Probably a bit of a stretch for a forum about the west. We are forming plans for a big trip for our 30th (still more than a year away). Thought we would ask anyway - anyone been there, done that? Would like to hear any advice you have to share.
Thanks.

A friend of mine did Linblad which is probably the same as Nat Geo. She loved it and it is on my bucket list

Mr. Ted, We did that 1992 and going back this year! I would prefer a small group size. Overseas Adventure Travel does trips. We have not traveled with them but know people that have and keep traveling with the company. We are taking a photo trip with 14 people group size, small ship, 14 days.

Sorry for the delay returning to this. Thanks for the responses. Yes, a dream trip for sure, and not one we'll be likely to do again. So good for you, Patrick, for being able to make a return trip. We have the Nat Geo and Linblad info. Forgot about OAT, will have to get their promo info also. Andy, about the best we can do taking time off work is three weeks. Probably about 10 days of that will actually be in the Galapagos.

Just a couple of other companies I just thought of to broaden the options and pricing. REI Adventures Travels and Wilderness Travels.
