What amazing video. I was your guide in the tintoreras bay tour. Thanks for visit us . my dad had the octopus 😅😅😅🐙❤
Well thanks for being a great guide! We had a great time as you can tell! Your father was hilarious with the octopus!
I get a sabbatical from work in a few years and the Galapagos are at the top of my list!
Awesome! You’re going to love it! How long is your sabbatical? Are you a professor?
Delightful touring with you, love your laidback style!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Enjoy the Galapagos!
Wow guys, this was such a fun episode! I love all the footage of the animals. You saw so many turtles 💕 I can't believe you saw shark and octopuses...or is that octopi?
That sea lion that was on the boardwalk that just let you walk by it 😆🤣
All of the food you tried looked so good!
Ha! I’m going with octopuses. And you haven’t really lived until you’ve stepped over an octopus or two! Fun times!
@@LucasWorldTravel 😆🤣
We loved watching this episode, such amazing animals and you are both so inspiring! I didn't know the Galapagos island were so amazing! I just love you guys! 🤗
Yes the Galapagos have been our favorite travel destination so far. It’s such a special place and definitely lives up to the hype! Happy travels until next time!

Thank you! great video and love the vibe!
Love this video! So jealous of everything you got to see on your snorkelling experience, that shark den looked quite scary though 😅 glad we got to see you two in those cute wetsuits as well 😅
The crater on your hike is incredible, wow!!
Aww, the turtles are so cute 🥰
Ooh, Galapagos beer…Craig would love to add it to his beer bucket list 😅
Your snorkelling guide looks like quite a character 🐙
Lol, lazy sea lions, so cute! Concha Perla seems like an amazing spot!
Wine, tapas, beautiful sunset…perfect way to end your stay on Isabela 🤗
Great video you guys!

Such a beautiful island!! I miss snorkeling so much!!
So great - thanks for putting this together! We're planning our trip now (will be there in a couple weeks) and this helped solidify some of our ideas. Great video!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy Isabela as much as we did!
Another lovely video that makes me long for (more) travel 💜

That's an impressive video . Absolutely stunning views !
Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you enjoy Isabela too!
Went to Galapagos in July…the best experience of my life!
Agreed! It’s my favorite travel destination!
Horseback riding tour of Siena Negra Volcáno on Isabela island is another wonderful option see Galloping Galápagos if interested at Pink Iguana Beach Bar 🦎
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing 🤩🐢🏝️
nice video - cheers
Thanks for this and the other galapogos videos, it really helped us plan our trip. For the record when you are sitting at Casa Marita doing the selfie video at Casa Marita, that's our room in the background!
Nice! It looked like a nice place to stay. Glad we got to experience it for happy hour!
Terima kasih udah berbagi pengalaman anda
Wow that is a massive crater! Didn't realize it was that deep - what a hike. I could go for that veggie burger - I'm usually a fan of veggie burgers. I'd love to go to that turtle centre and see the baby iguanas too. But maybe not the sharks 🤦♀Can't believe that octopus got him! Great price breakdown.
Thanks Sara! You would quickly get used to swimming with sharks here. It's not as scary as you think.
Hello my adventurous friends living my dream! Fabulous Galapagos! We did a boat cruise there in 2010. Seems so long ago. We didn't step on Isabella Island, but we snorkeled off Volcano Ecuador. Love your underwater footage - the sharks would have me going the other way - Lol. Great hike and scenes captured. Nice happy hour - looked good. So much to see on the big island. I remember the turtles are different on each island, as with many other animals - which Darwin didn't realize until he was back in England. Well done, my friends 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time in the Galapagos - if you are still there 😀.
Thanks Jim! Glad you got to experience the Galapagos for yourself. It’s such a special place!
How did you find the actual town on Isabela Island? Restaurants and bars? Gracias
@iguanapolo The town is small and very chill. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. We shared our favorites in the video.
I’m headed there May 4th. Initially I wasn’t going but you videos convinced me to seize the moment!!
Which go pro are you guys using and is the water that clear. I never have good underwater shots with my Hero8.
We’ve used to have the GoPro 8 too. Now we have GroPro 10. We liked both models. And the yes the water was clear when we were there in December. The best time to book for water clarity is December-May so try to schedule your trip during that time.
Hi there~ Thanks for the awesome video!!!
I'm planning a trip to the Galapagos probably around mid January and it seems to be a peak time then. Would you advice to book trips in advance during the peak season or it's still alright to walk in and book a day in advance in person? Thank you!
We didn’t have any trouble booking one day in advance. Just have multiple days to work with so if a tour is not available one day, you can go the next.
@@LucasWorldTravel Thank you so much for your reply!!!
Great video! Did you rent your wetsuits there or travel with them?
We rented our wetsuits there. It costs $5 a day for the short suit and $10 a day to rent the long wetsuit.
Hey there! We are headed to the Galapagos in 10 days! We are going to Santa Cruz and Isabela. Your videos have been very helpful! The tour prices you are quoting on Isabela are a,or less expensive than the quotes we’re getting for booking before we go. For instance, $55-60 for Sierra Negra, and $150 for Los Tuneles. Did you book ahead or take your chances and book when you got there?
We booked when we got there. At the agency I showed in the video. I think it was called Dive Galapagos.
Thank you! You went Dec. 22? And you didn’t have any problems with availability?
@@christinabrennan9706 No problems. We were able to book everything once we arrived.
@@christinabrennan9706 Correct! We went December 2022 and had no problems with availability.
Hate to correct you however they are Tortoises at the Breeding Center not Turtles. Cheers Claudia
Did you have to go back to Santa Cruz to go to San Cristobal or is it possible to go from Isabela to Santa Cruz directly?
Everything connects in Santa Cruz. So yes you can go Isabela to Santa Cruz directly, but you can not go directly from Isabela to San Cristobal.
Is there an age limit for the ferry?? We are going and my little one won’t be 2yrs old yet!
Unfortunately we don’t know that one. You can contact one of the local travel agencies to find out.
who's here after reading wish you were here??? 🥺
what month were you there?
Early December, however we think mid-late December would be even better.
thank you- why is late december better?
@@letsgoplaces577 Because the water tempeture is warmer, the weather is more sunny, and the water is bit clearer as well.
