Creator's Key Takeaways

The only bad time is when you will for Galapagos is when you stay at home.

Galapagos is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not a holiday, not a tour. It's an experience.

We have zodiacs, boats that take us to the islands to and fro. We got kayaks, paddle boards. We have a glass bottom boat.

The core principle of the company is sustainability. Leave the places that we touch better than we found them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring binoculars for wildlife viewing
Wear good hiking boots and shoes for wet landings
Use reef-safe sunscreen (oxybenzone and octinoxate free)
Bring insect repellent, especially for rainy season
Consider bringing your own snorkeling mask for better fit
