It was a dream trip! My only complaint was it went by too quickly! I don’t know which part was my favorite -swimming with the sea lions, visiting the organic rum still, shopping in Puerto Ayora, or exploring Montañita! It will be a trip I look back on fondly for many years to come! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and making our trip so stress-free! You are always welcome in Virginia.

A must see vacation destination! Galapagos Best had everything from transportation to snorkeling perfectly planned for us. Our tour guide, Javier, was super energetic and knowledgeable. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants and beach spots. We packed our itinerary with a daily excursion each day, which was a bit taxing, but definitely worth it. My favorite part of the trip was when we took a boat ride to Saint Bartolome, a small island just north of Santa Cruz. There, we snorkeled with a diverse group of animals including sea lions, penguins, and white-tip sharks!

In discussions over dinner this evening, Wendy & I agreed that we were so pleased to have taken the tour today. We really enjoyed getting out into the countryside, meeting so many nice people and having the experiences we had. It was a magic day for us. So we sincerely thank you & Fernando for making it such a good day.”John and Wendy took a day trip from Guayaquil to the Churute Ecological Mangrove Reserve and the Cacao & Mango Farm.
