8 Day Galapagos Adventure in San Cristobal, Santa Cruz & Isabela

Our experience with them was amazing from start to finish. The guides were extremely friendly, professional, and always on time. We felt fully supported throughout the entire process, both before the trip and while we were there, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. Galápagos itself is absolutely incredible and definitely a destination everyone should experience at least once. And if you’re planning a trip there, I highly recommend going with them — they made the whole experience even more special!

We did the 8-day tour visiting 3 islands and, in general, it was a spectacular experience. The organization was excellent from the start. All transfers were very well coordinated, the tours were incredible, and the itinerary allowed us to see the best of Galapagos without worrying about the logistics. Communication was very good throughout the trip and there was always someone willing to help us when we needed it. The food exceeded our expectations and the guides made every activity even more special thanks to their knowledge and passion for the islands. Without a doubt, the Galapagos is a magical destination, but we believe that a large part of how well it went for us is due to the agency's excellent planning. Everything was thought out so that we could simply enjoy the trip. We totally recommend this tour to those who want to get to know the Galapagos in a comfortable, organized way and making the most of every day. Thank you very much for helping us live an experience that we will remember forever!

I would like to thank Nature for the excellent experience it provided us in the Galápagos. From the beginning, Christian was very attentive and concerned with the details of the trip so that everything would go perfectly. And it did. Guides, transportation, boats, meals—all were very good. Punctual, friendly, and everything very well communicated by the team. I already miss the island.

The Galapagos Islands are spectacular. I thank Cristian very much from Quito, Cristian in San Cristobal, Fernando and Angel in Santa Cruz, and Ricardo in Isabela from the agency Nature Galapagos, and the local tour guides. This has been one of the best trips, it was a magical experience swimming with turtles, sharks, marine life, bird watching in Seymour North and visiting amazing places as well as walking with land turtles. I highlight Isabela Island is wonderful, there are lovely beaches there, and a huge impactful biodiversity including penguins, 360 tour on San Cristobal Island. The islands are very safe and a paradise for those of us who like nature. Also, he stressed that Cristian adjusted the itinerary to my ability, invited me to a dinner for my birthday from the agency, and were always very friendly and hospitable throughout the tour. Thank you so much for this tour and supporting this great natural heritage of mankind! A hug

The trip definitely exceeded expectations. Everything was planned to the millimeter by the agency and they were flexible with requests from me. I'll be back anyway.

I always went from escaping to the tours and doing everything on my own, but this time I decided to hire an 8-day package and the experience was spectacular. I was always well oriented and every place I visited, everything was explained in detail. I felt very taken care of, they were always watching me. I appreciate choosing this company for my first time in Galapagos. I recommend it and hope to be back soon. Thank you, Fernanda, for always watching my inquiries!

We really enjoyed the package that Miss Maria Belen helped us choose, she was very patient with us, an excellent person and very professional.

Christian Nieves at Nature and Galapagos was, by far, the best tour guide we could have asked for. We, 3 older women, spent 8 days, 7 nights on the islands. The tour Christian organized for us was all we could desire. We were met at the Guayaquil airport, taken to our hotel and treated like royalty from then on. We stayed at Seaside hotel. Angermeyer Inn and Isamar hotels. They were all clean, safe, very nice. The Angermeyer was our favorite. Would definitely stay longer at this hotel. The tour guides were all so polite, spoke English, and helped us with problems we had. One of our group, left a special plug for her CPAP machine and it was delivered 2 islands later. Terrific service. Would give Christian a raise! Will use this tour company on our next trip. Thank you, Christian.

Our family of eight recently took the 8 day trip, and we loved every minute of it. The hotels were perfect with either a pool or on the beach for the younger kids, ages 6 & 7. Most of the time we were able to pick our food choices from the menu; sometimes, we were given only a few choices; however, it was delicious and ages 6 through 70 were satisfied. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We loved learning how well preserved the islands are and the care that is taken to keep them that way. The snorkeling was enjoyed by all. We only wish we never had to leave this magical place.

We recently went on this tour with Viator to the Galapagos Islands and we had a very good experience overall. Firstly, you get to see all three main islands on this tour and this means you really do see all the main animals on the islands and get a great feel of the culture. Eight days is enough to see all the main tourist sites without getting bored of doing the same thing. I really don't think you need a longer tour unless you are especially into birds, insects / marine life, or sports. The tour was mainly on Isabela island which is, by far, the best of the three islands. The amount on each one was appropriate. The tour guides on the whole were very good and knowledgeable, there were a couple that were obviously picked last minute / didn't have the knowledge but this only happened once on the trip. The organisation is very good and the hotels tended to know who you were and what time you were being picked up and going to each attraction. The tours always tended to have bathrooms, and explained what you need to bring in advance and had the right balance between explaining the science / siteseeing. There was also no pressure / begging / doing the American thing of "expecting" tips, you gave tips when you felt they deserved it (most of them we did tip) - on a lot of tours they basically pressure you at the end. That was not the case here. They don't pressure you to spend extra money unlike a lot of tours which get you to buy more drinks or go to certain shops. The reason it is a 4*, and not a 5* is for the following reasons: - This tour included all meals and they were, generally, the same day in day out. You tended to always have chicken / fish with rice and chips which is altogether nice, but you tended to crave a pizza or curry by day 4. I would recommend getting a tour with only breakfast and one other meal, because you WILL get bored of the food quickly and you will end up spending more, and Galapagos is an expensive place to eat out. - The exception to this rule was the last hotel on our trip, Hotel San Vicente which is owned by the tour operator who did this tour (called San Vicente) and has better staff, food, room and is in the best location of all the hotels. I think this tour should focus getting the other places to stay up to scratch, because the tour company do a magnificent job picking out the best place to stay, the first two places are a let down . - The internet everywhere sucked Overall, great tour though and we would recommend
