Totally loved this trip. It was a great combination of tough backpacking for the first week and more relaxed day hikes on the second week so it was a great blend. The additional activities of the kayak, walking on the glacier and the bike ride were truly awesome. Guides were great, friendly and worked with us all as there were different levels of fitness on our team. The most surprising item for me was the food....both in the hostels and the Cafe's in town. Food in this part of the world is amazing and the choices of the guides were all excellent. Weather for us was not the best, but thats also a part of the adventure. Its a great part of the world to hike and the nature is amazing. I would highly recommend Active as your trek guides.

We were originally scheduled for the Iguana tour with one week in Cusco Peru/ Machu Pichu and one week in the Galapagos. The Cusco part was canceled by Active though the town had reopened by the start of that trip. The GALAKIWI Company provided and excellent trip in the Galapagos. The guides were excellent and they were able to add activities that a part of the 8 to 10 day Galapagos trip. GALAKIWi customer service was excellent. Not sure I can make the same comment about Active's customer service. It was disappointing that Active did not inform GALKIWI of the Cusco cancellation. It would have gone a long way to have this acknowledgement. Even better if Active had provided a personalized note to those participants and a free drink or something. the interactions with Active's sales manager Sam handled were poor and now we feel he outright lied to us. He told us all the people on the Iguana tour had decided to do only the Galapagos portion, this is true if only the 6 of us were doing it but I suspect it was more than 6.
In email you sent to everyone,5 Common Questions, before the trip there were some glaring inaccuracies. On #1 in the email - there was not call or voicemail the day before. In #2 We were not provided a water bottle. Based on this we did not bring water bottles. We had to buy them when we got there. On #5 Tipping - all guides do not have Venmo,
A separate non trip note - your new travel wallet combine with Austin Adventures does not show all the Active trips taken. It show an Austin trip we did in 2010 and the Galapagos

We had a very nice trip to the Galapagos Islands. The activities were fun and varied, the food was great and the hotels clean and cozy. Of course the best things about Active Adventure trips are the guides.....and this trip was no exception. Our Galakiwi guide Paola and local guide Martin were professional, knowledgeable and best of all, fun!

Our guides were excellent in so many ways - multi-talented, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. We ate well and our accommodations were nice. Unfortunately, after participating for 5 fun days with beautiful hikes, several of us got COVID and we were unable to participate in the rest of the trip.
