Galapagos Activities: Hiking, Snorkeling, Diving, Kayaking, Photography

Just a month ago we had the opportunity and the pleasure to join a fantastic group of people in an unforgettable cruise of the Galapagos Islands. Our new friends, Bruce, Pam, Joanie, Donna and Lou were, in simple terms, fantastic. The same applied to our family members, Margarita, Carla, Florencia and Esther, our guide’s wife, who joined the group and contributed with their great enthusiasm and friendliness.

My brother Rod, our Naturalist guide, is just outstanding and knowledgeable, as well as all the crew members who are warm, friendly and very professional. They contributed to make this journey so extraordinary and unforgettable.

We will not tell you everything about this superb Galapagos experience, but we'll share some pictures with you. To our Nemo II guests, we have left space for all comments and photos you may like to share.

"You put together a great trip and I will recommend you to everyone we meet. I'm sure we will get asked about the Galapagos when people see our pictures. Everything, including the city tour, our hotel, the boat and crew was perfect. Please tell Rod he takes great photos. He is a outstanding guide and his knowledge and love of the islands comes through..."

"...I am enjoying looking at my photos and video of your beautiful part of the world. Thank heaven for cameras, that help preserve such beautiful memories... I miss you all and have been trying to tell my family and friends all about you and all that we shared together. It was a wonderful trip and there have been several of my family and friends who have said they'd like to come down... "

"...You can tell Rod loves his work. He's not only a great guide, but a good ambassador for the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. He truly is a very lucky man! We're looking forward to returning to Ecuador and taking the trip down the Amazon. And I'm sure Pam expressed to you how much she wants to go to Machu Picchu... we'll recommend and promote SunWind Travel to all our friends..."
