Callie's Ecuador Adventure!

Hiking on Santiago Island
Hiking on Santiago Island
My first trip with Adventure Life took me to the Bella Vista Cloud Forest and the Galapagos Islands, two completely different destinations that allowed me to get up-close and personal with the wildlife. I spent my day in Bella Vista hiking through the lush forest, and spent my days aboard the Galapagos Petrel swimming next to sea lions and admiring dolphins from the deck!

We arrived at Bella Vista after three hours of pleasant conversation and changing landscape. My first …

Upon boarding we were greeted with fresh juice and a warm snack, something that I quickly became used to as we were offered food and a drink each time we returned from …

Birds of Genovesa Island
Bird lovers unite! Today we visited Genovesa Island, one of the best islands in the Galapagos for bird watching. We strolled through a white-sand beach path brimming with nazca boobies, red-footed boobies, swallow-tailed gulls, frigates and storm petrels. We were also greeted by several lazy sea lions lounging on the beach.

We had our first …

The Best Day in Paradise
Today was undoubtedly my favorite day of the cruise. We awoke in James Bay to Martin’s timely wakeup call and beautiful blue skies outside our cabin windows. The crew assembled us on the outer deck to dress for snorkeling and we set out, encountering not only fish but also sea lions, sharks AND sea turtles! Absolutely incredible.

We …
