Reviews

Hearing from our guests after they return from Galapagos is probably our favourite part of the job. Here are the reviews from previous guests, which you may find helpful to read. 

All parts of the holiday were superb

Just to say a final BIG thank you for all the hard work you and your teams put into making our holiday just that – a holiday, with no worries about what would happen when, where do we go next! All parts of the holiday were superb, Cristian and the team in Peru, and the team in Ecuador with Sani Lodge and Seaman Journey both providing first class service. We loved it all and would not hesitate to recommend you  – in fact I already have!! Yes, it is not a cheap holiday, but we considered it excellent value for money – and three weeks gives a suitable buffer zone between two long journeys. We made a video of our time in Galapagos which you can watch here.

What an amazing adventure! We loved every minute

What an amazing adventure! We loved every minute and can see why it’s difficult in advance to describe quite what a special and unique place it is. Thank you Rachel for all your carefully considered arrangements which all worked perfectly. Without exception all the people who looked after us were charming, helpful and very competent. We cannot begin to describe all that we saw and the experiences we had – wow! Thank you again.

A truly amazing and most memorable trip!

Thanks again for all your help putting this trip together. It was a great combination of structured and unstructured activities. Not only were we excited about all the different places we got to see but we were also impressed by the quality of the guides. Everybody was on time, super friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable. It felt very luxurious to never have to worry about how to get from A to B, figuring out where/how to buy tickets, etc. All in all, it was a truly amazing and most memorable trip! Thank you!!!!

Highly recommended

I cannot rate highly enough the service and attention we were given by Think Galápagos and the team they work with. Our trip to the Napo wildlife centre in the Amazon was fantastic. The Galapagos was stunning and brilliant. The best moment of the trip was playing and swimming in the sea with 9 sea lions. It was a moment I will treasure forever. We are a well-travelled family and this holiday is up there as one of the best. The whole thing was seamless. We were so well taken care of by every guide and driver we came into contact with. Rachel and the team at Think Galápagos are great at what they do. Highly recommended.

Simply fantastic!

It was simply fantastic, every single day was brilliant! All was superbly planned and happened as planned, the information received for all the different journeys was always accurate and all people involved were helpful and nice. The stay on the Beagle – well, I can’t say any more than that it was outstanding! Our guide (Xavier) was great, able to infect everyone with his enthusiasm and knowledge, so was the crew and the others on the boat. Napo Wildlife Centre was of course also amazing, not just the lodge itself and the stunning wildlife, but the whole experience. It has been a magical experience all round.

Holiday of a lifetime!

…an absolutely wonderful, amazing, brilliant (etc.!) holiday we had, and to thank you for everything which came together to make the holiday so perfect. The arrangements were flawless in every respect, with guides to meet and look after us from the moment we stepped off the airport in Quito, until we said goodbye. What was so special was how personal the service was from all the guides and drivers and everyone we met. I have already been, and will continue to recommend Think Galapagos to anyone and everyone who might even consider a holiday in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Definitely a holiday of a lifetime!

The itinerary was perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing

We wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Everything went seamlessly. We were always met on time and the team was friendly and extremely helpful. In fact everyone we met did everything they could to make our holiday amazing. All three regions that we visited were incredibly interesting and the guides made sure we saw as much as possible and were so enthusiastic. It was so worth it to have our own guides. So thank you very much Rachel for organising our holiday and having such an amazing team in Ecuador. The itinerary was perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing.

The trip was beyond what could be expected or described – an absolute delight

This trip was stand-out and noteworthy, even amongst all the other interesting international trips we have done. The ship was lovely, comfortable, luxurious, the food was amazing, the crew was courteous, attentive, competent, with obvious logistical expertise, and Jorge was mind-blowingly knowledgeable. Add the real reason we were there--to see the islands and all they offer--was beyond what could be expected or described. It was an absolute delight. At every point of our little journey we felt confirmed that the package we had chosen was perfect for us, from the Ecuadorians who so graciously served us, to the size of the vessel, the route, and the logistical ease of equipment managed by others, travel while resting, etc. etc. etc.

This was one of the best trips we’ve ever done together

This was one of the best trips we've ever done together. We loved the Galaxy Yacht, the food, the quality of service, and the amount of activity v. downtime. Our naturalist guide (Jorge) was incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated that he ate dinners with us and was generally around and eager to mingle with the group. I know 16 is a full-capacity tour, but we felt the group size of 7 people was the perfect number for us. We've come home with memories to last us a lifetime, and such unique and wonderful experiences in God's beautiful creation and with fascinating wildlife. 10/10 we will recommend not only the Galapagos Islands, but this specific trip to our family and friends.

We’ve never been on a cruise before but this was an amazing experience

The Seaman II is a beautiful boat. We’ve never been on a cruise before, but this was an amazing experience. What a great crew! All were so professional, friendly and helpful.

It was one of the best times of my life

I can honestly say my time on Tip Top II was one of the best times of my life. I was so impressed with everything from the amazing staff, quality of accommodation and food and the awesome itinerary. I couldn’t ask for more. I am also very impressed with your service which was always very prompt and professional with great communication. The after cruise service went very smoothly too. I have already recommended Think Galapagos to friends and will certainly be in touch if I ever want to return.

Everything was perfect! The guide was the best!

Everything was perfect! The guide was the best! He was great with the kids. The kids took to snorkelling like fish. The food was great as was the whole staff. Zuleta was everything you indicated it would be!  We hiked and did the horseback riding. The kids loved that as well. The food was unbelievable.

Rachel was an excellent resource

Rachel from Think Galapagos was an excellent resource. We had ideas regarding what we wanted, and Rachel accommodated our plans while adding knowledge tips and suggestions and answering our many questions.  Rachel is a great resource that I will definitely recommend to any friends with Galapagos on their travel list.

Top Marks 10/10!! We loved every minute

This was a holiday of a lifetime.... thanks to 'Think Galapagos' the organisation was flawless.   Taking a day out in Quito was really worthwhile and made special by our great guide Maria and driver Marcello. The boat (Seaman Journey) was very comfortable and homely, the crew were very friendly and efficient, and the food was really good. Marco, our guide, was a star. His knowledge was prodigious, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Top marks 10/10!!!!  Zuleta was a delightful interlude. I (we) loved every minute.
