See how our expertise enhanced these once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
"We were overwhelmed trying to decide between the Inner and Outer loops. Our agent explained that for our interest in flightless cormorants and penguins, the Western itinerary was non-negotiable. They were right—Fernandina Island was the highlight of our lives. They also guided us to a catamaran which was crucial for my husband who gets seasick. The stability made all the difference."
"Traveling with three generations to the Galapagos seemed like a logistical nightmare. This team handled everything—the flights from Quito to Baltra, the transit control cards, and even a private day tour in Quito before we flew out. We felt completely taken care of, and the 'Global Explorers' program on the ship was perfect for our grandkids."
"We almost booked direct, but are so glad we used Vincent Vacations. Because of their 'Preferred Partner' status with the operator, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a significant shipboard credit that covered our wetsuit rentals and gear. Their advice on the 'wet landings' helped us pack the right shoes, which saved our feet!"
