This trip was wonderful. The itinerary was packed with excursions to the various islands and included snorkeling, kayaking, hiking and of course viewing the incredible animals, birds and sea life for which the Galapagos is known. Our Naturalist Guide was so knowledgeable that it was an educational experience as well.
Amanda was ever- present and tuned into the needs of the group. She had a way of facilitating our bonding that was so natural that it seemed to “just happen!” Starting the day with yoga was a gentle way of easing into the day’s adventure.
The hotel, where the giant tortoises roamed freely, was lovely and the staff were accommodating and friendly.
I would highly recommend One Life, Live It.

Even better than expected!! Amanda arranged our time so we made the most of each day. The day trips were led by a very competent guide - allowing us to learn about a wide variety of wildlife on the islands. The group of travelers led by Amanda had quality time together - all with purpose.

We had a great time. Amanda is a great leader. Very organized and excellent attention to detail. Super helpful and attentive. People she hired(guide and ship crew) were wonderful. Accommodations were superb.
