Amazing!
I had to comment to say your photos look amazing! We are also thinking of taking a tour to the Galapagos - would you be able to recommend the Company you used? Many thanks. Nicola.

HI NIcola Thanks for your comment. I went with Gap Adventures and unfortunately I wouldn´t recommend them. They changed boats on us and I won´t go into details, but it wasnt an ideal trip! Shame, as I have travelled with them before and would recommend their regular tours. Nonetheless I had an amazing time so highly recommend the Galapagos, just go with someone else! Happy travels, Angela.
