How do you sum up a trip to the Galapagos? A birders paradise? A zoo without cages? Neither of the previous statements do Darwins Islands any justice. The Flamingo I, our vessel for the week, took us on an expedition to see and experience as much of the Galapagos as we possible could. Snorkeling with Green Sea Turtles, Sea Lions, Penguins and fish oh yes brightly colored and of all shapes and sizes we saw fish. It's a once in a lifetime experience to come into such close contact with the local wildlife. Birds in their nests two feet from the path, baby sea lions begging you to pick them up, crabs and lizards darting under your feet as you step lightly across the volcanic rock pathways. Dad and I traversed through an underground lava tunnel on Santa Cruz, having to crawl the last 10 feet providing a very unique experience. I was lucky enough to be on a family specific departure. What an awesome experience for kids! The Islands provide an intriguing vacation for all ages."
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
