True professionals and very helpful
Galapagos and Quito trips were awesome. Yumiko and Rodrigo did a fantastic job creating the right customized schedule for me that included airport pickup and drop offs, Quito day tour, North Seymour/ Mosquera island day tour, and Bartalome island day tours. They booked my hotels and took care of all my itinerary needs. Always responsive over WhatsApp. They coordinated with Betty from Galapagos Discovery very well. Highly recommend them for their professionalism, thoroughness and exceeding expectations!

Pretty Chill
Let's just say I didn't want to go home. Stayed in San Cristobal. Nice small beach town with a Malecon. Plenty of eating choices. The local downtown is just a few blocks up the hill. It helps to at least speak survival Spanish. Got a very professional haircut for $5. U.S currency used here and in Ecuador. That means higher prices than most latin countries. The surroundings and wildlife are, of course, world class. A $4 dollar taxi ride gets you to a beach where you can snorkel (ok) and see some fish, Mostly it's swimming with turtles and sea lions. You don't need my photos. Internet search it. In closing, it's a shame/blessing you can only stay 2 months. Rents are low. It's such a chill place. Slow pace. No crime. Everyone should visit once.

Go Galapagos- 4 days, Coral I Tour
This tour was amazing and affordable- I would highly recommend it. We went on the Coral i which was a tiny bit outdated but was amazing anyways. The crew were very hard working and attentive to our needs especially David! The tours were great and Jose the guide was extremely knowledgeable and there wasn’t anything he didn’t know :). The food was great too. The only down side was you had to pay $80 for the Wi-Fi which I didn’t!

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience. We had a bespoke tour that allowed us to see the highlights of the Galapagos Islands in the short time that we had available there. We enjoyed every day and had a good mix of snorkelling and hiking. Staff (Rodrigo and Betty) were on hand at all times to help with anything we needed and checked in daily when we were there. Rodrigo called me to chat through our requirements before booking.

Kudos to Galapagos Natural Life for a fantastic cruise experience
I recently booked a Galapagos cruise for my wife and myself with Galapagos Natural Life (GNL) and I'm very satisfied with the services rendered and my overall experience. Rodrigo, the Tour Manager, was with me every step of the way, answering all of my questions and concerns about getting to the airport, the check in procedures and document requirements. He was always available to answer a question no matter the time of day or day of the week. Even though we arrived two days before the start of our cruise, Rodrigo gladly arranged for transportation from the airport to my temporary residence and back again to the airport for the Galapagos flight which he also arranged and booked for us. Full disclosure, I had attempted to book the same cruise to the Galapagos Islands with another well known travel organization in Quito but dropped them due to hundreds of dollars of unexplained fees in their pricing. GNL's pricing was upfront with no hidden or unexplained charges and I found their pricing to be a much better value as it included my flights to the islands. The cruise ship, the Galapagos Legend, was amazing and I highly recommend taking a cruise to see the islands. When we decided to spend an extra night on Santa Cruz island after disembarking, Rodrigo cheerfully provided hotel recommendations and arranged for our luggage to be separated from the cruise ship and delivered to our final stop where he had arranged for a taxi to pick us, and our luggage up, and bring us to our hotel. All of this extra service was above and beyond the scope of the original tour but he did it for us anyway. We were so impressed with our experience with GNL, we decided to visit their office in Quito to express our gratitude. We were warmly received by Rodrigo and his staff who treated us more like good friends than customers inviting us to share breakfast and coffee with him. I would highly recommend anyone looking to book a cruise or tour to the Galapagos Islands and/or Ecuador to consider GNL if professional and personalized service as well as a seamless travel experience is important to them.

Unforgettable Memories
We had an unforgettable time because the natural pristine environment unspoiled by humans really sells itself. The most beautiful areas of the world are that way because they have been protected from development. Luckily the Government of Galapagos is doing a good job protecting the special areas. We were met by a driver with a sign, he was as helpful as he could be but unfortunately we cannot speak Spanish, and he could not speak English. He was really nice and kind and helpful. We took a bus from the first Carbon Neutral Airport in the world to a ferry costing a dollar each that took us across the water to a taxi, we stopped at the twin craters, but there was no sign telling us what it was, there was no sign explaining it at the entrance, which would be helpful. We went to El Chato Giant Turtle sanctuary and Lava Caves which was wonderful. Lunch was good but could have been better, a salad would have been nice got the feeling the staff were a bit jaded. Fantastic environment very special. Second day was incredible snorkeling seeing giant turtle, shark, octopus, many exotic fish. I wish more time could have been spent explaining and ensure face mask fit properly. My husband cut his underarms from the life jacket riding up, he kept it on while swimming to protect from sun. Spend plenty of time getting fitted up properly so you can really enjoy snorkeling. Anti fogging for masks would have been useful. lunch cooked by boat staff on both days was incredible, the staff on both snorkeling trips were gracious, kind, informative, and their efforts and attitudes make the trip 5 star. I highly recommend Galapagos Natural Life, all the staff were amazing. Make sure you read up on details on what you are doing each day. Sometimes you have to wait longer than you want but sometimes this is for safety. We stayed in a 'tourist class' hotel which was a hostel. It was sufficient, clean, mostly helpful staff. Breakfast was not so great and the coffee was not good at all. It would have been nice to have access to great coffee at the hotel when we needed it, this was not possible. The a/c was good and the beds were great. We didn't want to spend $ on accommodation but that was our choice. Puerto Ayora is safe, fascinating, interesting. Don't miss the Darwin Research Center. Don't go near wild animals and respect the laws regarding their protection. We were told not to take anything on the first day snorkeling and that everything is provided, so we didn't take any cash, so we couldn't tip the boat staff :(
