Catalina recommended I do a tour of the southern islands and it couldn't have gone better. I was pleased to have my own room and all the food was excellent and crew aboard the yacht Anahi were very kind. We saw so much wildlife I was left wanting nothing except to not leave. Catalina also helped me book flights and a few extra days at Santa Cruz after the cruise and there were no issues. She recommended a day tour to Bartolomé to see penguins which she helped me book on the Galaxy Daily and it was an excellent suggestion, as we did see a penguin! I saw so many sharks, blue footed boobies, sea turtles, Galapagos tortoises, dolphins, sea lions, albatrosses, eagle rays, sting rays, all sorts of fish on our several snorkeling trips, an octopus, beautiful star fish, marine and land iguanas, flamingos, finches, and more. My heart is full.

This was amazing and the organisation by Catalina was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble . Our guides Pepe and Victor had amazing knowledge and you felt safe at all points . There are plenty of cycle lanes as well . It was great to see a bit more of Quito and learn about some of the murals . The market was fab trying various fruits . Victor then took us through some chocolate tasting and what he does not know about chocolate is not worth knowing. It was an incredible afternoon and would thoroughly recommend .

This was a great introduction to Ecuador. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot in a short space of time . The middle of the world experience was also fun with the experiments at the equator as well as seeing some traditional huts and dress . Would recommend
