Visit The Galapagos

This pinprick in the Pacific Ocean is the star of Ecuador, and for a good reason. There are not many places in the world where you can swim with dolphins, sea lions, marine iguanas, penguins and turtles in one day (not to mention the 400 different species of fish). On land, the spectacular show continues with active volcanoes and rocks carved into weird and wonderful shapes; sugar-white beaches and mangrove forests, each home to a mesmerising variety of birds, reptiles and mammals. A visit to the Galapagos is an investment in lifelong memories. It is vital to pick the right boat or lodge that will match your passions. The good news is that True Travel has done the research, and we know every vessel and eco-lodge inside out.

Out trip was tailor made for our interests and levels of comfort. The ease of transition from plane to hotel. Hotel to plane. Plane to camps. All so well organised. The camps and staff were amazing and the bush drives were fantastic. We meet kind, accommodating, interesting, and wonderful staff. Our guides tailored each trip to meet our interests. True travel prepared a trip that will be in my memory forever. Thank you Matt and David!
