half empty. The food was very good, and the naturalists on board...

Pros: Lots of sharks, friendly professional service Cons: Lousy equipment, poor visibility
