why our guests choose golden
EXCELLENT Based on 32 reviews Posted on Google Soumya SahooTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow...wow...wow! That's what comes to my mind when I think of the Galapagos trip that we did with Golden Galapagos. From the start of our trip, the company took care of everything as promised. We were picke up from hotel, escorted in airport with personal assitance, after landing at San Cristobal island was picked up by guide and transferred to the yacht. Next one week was heaven! Everyday there was new thing to explore, new species to see. We were greeted on the first day by blue footed boobies dancing and mating. What a way to start our journey! Then the sea turtles, giant turtles, marine iguanas, land iguanas, plenty of fishes, Penguins, Sharks, Sea lions, magnificient frigate birds, nazka boobies, dolphins, Sally lightfoot crabs, flamingoes and many more! The guide and crew were so amazing that they gave us confidence that we can do snorkeling with life jackets even though we don't know how to swim and that was one of the best thing of our lives to see creatures under water so close. The food and hospitality was amazing. Everyday there will be a new menu and the chef will be at the counter to explain and serve us personally. The bartender had smile all the time on his face. I can probably write an essay on this :-) but I would try not to! If you are still thinking to make this dream vacation...go for it! you will not regret a single moment.Posted on Google Nancy LouisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OMG. Oh My Galapagos OMG. Oh my Galapagos!!! I had been to Galapagos 27 years ago. And that was a fantastic trip. This trip was even better!!! The ocean spray boat. Fabulous Crew FABULOUS. Javier was our guide and naturalist He took us to the best spots on each island. We had jam packed full days of snorkeling and hiking. My group consisted of me (70 year old woman in decent shape until this trip. - i had a sciatica attack 3 weeks before going. But i went. In pain) My 80 year old sister (her 80th birthday present) with Parkinson's And my i50 year old niece and her husband. Lol Im thinking the crew was very apprehensive upon seeing us board the boat. But they ALL. Went above and beyond in taking care of us Javier in particular helped my sister snorkeling and kayaking When we got back from snorkeling each day. They helped us remove our wet suits AND. Wrapped us in WARM towels. Amazing The food was top notch. Great variety and amazed at the amount of seafood they served But they also went out of tgeir way to accommodate special requests. Vegetarians. And non fish eaters I should have gained 5 lbs. but the hour snorkelPosted on Google Nancy MItchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing experience! The scenery and wildlife was so beautiful and the crew was exceptional!Posted on Google Drew FineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. See detailed review at trip advisor. Absolutely the best experience with themPosted on Google Drew FineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Most amazing experience with golden Galápagos. Can’t recommend enough. Detailed review on trip advisor. Vladimir wa a great trip cooridnatorPosted on Google Gal BincovichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we couldn’t be more satisfied! A huge thank you to Vladi Cruz, our main contact throughout the planning and booking process. He was professional, responsive, and always available to answer questions and tailor the trip to our needs. Gabriela Panata was also wonderful and helpful throughout—together they made sure every detail was taken care of. Our itinerary included an incredible cruise aboard the M/C Endemic in the Galapagos Islands—luxurious, well-run, and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also spent time at the La Selva Eco Lodge in the Amazon rainforest, which was absolutely magical and gave us a deep appreciation for the region’s biodiversity and natural beauty. Thanks to Golden Galapagos, Vladi, and Gabriela, our journey through Ecuador was seamless, enriching, and completely worry-free. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Ecuador or the Galapagos Islands—you’ll be in the best hands!Posted on Google Julie JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a trip of a lifetime! Everyone was superb! Vladimir was always in touch and organized everything seamlessly. The elite was amazing! Our room was large and we loved the balcony. Morris was the most amazing naturalist! Cant say enough great things about him. We saw so many amazing animals and learned so much. The hikes were amazing! Andreas was so wonderful! The entire crew worked so hard and were always there to help! There was more food than imaginable and was delicious! Can not recommend enough!Posted on Google Eric IntroligatorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OMG, where to begin. From Booking (w Vladimir) through the very end, Golden Galapagos was amazing. Booking. Vlad was great from initial contact and following through on every detail of the booking. This included arranging hotels and transportation before and after our cruise. He helped us select our cabin(s). Traveling with an 11 year old, we were able to secure 2 adjacent cabins instead of one larger cabin with an extra bed. The smaller cabin for our daughter was perfect and having 2 bathrooms instead of one was a great choice for us. Never a concern about our daughter being alone next door. The cruise was amazing. We could want for nothing since arriving in Baltra til the day we left San Cristobal. The crew were awesome and we have no idea when they slept. They were all caring and fun. The Boat Accommodations were perfect. Plenty of spots to be alone or congregate with our fellow travelers. Food was perfect and our daughter ate everything. From Snorkeling Gear to hot towels and snacks every time we came back to the boat, this was 5 star! Our Guide, Harry, who was with us the entire time, was wonderful. He is separate from the crew and almost like the conductor of a train. He kept us on time with excellent narration everywhere we went. He was great with my wife (who does not like open water) making sure she was happy with her "Ring of Happiness" and basically towed her around everywhere we snorkeled. The marine life and all the animals on the islands were beautiful. We took thousands of pictures between the 3 of us. March was a great time for us to visit. We only had one real rough seas night coming around the south side of Isabela Island. One or two nights of rough seas is to be expected and we understand summer time is even more rough seas. Golden Galapagos and the Ocean Spray are absolutely the best. Highly recommend them for this bucket list trip!Posted on Google Michael RoeserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sad that one factor had such a negative impact on our 1 week cruise. We were in Cabin 5 and all was well on the first night until about midnight when the engines were started. In addition to the exceptionally loud sound, the bed, windows, ceiling and door to the bathroom vibrated so that sleep was impossible even with earplugs. It was so bad that the woman across the passageway from us, who was on a 2 week cruise, had to go to the top deck to sleep on a couch. When we brought this to the company’s attention after the cruise we got the usual “nobody else has complained.” Impossible to believe since the noise was the topic of conversation the first morning and many mornings after that. Too bad that the sales agents, in this case Chris, failed to advise us when booking of this issue.Posted on Google N YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just came home off the Ocean Spray. We had a fabulous journey. The staff all worked really hard to make sure everyone’s needs were met and made sure they did everything they could to assure we were having a fabulous trip. Roberto was a true professional with warmth and he always went the extra mile. From the Captain to the deck hands and everyone in between all worked together, they made it seem effortless even though we knew it wasn’t easy. In the end we all felt like family. Loved the little treats every time we came back to the ship.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
