Another top notch Goway experience
Our custom tour of the Galapagos & Machu Picchu went off without a hitch thanks to Goway’s organizational abilities, attention to detail, and contracting with excellent local tour providers - Royal Galapagos in Ecuador & Condor Travel in Peru. Thanks to Michael Rigillo for making our double bucket list itinerary one of our best adventures ever!

Marvelous time in the Galapagos Islands
Just wanted to let you know what a marvelous time we had on our 8-day cruise on the Natural Paradise! The ship was perfectly designed and well laid-out. The crew were fantastic - we were particularly impressed by how quickly they learned all our names and preferences for food/drinks. In addition, all the crew helped out w/ all tasks as needed, especially to ensure we got on and off the panga's safely (even the captain helped!). The food was another highlight - every commented on how good and varied it was; also a different dessert for lunch and dinner for 7 days was particularly impressive! We also appreciated the snacks after each outing, matched to whether we were cold from swimming or hot from hiking. We also loved our cabin and the balcony where we spent many evenings watching the beautiful scenery go by.
James. the naturalist was absolutely outstanding. He managed the group very well, was an excellent resource and teacher, and always put our safety first. I knew that the naturalist would have a big impact on our trip and I don't think we could have found a better professional to guide us for our Galapagos adventure.
Thanks again!

Cruise beyond all our expectations
We have just returned from our trip. It was wonderful.
We would like to thank you and the Royal Galapagos company for the great experience we had during our adventure.
The trip was very well organized, starting from picking us up a the Guayaquil airport and ending with dropping us at the Quito hotel.
The cruise was beyond all our expectations - the gorgeous yacht, amazing cabin, attentive staff, professional crew, our tour guide Roberto, meals and excursions, and overall service.
We were very pleased with our choice, and will definitely recommend you as a trip advisor and the Royal Galapagos to our friends.

Natural Paradise was outstanding
I’m on my way home to Minnesota after a wonderful time in Galapagos!
It was a pleasure to finally meet you, and to learn about Royal Galapagos.
The cruise on Natural Paradise was outstanding! The ship is beautiful, and I really liked my cabin (thank you!)
The shore landings were beyond what I could have imagined. Beautiful, and the experiences were wonderful.
The guide and crew were wonderful, as well. Very professional, taking care of everything, very attentive, and polite.
The Food! I didn’t expect so much fresh salads, and fruit, and all the meals were delicious.
Thank you again for the opportunity to take Natural Paradise! My clients will be very happy with their cruise next year. I also hope we can book other clients with you.
We look forward to working further with Royal Galapagos.
Warm regards,
Linda McCormick

Location Details
The Galapagos Islands are the perfect destination for anyone wanting to get away from real life and truly experience an enchanted place unlike anywhere else in the world.
The Galapagos Islands are a small archipelago located on the equator, about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. The Galapagos are composed of 19 islands as well as many islets and rocks that cover an area of about 17,000 square miles.
The isolated location and environment of the islands have led to the creation of a unique ecosystem you can’t find anywhere else. People have only inhabited the islands for about 150 years meaning the flora and fauna have evolved almost completely independent of human influence.
Most species of plants and animals that call the Islands home can only be found in the Galapagos. Some of the most notable of these animal species include Galapagos Tortoises, Darwin’s Finches, Galapagos Fur Seals, Marine Iguanas, Flightless Cormorants, Galapagos Penguins, and Lava Lizards. During any tour to Galapagos, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with tons of each of these animals as they have no natural fear of humans.
The landscapes of the islands are incredibly breathtaking, you will feel as if you’re on another planet. The natural beauty of these rocky formations are different on every island, your camera will be full by the time your tour ends.
Since the Islands are so young in comparison to other land masses, the living conditions are quite harsh and most volcanoes are very active; the islands are rocky, rugged, beautiful, and something you have to see in person.
The clear blue oceans of the Islands are just as stunning as the surrounding landscapes. Watch the sea lions play inches from your face, gaze at the colorful fish as they move with the water’s currents, and follow the Galapagos sharks as they graze the bottom of the ocean floor.
The Galapagos are a dream destination for science lovers because of Charles Darwin’s famous exploration of the Islands that are known for developing some of his scientific theories. In the early 1800’s, while Darwin was exploring the Islands he made many observations about the wildlife -- mainly tortoises and finches -- that helped him develop his famous Theory of Evolution.
The Galapagos offer so many activities that everyone is able to enjoy. Trek through volcanic rocks, kayak with sea turtles, snorkel with Galapagos penguins, dive with whales, take pictures of crystal clear ocean waters, and escape life as you know it to discover a place unlike anywhere else in the world.
Adventurers from around the globe love coming to the Galapagos to see the endemic species of the islands, the rich turquoise seas full of life, the vibrant beaches, and to disconnect from the world and reconnect with themselves. This once-in-a-lifetime getaway is one that cannot be missed.
