Everything We Had Hoped For
We truly enjoyed everything that was booked for us. We saw every animal we could have hoped for. From penguins, to turtles, to sea lions, and everything in between.
This was the best honeymoon because...
We used Anywhere for our Costa Rica honeymoon and just loved the experience so much we used it again for our trip to the Galapagos. We saw every animal we could have hoped for. From penguins, to turtles, to sea lions, and everything in between. Our guide knew where to find the animals and made sure we saw every shark and blue-footed booby.
The absolute highlight of this vacation was...
Isabela was my favorite island! It was nice to be able to do the kayaking tour with just the two of us and the guide. We saw many animals and even got a penguin to swim next to us. What an incredible experience! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and so nice to talk with. The lava tunnel tour was amazing, and our guide, Carlos, helped us take great photos in beautiful locations. He even shared some of his better photos with us to take home as souvenirs.
The reason why I’ll plan a trip like this again...
Our accommodations were wonderful. At Hotel Solymar, our balcony overlooking the ocean was beautiful. At La Casa de Marita, we liked that the beach was just outside and we could even see sea lions up-close. The view outside was stunning, and the room was very spacious. We definitely recommend having Anywhere.com arrange everything for you.
Places you'll stay
Quito
Set an elevation of 9,350 ft (2,850 m), Quito is the highest capital city in the world. The population of this bustling city is a contrasting mix of Ecuadorians sporting sleek business suits and colorful indigenous clothing. These contrasts exemplify the mix of politics, history and culture that define Quito. Founded in the 16th century atop the ruins of an Inca city, Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a premier destination for those visiting Ecuador.
Destination
Santa Cruz
The island of Santa Cruz is the visitor hub of the Galápagos. As the second-largest island in the Galápagos, Santa Cruz is characterized by its moist highlands region, the bustling town of Puerto Ayora, and several pristine beaches.
Destination
Isabela
As the largest island in the Galápagos, Isabela offers the widest range of terrain and visitor sites in the archipelago. Isabela hosts impressive wildlife, white-sand beaches, and barren lava fields. This island has the largest population of wild tortoises, which can be seen roaming in the highlands near the rims of craters. Isabela is the closest island to the Galápagos volcanic hotspot and is thus the most volcanically active island in the archipelago. It has six shield volcanos dispersed across its 1,790 square mile (4,640 square km) landscape.
Destination
Baltra Island
For most visitors, Baltra Island’s scrubby, arid landscape is their first look at the Galápagos. This island has the main airport in the Galápagos, and serves as the departure point for cruise ships.
