No time to snore in La Rabida Hostal much upon arrival, so we were glad we had come in last evening instead of the midnight flight: The Adventure-Life escort had us up at 5am to take us to a plane to Baltra, Galapagos, via Guayquil. Magic islands. Baltra is barren, but a quick drive took us to ferries across to Santa Cruz, the a drive over the highlands and settle at Red Mangrove right next to the Darwin Institute. Rest, then a wonderful meal. No time to shop, but I did get to use my bad Spanish a bit walking around hunting cash machines and pharmacies. Oh yes! snorkeling, too!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
