What makes this company so special is the guide, Rafael Pesantes. He is a 3rd generation Galapagoan with an encyclopedic knowledge of the islands. He truly made the trip special and I can't imagine having a better guide.
This trip is easily one of the top three trips of my life. From the very beginning, Rafa and Vivi made the entire process seamless. I cannot recommend them highly enough — if you are considering a Galápagos adventure, this is the team you want.
We had the best experience with Beyond Galapagos. All details were taken care of so all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. I have no hesitation in recommending Beyond Galapagos for all your Galapagos needs.
It was the best trip we have EVER been on! RAFA our naturalist is one of a kind. His depth of knowledge, his understanding and most importantly his ability to teach and deliver that information is unsurpassed.
Rafa and the entire Beyond Galapagos team made the experience adventurous, curated, private, and intimate. I went with many high expectations of what I would experience, and they exceeded them all!
Beyond Galapagos was amazing to work with. Our itinerary was full of amazing tours. These ladies work hard so you get the best experience of their country. Very pleased.
