The experience was great. Each island we visited was different, and G Adventures provided a CEO that was local and knowledgeable. She also was enthusiastic, which always makes the experience more pleasurable. The snorkeling was some of the best. The crew members were so very helpful and cheerful, and they kept the cabins meticulously clean each day. I would recommend the G Adventures experience to anyone going to the Galapagos Islands.Show more
