A group of students from Canisius College in Buffalo, NY were lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel to Ecuador and to the Galapagos Islands in2008. This is just one student's journal from the adventure..

Galapagos Cruise: Through Adventure Life, my friends and I flew into Quito and on to the Galapagos Islands, where we spent 8 days on a 215' square rigger sailing yacht, exploring the islands with an ecologist. What an adventure!

Our Galapagos trip combined adventure (snorkeling with sharks, sea turtles, &sealions), geology (volcanoes), zoology, history (Darwin), folklore (murder & intrigue), culture, & rest. But the best was sharing it with the people I love the most

We were on Samba for the voyage of June 9th thru the 16th. We had a wonderful experience. The entire Samba crew was dedicated above all to our safety, enjoyment and comfort. Boy did they deliver! Great cruise!

For me one of my best experiences in my life.....Galapagos is perfect on the Angelito yacht !!!! The guide Maja was excellent !!!! The food, The crew was fantastic !!! I want to come back again !!!

From June to September whales come to Ecuador for mating season. IS great to see their dances in the water. The area around is amazing, archeology, landscapes, culture, history, traditions, Panama hats, enchanted beaches, wildlife.... highly recommended.

A mind blowing dive into the Ecuadorian Dream..... from trekking the lush paths and secluded waterways of the Amazon, to the awe-inspiring curiosity of the Galapagos Islands..... absolute heaven on Earth!

I am including a selected number of photos i took while
I was on my tour. Enjoy.

Tanner picked a trip to Ecuador and even though his older brother and dad did not want to go we had an amazing experience that no one will ever forget and we had it together!

A truly special trip to share with my wonderful mom. Days in the highlands allowed us to explore the roots of the Andean cultures and remnants of the former Incan empire. Followed by a week on the islands that inspired Darwin and that still, to this day, house an incredible diversity of species and adventure.
