Majo was amazing! She helped us craft a number of experiences that met our budget, answered all of our question promptly and adjusted her recommendations to meet our needs.

The team they work with in Galápagos was so great! From our arrival at Baltra airport, they had everything covered and through mostly different guides and drivers each day, we were always well taken care of.

The experiences were mostly different so hard to pick the best. We spent most time on Santa Cruz and enjoyed the El Chato tortoise preserve and lava tunnel experience. Kayaking on Tortuga Bay was fun and the guide even stayed with us when we chose to snorkel after (bring your own mask/towel). Bay tour was great as well.

For our trip to Isabela, they took us to the pier for the ferry (with all passes ready for us) and met our guide upon arrival. The Tintoreras tour had a little bit of duplication but still great experience.

Majo and the Galapagos lead Rita communicated with us daily via WhatsApp (we had Airalo eSIM that worked great everywhere). We were well cared for and so nice to be able to relax and just enjoy the amazing experiences they curated.

Hotel Review
Hotel Cally Galapagos
Puerto Villamil

Hotel Cally is not considered a hotel (considered a hostel-only 4 true hotels on the island) but was clean and comfortable with full bath, hot water and full delicious breakfast (7-8:30am). Check out is 10am but we were able to leave our luggage there to explore the island before our ferry back to Santa Cruz. We were only there one night but met our needs.

Authenticity & Character
It was a fine hotel. Nothing particularly stands out. We were on the fourth(top) floor so pack light!
Location
No place is a far walk so got everywhere within a 10-15 minute walk. Kimkim arranged a drive from pier to hotel and back the next day. All ways!
Staff
Didn’t interact much. Check in was quick and easy. Breakfast was great!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Bed was comfortable. Very quiet.
