Quito and Galapagos by RobH, 27 Nov 2017
Holiday Rating:

Galapagos dream.

I had a wonderful trip to the Galapagos with Tribes, 2 days in Quito first, then an 8 day boat trip which was simply sensational. All the trip went exactly to plan, there were no unexpected dramas, the boat and guide were superb, and all in all, it was literally the trip of a lifetime. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tribes.

We're really pleased you had such a good time Robert. The Galapagos is an amazing place and Tribes has been working there for many years. Thanks for your lovely feedback.

An amazing adventure

Mainland Ecuador was incredible with its volcanoes, its history and the equator to boot. However, the Galapagos Islands were amazing! The volcanic landscape, the hikes on different islands, the blue and red footed boobies, the iguanas that literally cover the ground in places, giant tortoises, sea life, sea lions at home everywhere, including landing steps and park benches! Sailing through sparkling ocean waves accompanied by dolphins and turtles...

Sailing through sparkling ocean waves accompanied by dolphins and turtles. with frigate birds soaring overhead and pelicans and cormorants diving like missiles. Absolute bliss! A great holiday, too, for solos as all guests on Tip TopII mixed and talked, at mealtimes, on landings, in fact most of the time.

Everything about my dealings with Tribes was excellent and so different from other larger companies with whom I have travelled in the past. The consultant was so approachable and knowledgeable about the destination. Pre holiday information was very detailed and helpful and any queries were answered promptly either by email or by phone. The holiday really did match the description given and when I had the misfortune to suffer a fall, everyone on hand did all they could to minimise the disruption to my holiday and Tribes staff made arrangements to ease my journey home. I can highly recommend this company.

The trip seemed a long time in coming didn't it? But you got there! I'm so pleased it lived up to everything you wanted, but WHAT a shame about your fall. I hope you get better soon. Amanda
