“It was truly the trip of a lifetime. A number of people ask what the highlight was and we really can't pick one. It was all highlight. We cannot speak highly enough of just about every aspect of our time in Ecuador. Everything you arranged for us worked perfectly. Our Quito guide Fatima was a total delight, as were Luis in the Galapagos and Juan in the rainforest. We were delighted with the Cachalote. Our cabin was excellent, the crew so pleasant and attentive. And of course the place is spectacular. The Napo Lodge was beautiful and again the service was excellent. We have travelled quite a bit and this is the first time we have had a trip organised by someone else and we are glad that you were recommended to us. We could get used to it! We really hope we can go back to Ecuador sometime. Thank you so much. “

“ We had a fantastic trip and all the arrangements worked perfectly. We absolutely loved the Ocean Spray and the food they served on the yacht was amazing. We were very pleased with all the hotels/lodges that you recommended – it is so much more interesting to stay in small personally run accommodation rather than the large generic chain hotels. The Galapagos is certainly a unique and special place.”

“We had a wonderful trip all beautifully organised by you with friendly and professional guides in all the three locations. The hospitality, crew members, food, trips were wonderful and could not be faulted. I have recommended both your company and Maja. Once again thank you for the magnificent vacation.”

" We had a great trip to Galapagos. The whole experience was mind blowing, and it was so wonderful to see all the wildlife around the island. Maja our guide was great and made every day of our trip special. We were very well looked after and cannot find any faults with the itinerary or the organisation and I will never forget the whole journey."

“Thanks for a trip of a lifetime ….All our connections worked, and the guys who picked us up were all first class. Both El Monte and Passion were great places from which to discover and enjoy everything about the forest and islands. Fernando was a brilliant guide, and from what others on board said, have spoilt us for future trips! And our guide who started our trip Santiago was equally knowledgable and engaging. I have been recommending you already!”

"We had the most amazing trip! We have been home only a few days from our round the world trip and the Galapagos was definitely my favourite place! The Sea Star and its crew were outstanding. We felt millionaires on the very comfortable yacht! The crew were so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! I really couldn't find any faults with this trip! Our naturalist guide was great, very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure everyone saw animals we most wanted to. Including helping me to swim with the hammerhead sharks! We really enjoyed our night on the island and would recommend it to anyone doing a cruise. The whole experience of booking right through to coming home has been wonderful. I will highly recommend Think Galapagos to anyone planning a trip and hope that one day we might be able to travel with you again! You've been fantastic 5 star service!"

“We had a truly fantastic time and this was a unanimous verdict. The Beagle is a great vessel but it is made fantastic by the competence, friendliness, commitment and professionalism of the Captain and crew. The guide was Fabian Romero Davila and he too was exceptional and he got on really well with everyone. Thank you very much for all your help and advice over the last year or so, the whole trip could not have gone better.”

“ ..an absolutely wonderful, amazing, brilliant (etc.!) vacation we had, and to thank you for everything which came together to make the vacation so perfect. The arrangements were flawless in every respect, with guides to meet and look after us from the moment we stepped off the airport in Quito, until we said goodbye to our lovely Galapagos guide at Baltra airport to fly back to the mainland. The wildlife highlights of the vacation were many, of course. But what was so special was how personal the service was from all the guides and drivers and everyone we met, which made it so far removed from a 'group tour' type vacation. Daniel King looked after us so well in Quito and was so knowledgeable and interesting to talk to, and Freddy Perez who took us down to El Monte with his uncle Louis was a delightful young man. And finally, I have to mention Tom and Mariella and our fabulous stay at El Monte! It is the most wonderful place. Many thanks again to you and all of the team. I have already been, and will continue to recommend Think Galapagos to anyone and everyone who might even consider a vacation in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Definitely a vacation of a lifetime!!”

“Thank you for arranging the best vacation of our lives! From start to finish this trip has been the most amazing experience ever! Ecuador was absolutely amazing. The Hotel del Parque is a luxurious oasis with excellent staff. Our adventure then moved on to the Beluga and the Tower Itinerary tour of the Galapagos Islands. The Beluga, crew and our guide Bernie, were all exceptional. I have never been so close to so many amazing creatures in my life. We saw everything! We snorkelled with White and Black Tip Reef Sharks, Green Back and Hawksbill Turtles, played with Sea Lions, swam with shoals and shoals of colourful fish, all shapes and sizes, not forgetting the Sea Horse at Los Tuneles, Isabella. On land we experienced wall to wall Sea Lions, males, females and with babies, Iguanas of all shapes, sizes and colours, lizards, wading birds, Flamingoes and of course the Giant Tortoises. In the air and land, birds, birds, birds. The Albatross, which I think was my favourite, displaying their mating ritual and nursing a baby was a massive highlight, Pelicans, Penquins, Red and Blue footed Boobies, Frigate Birds, Sheawaters, Storm Petrels, Owls, Tropic Birds which are so graceful and Hummingbirds and Caracara in Ecuador, the list is endless and mind blowing. Onward to Isabella via the most amazing plane ride we've ever taken. We had three amazing tours on Isabella, Sierra Negra Crater, Las Tintoreas and Los Tuneles each one surpassing the previous. Casa Marita was a lovely hotel, friendly, helpful and very comfortable. We can't thank you enough Rachel for all the help and advice you gave us planning this truly amazing and memorable trip of a lifetime. Thank you again, we wish you all well, you have an amazing company and talent.”
