This really is a special trip, due in no small part to Jewel and the team she assembled. The Galapagos are essentially perfectly preserved and have this Garden of Eden element to them. The wildlife, Sea Life and the islands are special in an unexpected way - unexpected because you've never seen anything like them. To be able to share the same space as Sea Turtles, Marine Iguanas, Penguins, Frigate Birds, Land Iguanas, Oyster Catchers, an occasional small Reef Shark, Blue footed Boobies, etc. is an incomparable experience that we'll treasure forever.
Cultured travel again, smartly engages the best facilities and academic experts to deliver an amazing experience. It occurred to me some time ago that for someone like Jewel (and Matt) to think of so many details and make every single element of a trip run so seamlessly and comfortably, they have to have real compassion for people in order to anticipate what would make the experience a deeper one, better, smoother, amazing, and a lasting memory. They know that through more personalized effort, they can ensure a traveler's time on their trips is an experience of a lifetime. Putting aside all that they do for their trips, I can say from having been in their company for many hours now, the world needs more people like Jewel and Matt. So, yeah, this is the trip and this is the travel company to choose.
