Galapagos - A Trip to Remember
Galapagos Islands
|
Jul 1 - Jul 10, 2026
All our guides were very good and we had a great experience. My daughter joined the trip later after we had already made most of the reservations but Alvaro made all the last minute adjustments to the bookings and trips. We visited three islands (Santa Cruz, San Cristobal and Floreana) and had a great time in all of them. Since our Spanish was not good, we really appreciated that there were always a KimKim representative who made sure that we were on the correct trip/bus etc. We had a good time.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel was on the waterfront and by location it had amazing views. The rooms were small but comfortable. Our rooms had a balcony which was also a pleasant place to sit and take in the wonderful scenery. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very helpful in giving us a good idea on what to expect from the trips that we had booked. Their restaurant and breakfast was also excellent.
The Rooms were large and spacious. There were TV in the room . The breakfast was good but basic.
Activity Reviews
We set off early. The day was hot and not knowing the details of what to expect. There was a pretty breach at the end of the hike. Thinking this was a hike, we had hiking clothes and shoes. The beach at the end would have necessitated us to bring a whole change of clothes which seemed too much to carry. On hindsight - this was not a true hike but a short walk. People were dressed for swimming - slippers/sandals was all we needed.
The boat was fast and the outboard motor was very noisy. But that's to be expected. Otherwise the trip was ok.
Angie was our guide took us to the highlands to see the crater of the extinct volcano. She did a very good job in explaining the history and geology of the area. This was a nice short uphill walk which was very pleasant for all of us. Then we went to lunch to a local farm house and it was delicious.
Fast and noisy
