Lounging on the decks of the Galapagos LegendAs a child, my sense of belonging in a place came from locating the Big Dipper and charting my relation to it. While living in New Zealand, the Southern Cross became my identifier. When asked about our trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, a certain memory related to stars comes to mind as my favourite. We took one starry evening to relax on the top deck of the Galapagos Legend as one of the naturalist guides pointed out the constellations with a red laser. Reclined in my chair and draped with a blanket, I realized that for the first time in my life, both hemispheres filled the sky. To the left: the northern hemisphere glimmered in the darkness. To the right, the southern. It came as no surprise when, with both of my identifying marks in the sky, I felt completely at home on the equator.
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

We loved our time aboard the Angel. Beautiful boat and crew. Naturalist Jose Luis was incredible-very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He adapted tours to our group and we all had an amazing trip. Love staying a the quaint hacienda and the recommended activities.
