Traveler Testimonials

I researched many different companies and what they tour. This was the perfect one that not only showed the beautiful and wonderous sites, but showed the culture as well. And that is what we wanted to get out of this trip. Culture, sites, experiences. They have it all.

In a word, our guides were PHENOMENAL. I can't say enough about both. Pablo was so knowledgeable and experienced and his passion for the islands just shone through. Paolo was a warm, kind, steady, constant always one step ahead of everything and anticipating our needs and wants - he just took such good care of us all and made sure we had everything we needed.

Trip of a lifetime! Incredible beyond words.

For a wheelchair user, the idea of traveling in the Galapagos seemed impossible. GalaKiwi made it happen - the complete adventure with all the wildlife, natural history, and experiences! We were able to do much, much more than we thought possible. This was the trip of a lifetime.

This is a great outfit, both professional and personal. They handled our large group extremely well, and the guides were super-attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Highly recommended!

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Galakiwi. Every part of our trip went flawlessly, from the reservation process to the entire itinerary to the final transport back to the airport. Our guide through the islands, Martin, was knowledgeable, dependable, flexible, and fun. Our days were packed with diverse and interesting activities, but not overwhelming. Our hotel accommodations were clean and comfortable. Each of our meals were filling, healthy, fresh, and surprisingly delicious. Pretty much every experience exceeded our expectations! Galakiwi made planning and conducting my first student group trip easy…I will absolutely be a repeat customer!

Our guide Pablo is the Steve Irwin of Ecuador and Karen at Galakiwi offered 24/7, 365 concierge customer service. Truly an exceptional experience from booking to completion that left our family with new life long friends. I cannot recommend Galakiwi highly enough!

Excelente Trip! Our highlights were Swimming with sea lions at Tintoreras, seeing the Blue Footed Boobie dance, Floreana island - quiet and mysterious, seeing the southern cross at night, Pepo’s knowledge of all things Galapagean and his patience and gentle manner and humor, the organization of activities and meals and Pepo’s SuperPlans so we were prepared for the next activity.
