Up at 7:00 A.M. Breakfast then ready in pangas by 8 am for a wet landing on a sandy beach. We walked a short distance to brackish lagoon and saw 8 pink flamingos. We watched them for a bit and just enjoyed the scenery and got to know everyone a bit better. Then we headed back to the beach to snorkel. Saw marine iguanas and sally light foot crabs. Snorkeling in sandy rough surf was fun and while we had low visibility under water, we still managed to see schools of bait fish, a large school of yellow tailed surgeonfish and a ray. We were back on the boat by 11 ish. We hung out on top deck awaiting lunch and enjoying the views. One of the nicest parts of this trip was that there were never more than two other boats in sight and rarely did we even see other groups. You really felt that you were some place special.
Afternoon
North Seymour island, We went deep water snorkeling against the cliffs. The tide was strong but manageable and the guides did a great job of - well, guiding us. As soon as we got in we saw a school of about 15 spotted eagle rays. The water was on the cooler side and my wet suit did the trick. We saw lots of big fish and then at least 10 white tip reef sharks and a sea lion. On the way back to the boat we saw other sharks. Not sure why, but seeing sharks wasnt scary, quite the opposite. If I saw a shark while at the beach in NC, that's another story.
We changed and went back on North Seymour for a hike. We saw land iguanas, lots of birds, the magnificent frigate bird, yellow warbler, sea lion pups, heron, blue footed boobies, spiders and lizards.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
