TRIPS


Custom tours designed & hosted
by Galápagos natives (some recent examples)

 

Susan B. - This trip was indescribable. We snorkeled with dolphins, sea lions, turtles, rays, and sharks plus the ocean felt like a movie from Finding Nemo. Amy and Walter, thank you so much for sharing your country with me!

Trish W. - ...we had opportunities to meet and experience wonderful people and food and places that the larger cruise-type ventures could never do.

Paul A. - Words truly can’t capture the raw beauty of the Galápagos or the magic of its wildlife. It isn’t just a vacation; it’s a profound adventure that must be experienced to be understood.

Neal L. - The trip was well organized and the communication was exceptional.

Captain Walter's Founder Expedition II - June 2027

NOW BOOKING--Unique all-inclusive small-group Galápagos journeys personally hosted by native GLT founders limited times per year (limited to 10 spots)

Carrie U. - So, let me preface this by saying that I travel *a lot*. I have been to 42 countries. So I hope it means something when I tell you that working with Amy was a real delight. From day one, she was responsive, eager, customer-oriented, and generally just made this whole trip amazing.

She listened carefully to what would suit our family, recommended just the perfect trip, and followed it through in great detail all the way until we landed back in the USA. If you are thinking about that bucket list trip to the Galapagos, trust Amy and Galapagos Local Tours LLC to ensure it lives up to your dream.

Melanie S. - I recently returned from the most incredible trip to the Galapagos Islands, and I can’t say enough about the top-notch service provided by Amy. 


I am an avid traveler and have never used a travel agency but felt a little overwhelmed about planning my Galapagos trip. 


From the moment I first reached out, they exceeded every expectation. It was the best decision I made for my travel plans, and I’ll be recommending them to everyone I know!

Cruise Selection for Santos/Meyer Couple

Aimee J. - (former Education Director, Lincoln Children's Zoo, Nebraska) 


Since our first trip in 2016, I’ve taken groups of students aged 13–24 to the Galápagos Islands, with up to 16 students per trip…Amy and Walter absolutely knocked it out of the park every single time!

What truly sets Amy and Walter apart is their personal touch — they treat you like family, anticipate every need, and ensure every moment counts…Every experience exceeded expectations, and every student came home transformed.
