    Asked on July 6th, 2026

    Is there an age exception possible for someone who is 41 years old to join this tour?

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      We would not be able to accommodate you if you are outside of the ages 18 to 39. However we have a very similar tour that is for all ages called Galápagos Island Hopping SEQI

    • S

      Stephanie

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      Could you let me know all available tours that you would recommend with prices and single supplements if possible and any discounts for it being so last minute?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      The Galápagos Island Hopping SEQI has 4 requestable spaces for departing on the 12th-20th of July. Please allow 3-4 business days for processing (though it can take 5-10 business days for Japan, Europe, Turkey and Roamies trips), in order to confirm that all of the components of the tour package can be confirmed for you. This may include but is not limited to accommodations, activities, and transport.

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      I will be 63 years old at the time of the tour. I am in good health, I work out almost every day of the week and I am very active. Why is this tour restricted to 1-36???

    • V

      Veronica

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      I am interesting on booking this tour, but just notice an age restriction. I will be 63 by the time of the tour, but I am in good health, work out almost everyday and very active. I just came back from an Iceland tour with a great deal of walking on ice and I did not have any problems. Can you make an exception?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      Unfortunately, we're unable to make exceptions to the 18–39 age requirement for this tour, even for very active travellers. We recommend taking a look at our Classic or Active Galápagos tours, which don't have this age restriction and offer a similar experience.

    Asked on March 20th, 2026

    We would like to book this tour in December. But we will be arriving into Guayaquil. Could we commence tour from Galapagos?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

      There are selected dates:
      ** Sat, 12 Dec - Sun, 20 Dec
      ** Sat, 19 Dec - Sun, 27 Dec
      ** Mon, 21 Dec - Tue, 29 Dec

      This is an 18-30 something tour style. This is a accommodation style of simple hotels (8 nts). You may be sharing accommodation with other travelers of the same sex. A single supplement is available for this tour on request and depends on availability.

      Brian

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      I didn't check the age group. We are a family of 3 and would like to arrange 6-7 day tour to 3 islands from Galapagos, approximately from the 27th December. Can you please let me know.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

      Please can you advise the age of the child in the family, so that we can best determine which tour type will be suitable for you.

      Brian

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      We are 3 adults

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

      The only option that would be suitable that starts in the Galapagos Islands is our Galapagos Island Hopping tour. This departs on 28th December - 05 January, starting and ending in Puerto Ayora. Would this be suitable?

    Katie

    Asked on February 19th, 2026

    Can you upgrade from the hostel accommodation at the end of the trip - do you alternatively have any 4/5 night cruises around this time in September? I work for a tour operator - do you offer any concessionary trade rates?

    Accommodation
    Operator
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2026

      As this tour is part of our 18-to-thirtysomethings travel style most of the accommodation would be hostels or simple hotels which cannot be upgraded when booking. All upgraded would need to be looked into during the tour and they cannot be guaranteed. Our shortest Galápagos cruise tours is 7 days, we do not have cruises that run for 4 or 5 nights only.

    Asked on January 21st, 2026

    Do you offer gluten free meals?

    Meals
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026

      Galapagos has some limitations, so this will be managed by the CEO locally as well with what is available. It is advised that you bring along some of your own snacks just as a back up

    Are age 13 and 16 allowed on this trip? Or do you have another option. That they will be able??

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026

      Our Galapagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions tour is from our 18-30 Somethings travel style where the required traveller age must be 18-39 years old. However, we have a similar tour called Upgraded Land Galapagos from our Classic travel style available May 17th-26th that might work for you.

    Asked on October 16th, 2025

    Can you please advise how many snorkeling tours we do, if there's an option for diving and what pre and post tours you offer from quito

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025

      You have two included snorkelling experiences on this trip plus free time where you can opt to snorkel again or simply relax on the beautiful beaches. Any diving must be booked separately yourself.

    Claudia

    Asked on October 13th, 2025

    i don't mind being active, things like hiking the volcano etc are ok for me, i'd rather do a land based trip than be living on a boat, especially as a solo traveller. I am very interested in wildlife, especially as Galapagos has a number of unique animals to see. I'd like to see a few different islands if possible, also learn a little about local culture etc.

      Spot the same tour cheaper on another site or agency.

    2. Send us the quote

      Contact us before you book.

    3. We match it

      If the quote qualifies, you book with us at that price.

    Your quote needs

    • Same tour and operator
    • Same start and end dates
    • Same number of travelers
    • Same inclusions and destinations
    • Same booking and cancellation terms, in the same currency
    • A link to the site or agency offering it

    What doesn’t count

    • Quotes issued more than 24 hours ago
    • Cash back or loyalty program rebates
    • Itineraries that are similar but not identical
    • Similar tours run by a different operator
    • Bookings already confirmed on TourRadar

    Every new booking also counts toward your , which unlocks extra savings.

  • Accessibility

    Some tours are not suitable for mobility-restricted traveler, however, some operators may be able to accommodate special requests. For any enquiries, you can contact our customer support team, who are ready and waiting to help you.
