I’m the PP going next week.  We are using Classic Journeys to do a land based tour.  Will definitely report back![/quote]

Just got back from our trip.  It’s truly a remarkable place, totally unspoiled and amazing wildlife.  Loved snorkeling with the sea lions and walking among the giant tortoises in their natural habitat. We did the land based tour on Santa Cruz and Isabella with a day trip to Santa Fe.  We used Classic Journeys.  We didn’t love Classic in terms of planning and communication, but our local guide on the ground was fantastic so overall it was a great experience.

I can’t speak to the cruises, but we definitely got a little seasick on the rides we did and were grateful to sleep on land. The hotels are pretty basic and the water is not safe to drink/brush teeth with, but we loved being able to explore and walk around the islands on our own and we couldn’t have done if we were on a cruise.  Isabella is particularly undeveloped and beautiful.  Would definitely recommend the hotel Iguana Crossing if you go.[/quote]

Totally unspoiled but you snorkeled with sea lions and walked among giant tortoises? Those are things that will spoil the place.

We loved Iguana Crossing too![/quote][/quote]

:roll: Have you actually been there or do you just comment on the travel forum to judge people who travel?  There are very strict rules to protect all of the wildlife and environment that we followed. Unless you shut down all tourism (and the accompanying revenue and fees they collect for conservation efforts), I’m not sure what you would propose.  [/quote]
