Travel Articles: Galapagos

We headed back in time to the deceivingly desolate Galapagos Islands for a cruise through Santa Cruz, Genovesa, Santiago, and Bartolome Islands. We then then continued to the lush Amazon Basin, where we enjoyed four days exploring the forest floor and canopy surrounding Sacha Lodge.

Our Galapagos and Ecuador Adventure in 2012 was one of the most amazing destinations we have been to with the wildlife, culture, and diverse terrain. We did the 9-day multisport tour to San Cristobal, Isabela, and Santa Cruz. Afterwards we did an extension to Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge on mainland Ecuador. There was never a dull moment of …

A father and son trip of a lifetime to the Galapagos in April 2012. My son Ben (15) took all of these photos. Well, not the one of Ben on the lava rocks, I took that one.

4 amigos on a 3 Week South America Trip of a life time!

As a busy mother of 4, I seldom have time to take a step back and focus my attention on anything. We went ziplining, horseback riding, discovered local markets and enjoyed some wonderful food. This 11 day trip with my mom and oldest kids was a gift of shared time and memories we will never forget.

The landscape, the animals, the ship, and the service - all were outstanding!

To dream is to be alive! Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed about visiting the Galapagos Islands. Little did I know, that one day I would achieve that dream, not from Montreal where I was born, but from the Yukon, in northern Canada.

During the Summer of 2009 I promised my grandson that the following summer, after his high school graduation, I'd take him anywhere in the world as long as he was willing to travel with me. He chose the Galapagos Archipelago.

The words \"Adventure Life\" certainly described this hiking tour of Galapagos. Adventures were had from day 1 through the final return. WHAT FUN!! The animals, people and country was amazing...

Following in Charles Darwin's footsteps, I will be traveling to Ecuador, from Quito to the Galapagos Islands. I have my trusty backpack, my water shoes, my guide to Ecuador and of course, my camera. (Can't leave home without it). Buen viaje and vamos!

Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in beautiful Peru and the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. A trip of a life time!

It’s exciting to fly out of Quito since the city sits in a bowl high in the Andes, surrounded by mountain peaks, with the airport nestled right next to downtown. Soon we were up and over, on our way to our first island in the Galapagos.

Jaw dropping flora and fauna in the Galapagos Islands. Spectacular guides with a wealth of knowledge. Amazing photography opportunities. Quite possibly the best vacation I have taken thus far. I highly recommend extending your stay on the mainland of Ecuador to experience the culture too.

Each day I found myself amazed, excited, inspired, humbled, filled with a sense of wonder, or all of these! A fantastic Ecuador vacation to Old City Quito, Sacha Lodge in the Amazon, Otovalo area, and the Galápagos onboard the Millenium.

Galapagos Cruise: We had been wanting to go to the Galapagos for years, and I must say, the experience we had did not disappoint.

After being on over 22 cruises on big ships, I was looking for a different experience. I think Adventure Life did a outstanding job with all the arrangements, informative guides and staff before, during and after our Galapagos cruise on the Millennium.
