We did an 8 night/7 day trip with Uniquely Galapagos in late September/early October (low season with fewer crowds). We visited San Cristobal, Isabella, Santa Cruz, and North Seymour. Three of the days were boat trips with snorkeling and hiking (short-sleeved wetsuits generally ok for snorkels of 45 minutes or less; long-sleeved ones are better for anything longer); the other days were a mix of hiking (e.g., Sierra Negra and Chico Volcano) or guided visits to places like the El Chato Giant Tortoise Reserve. We opted to fly between the islands (if you are very tall you may find the interior of the 6-seater planes to be too cramped). Reasons to go with Brett Peters’ Uniquely Galapagos: Customer Service (Brett was readily available for calls or emails both before and during the trip. On the eve of each new day’s outing, we’d received a WhatsApp with full details of where to meet, what to bring, activities, etc. At the end of each day, we’d receive an email asking how the day went); Bespoke Itineraries (start and end dates are flexible as are options like which snorkel trip to do or whether to fly or ferry between the islands and which class of hotel you prefer); Company Ethos (Uniquely Galapagos supports local businesses and is guided by a focus on sustainability and conservation); Reputable Partners (the boats and guides it partners with were all good, especially Stef who is hugely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about every aspect of this archipelago). The huge biodiversity of flora and fauna, the large number of endemic species, and the ability to get so close to giant tortoises, sea lions, frigate birds and blue-footed boobies made for a very memorable trip.

We spent 6 days on this fantastic cruise ship and it was amazing. The ship is very well maintained, comfortable and the service on board is exceptional. The food was varied and delicious. It was a truely amazing and unique experience...we loved it!

Our family group of 8 had a wonderful time! The children were delighted with their hotels with pools and beachside. Wonderful guides taught us so much. It all happened like clockwork with a couple of minor hiccups. Saw so many animals and sights. Memories of a lifetime. Highly recommend Uniquely Galapagos.

Our trip to the Galapagos was amazing. Brett Peters was very communicative and helped us with every aspect of our planning. During the trip, Brett emailed us daily to make sure everything was going well and to prepare us for the next day’s activities. I would highly recommend Brett at Uniquely Galapagos
