This was a trip of a lifetime guided by Christian and ActivExpedition. If you love nature and animals, you will have an amazing experience! The unique volcanic landscape combined with the gorgeous beaches, and incredible lava tunnels will make you want to stay for a long time! You will learn all about the islands, the history, the landscape, and the wildlife! We enjoyed snorkeling, swimming, hiking, biking, kayaking, and taking photos of all the amazing wildlife - turtles, tortoises, iguanas, rays, sharks, sea horses, and so many birds! (Flamingos, blue footed boobies, finches, Darwin vermillion fly catchers, and more!) And, it was so evident how much the people of Ecuador and the Galapagos islands take pride in creating sustainable tourism that focuses on protecting the landscape, wildlife, and local people. We stayed in beautiful hotels with delicious breakfasts served to us each morning. Christian had thought of every detail and I can't recommend this trip enough!
