Evaluating 106 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their attentiveness, helpfulness, and extensive knowledge, making every interaction pleasant and informative. People frequently highlight the exceptional service, noting that trips were flawlessly planned and executed, exceeding expectations with excellent coordination and stress-free arrangements. The holidays offered are described as wonderful, with many considering them once-in-a-lifetime adventures, and the locations visited are highly appreciated for their beauty and diverse wildlife.

A few people also felt that the location of some hotels was inconvenient, particularly for brief overnight stays or before specific tours.

Galapagos Islands - When Can I Go Again?

My husband and I recently returned from a wonderful visit to the Galapagos Islands. We worked with Katie Beckwith, and she made everything so easy for us. From booking our hotel the night before our flight to Baltra until we flew back to JFK Airport in New York a week later, everything went just as expected. We did not have to worry about where to go and how to get there. The vessel we went on for our island hopping and excursions was the Alya. Beautiful small ship with a wonderful, attentive staff and the food was really varied and delicious!

A perfect choice

When looking for a cruise, I found the Galapagos Travel Center online. I called them while I was in Europe and got a warm, professional response. The Travel Center was instrumental in guiding us through the choices as I was looking for the right cruise for my daughter and me. The representative explained in detail the differences between the various cruise options. We decided to go with the 8-day trip on the Infiniti. It turned out to be a perfect choice.
While preparing for the trip, the Travel Center answered all my questions including those regarding the payments, the daily program, the equipment provided by the boat and the details of the cabin. All documents were sent promptly and explained in detail.
The hotel they had selected for us for the one night before and one night after the cruise was the Go Quito Hotel in downtown Quito. It was a 5-star hotel with a fabulous restaurant on the 17th floor (breakfast was included) and a beautiful spa and pool. We liked this hotel and were glad that the Travel Center had selected it for us (rather than a hotel at the airport).
All in all, I felt we were in very good hands having the Galapagos Travel Center as our trip organizer. Thank you Galapagos Travel Center!

I wanted bird and wildlife pictures

I wanted bird and wildlife pictures. Three of our days were in geologically interesting areas. Did not see flightless cormorants or flamingos If you want birds, choose a different cruise

We’re truly sorry you couldn't see the birds you were hoping for. With the wide variety of itineraries available, there are several options specifically designed for spotting these types of birds, and our representatives are always happy to guide you through the best alternatives based on your interests and preferences.

We sincerely hope you were still able to enjoy the incredible beauty of Galapagos, with its abundant wildlife and incredible landscapes.

Thank you for orchestrating an unforgettable trip

Every outing was so well planned, a great daily balance of activities led by guides who knew their stuff and were fun to be with. The amount of snorkeling we did was incredible, we saw every animal we wanted to see and one of our guides had an excellent underwater camera and gave us photos of our wildlife encounters. Thank you for orchestrating an unforgettable trip.
