"The most unprofessional tour. The tour guide was nasty and made us walk miles because she didn't want to pay for transportation. It was not luxurious in the least bit, I would've been better off just going with friends. Save yourself from a horrible trip. Singles International is very professional and a better bet."

What travelers are saying

"It took us two days, four airports to get to the start of our tour and then additional four days to get our luggage. We spent most of days shopping for essentials rather than enjoying our holiday. I had paid £8,000 for this holiday. 1) Travelshere tried to take money out my account twice. I had to contact my bank to get the transaction number to prove to them that I had paid. 2) Three weeks before departure they completely changed our flights ( presumably they got a cheaper deal) 3) Sent to us to wrong terminal for our flight, had to rush over to the right terminal 4) Madrid was snowed under, so the flights were delayed and there was no way we were going to make the connection, so they split the group. The main group was sent direct to destination from London and two couple with Indian names were sent to Madrid, knowing well that they were not going to make the connection. 5) The guide went with the main group and we were left to organise our way to the destination. 6) After four airports, endless queuing and two days we got to our destination ( so we lost two days holidays and the excursion), minus the luggage. No glutton free meals, so my wife traveled long distance without any food. 7) It took five days to get our luggage, so we spent most our spare time shopping for essentials in foreign land with limited local language skills. No help from any one. 8) When I complained, I got this terse letter while I am on holidays. Unfortunately, I can’t copy and paste this letter, which would have conveyed their attitude to whole mess. There were so many issues that I can’t list all of them. Needless to say I shared my experience of this company with my family, friends, work colleagues and fellow travelers."

"Our leader, Massimo, was excellent. Of the trips I've taken with Explore, he spent the most time with time with his group, joining us for all our meals, and sticking with the group throughout. Managing a group of cyclists is like herding cats, and he did an excellent job. His enjoyment of the tour and of the group was authentic, and he was a pleasure have join into our little community. I hope to enjoy another tour with him in the future."

Isabela Island Tour Selection Trips

  • Isabela is one of the main islands visited by tourists to the Galapagos. It is here where you'll discover and learn a lot of cultural and historical context that will be make your journey through the islands more meaningful. 
  • When observing the wildlife, you can get very close, but never, ever attempt to pet, touch, or feed the animals of the Galapagos.
  • Bring sun protection! It will be warm, and you'll be spending a lot of time out on the water and in unprotected areas on land.
  • When packing for the Galapagos, it is a good idea to bring water shoes and a pair of close toed hiking or tennis shoes. Dress in lightweight layers, and avoid cotton materials that absorb sweat rather than let the body breathe.
