I’m putting the word out there about a small family tour operator based in the Galapagos that looks like it has great trips. Admittedly I am friends with the owner, but if you take a look you will see that the prices are reasonable and the trip itineraries are exciting.

They offer ‘Island Hopping’ which refers to inclusive trips around the archipelago that don’t require booking with a big, international cruise company. After spending a lot of time in the Galapagos its refreshing to see a local company doing it right.

Lots of snorkeling, sea kayaking or horseback riding, hiking and zipping around in a charter boat to the islands.
