Santa Cruz Island Itineraries

Pablo was wonderful! Couldn

Pepo and Paulo were wonderful. They were as helpful as humanly possible and always cheerful and friendly. There was a great variety of experiences.

The Galapagos archipelago is magical, and Active Adventures made it the honeymoon of a lifetime for my wife and I. It

After joining Active Adventures 5 years ago for the Rimu trip in New Zealand, we didn't think we'd ever have another experience that we would consider a trip of our lifetime. However, our Tortuga trip in the Galapagos, the last week of the year, guided by Pablo Valladares, exceeded all of our expectations. Not only were the sites and all the wildlife spectacular, but Pablo's knowledge of the history of the Galapagos, his storytelling, and his infectious excitement in showing us something new, different, and rare all the time, kept us waiting for the next surprise. There is not one part of the trip that I could think of changing, and while I'm sure that all the guides do a great job, I don't know how one could have a better experience than one guided by Pablo. When asked what was the best part of the trip, it was impossible to pick between the dolphins, the marine iguanas, the Sally lightfoot crabs, the blue-footed boobies, sea lions, etc. However, as Pablo and the rest of our group would know, the number one moment for me was at the top of our hike at the Sierra Negra Volcano, when he told us to look up quickly and see the rare, endemic Galapagos Martin.......

It was a wonderful adventure- Gal

Loved Gustavo; loved the Galapagos; landscape, sea scape, animals and community were terrific. Guy who owned Galawiki was awful - you need a new partner. His dishonesty put a real damper on the end of the trip.
