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. 

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!

I have travelled to many places and had some wonderful holidays but this was the most exciting and stimulation holiday adventure I have ever had.

Once in a lifetime experience

Our Galapagos experience was excellent! It started with you answering all our questions and how easy you made it for us to get it set up. We very much appreciated being met at the airport and the help we received being walked through all the steps there.  The boat crew was terrific. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. It was a once in a lifetime experience. That said, I'd totally do it again!

A simply amazing time

A simply amazing time. Thank you so so much for all the hard work you put in to arranging and rearranging our trip so many times because of Covid. It was all worth it as we really did have the holiday of a lifetime. Both our guides were fantastic; Pedro in Quito who looked after us so well and Juan on the Beluga was the most fantastic guide – he knew every bird, plant, fish, insect and animal and was so passionate about it all that it was genuinely inspiring. The crew were all great and worked hard to give us all a memorable time.   We saw all that we could have wished for including albatrosses, seals, and dolphins swimming alongside The Beluga, and we snorkelled with sea lions, sharks, turtles and penguins. Not to mention the tortoises, iguanas, frigates and boobies, finches, flamingos and so much more. It was completely incredible and we will never forget it.

An incredible experience

Thank you for organising this most amazing trip for us. This was an incredible experience for us - we met so many lovely people, saw so many amazing new things and loved every minute of it!

Galapagos was everything we could have hoped for

What a fantastic experience our trip has been. Everything worked perfectly according to your plans, and we have been guided and looked after exceptionally well throughout the entire trip. Thank you for the time and care you took in arranging this for us. Our introduction to the cloud forest, and particularly its bird life, was a revelation. The stops at Alambi and Sachatamia Lodge on the way there were close to sensory overload. El Monte itself provided a unique opportunity for total immersion in the exceptional biodiversity of this environment. We were thrilled to have the personal guidance of Tom throughout our stay, and his knowledge and passion for preserving the ecology of the region was clear and inspiring.  And so to Galapagos, which was everything we could have hoped for. This was our first experience of a "live aboard" holiday, but would be difficult to surpass. The boat facilities were well designed and ideal for our needs, the crew were friendly, welcoming and efficient, and Franklin our guide was impressively knowledgeable and accommodating.  So many great memories, so many bucket-list experiences ticked, and the unexpected and supreme bonus of zero seasickness throughout the trip, made this a completely unrepeatable and unforgettable experience. I will never forget the sound of the anchor chain going down on arrival at the next day's destination, with the promise of new discoveries. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.”

Working with Think Galapagos allowed us to savor our trip

We had a wonderful time. Working with Think Galapagos allowed us to savor our trip and not worry about logistics. It’s hard to overstate how simple Rachel and her team made things for us. At every point of transition, someone was there to pick us up, give us the right papers, point us in the right direction. Tremendous peace of mind and ease.

Galapagos was stunning

Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip for us. Everything worked really well and we loved it all but the final week in the Galapagos was stunning. We knew the land animals were going to be impressive but hadn’t quite registered how good the snorkelling bit was going to be. We really thought we’d only ever go to the Galapagos once, but you might well see us back!
