    For the price we paid, great tour. More than expected. Great route (key islands,amount of activities/freetime) and Lienke was a great guide (super helpful, organised, calm and made it memorable trip for us!). Highly recommend others depending on age and level of how much they can cope with the boat.

    Is it safe to book a Galapagos Adventure tour if we have age restrictions?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2025

      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.

  • T

    Tiffany

    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 AdventuresOperatorWritten 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.

    • T

      Tiffany

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      Okay, so it's only two scheduled ones. I have another one for 7 days that costs $1600 per person, so I will likely take that one.

    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.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      Things to consider: How active you want to be? Are you aged between 18-39? What wildlife are you interested in seeing? What style of accommodation would you be happy with? How long do you have the visit?

      This trip is a guaranteed departure, however it is now too last minute to add you onto the 26th July departure.

    Olga

    Asked on June 15th, 2025

    Are the domestic flights included in fee for this trip?

    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, the flight from Quito to Santa Cruz and then the flight from San Cristobal to Quito is included.

  • L

    Leslie

    Asked on May 20th, 2025

    Wondering if we're able to participate in this tour. We really enjoy snorkeling and this seems like a good fit. What's the physical activity level? We don't particularly enjoy hiking if the climb is steep, but are there alternate activites we could do if a hike is too strenuous?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      This tour is part of our 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style, and you must be within the age range of 18-39. We offer many different other tours to the Galapagos that are for all age ranges.

  • R

    Ronald

    Asked on February 10th, 2025

    Why is the age written 18-39. That is, there is no way for a family with children aged 13 and 15, and adults aged 43, to get on this tour.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      This tour is for first time independent travellers, it is not appropriate for under 18's and our travellers fed back that they wish to have a travel style that had like minded same aged people on so we created this. We have a similar tour open to all ages called Galapagos Island Hopping.

  • D

    David

    Asked on January 20th, 2025

    Is there are reason for that or is that a typo?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Not all of our tours have age limits, however, we have two particular tour styles '18-30 Somethings' and 'Roamies' where G Adventures is trying to cultivate a particular demographic. This is where the maximum age limit of 39 or 35 comes in.

  • V

    Virginia

    Asked on January 16th, 2025

    Can you make an exception? I am healthy, in good shape, I ski, hike, dive and travel all over the world. Please let me know if I can still sign up for this.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      At G Adventures we pride ourselves finding the right trip for the right person. For our '18-30 Somethings' tours, we are trying to cultivate a particular demographic. The majority of these trips are multi share or very basic accommodation such as camping or hostels. The itineraries are fast paced, have fewer included activities and instead focus more on socialising aspect of travel.

    Tim

    Asked on December 14th, 2024

    me gustaría saber si tienen este tour o parecido del 1 al 12 de enero, u otras opciones para realizar en privado, y si es en grupo cuantas personas serían
