We swam with sea turtle and sea lions. We saw blue-footed boobies, penguins and tortoises. We learned about the geology and ecosystems of the islands. The people were welcoming and knowledgeable. Our tour director was very helpful. Our time on the mainland was great. They loved the equator tour and learning about the indigenous people of Ecuador.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This was a great trip full of adventure! The hotels were cute and safe. A few meals could have been better but many were great. Our tour director was amazing and went out of his way to meet our needs. We did so many fun activities, my students had a great time. This was my first EF Tour and I will definitely be planning another one.

This itinerary is fantastic! The sights, sounds, tastes, critters, people, culture, and ecology of the Galapagos and Ecuador are indescribable! This tour has it all! From start to stop, our students were busy discovering enchanting Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. This transformational experience has them craving their next adventure!

The Galápagos did not disappoint. Our Galápagos guides could have been more 'in-tune' with the needs of our group, but overall my TD was outstanding.

It was my son that went and loved every minute

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Kids enjoyed the experience. They kept busy from morning til night, enjoyed the tour guides, and gave food two thumbs up. There was a whole lot of travel time on ferries and busses which they didn’t love but would go back again!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great experience as far a seeing everything and having a well rounded experience. An action packed educational experience of a lifetime. Could have spent a little more time at each place. A little rushed. As always a few better quality hotels and meals here and there could use tweaking. A++.

Thankful for the opportunity to send him to travel. This was his first trip without his parents and I saw it as an opportunity to grow. However son was bullied to the point that adults on the trip apologized afterwards. The tour was very nice but my son couldn’t fully enjoy it due to some kids being mean and having no consequences. Low rating for adults who went. The teacher who led it was helpful I guess she wasn’t aware or expected the parents of the children who were bullying to guide their boys better. I would send him on another EF tour with different students.

This was a once in a lifetime trip! Our guide Ximena Pallo and the Galapagos guides Tommy and Ramiro were incredible and made our trip one we will never forget.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

We had an awesome trip. After waiting an extra 2+ years it was amazing. The islands themselves were incredible. Being in close proximity to the Galapagos turtles and swimming with the sharks and seals is simply indescribable. My students fell in love with the the islands and plan to return at some point in their lives. Everyone associated with our trip went out of their way to create the perfect Ecuador and Galapagos experience!
