Thank you for all your explanations! I saw all your videos about Galapagos. I only could find in other videos how much money I have to bring about the fees, but nothing about the tours and food! Yours was complete about everything. Thank you so much!
Wow! You guys have come a long way since learning to swim! Hanging out with turtles, seals and even hammerheads! The Galápagos Islands still remain on our bucket list but when we go we will definitely do a self tour like this. The sea lion who walked into the bar looked like he got served a few too many by the end!😂🦭
My family and I are leaving for Galapagos in less than 2 weeks, and this is my second time watching your video series. They are fantastic (and the best I've found among dozens I've watched about this destination)! Thanks for putting all the time and energy into creating them, and I look forward to diving deeper into the rest of your travels! :-)
Thanks for such an insightful video. You are a great speaker and easy to listen to. I especially like the fact that you put the names of places and restaurants in writing so I can take note of the proper spelling. I am living in Ecuador for the winter and have been debating whether to take an expensive yacht or wing it on my own. After seeing your video, I think I will do it on my own. Best of luck in your upcoming videos.
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I am looking to go to the Galapagos next year and at first I was looking at some eco-tours but they are sooooo expensive. They also seem quite unnecessary when I compare to your itinerary and trip which looks amazing. I'm definitely subscribing and look forward to seeing the rest of your videos.
@@LucasWorldTravel Thank you for showing us how it is done. I wrote down the places you both went to and compared it to one of the eco-tours and they do less than you guys did so I'm definitely going the self-planning route. I like how you two break it down. I'll definitely check out more of your vids for further South/Central American travel. Have a great day!
The seals on the beach were so cute! Especially the little baby ones. Snorkeling looked like it would be super fun and you saw some cool fish. The tortoises were huge! The food looked pretty good too. I really liked the price breakdown at the end - very helpful for people budgeting for their own trips there.
Very nice video😊 My wife and are heading their end of May. Spending two days on San Cristobal then eight days of diving on a live aboard. We’re getting super excited. Loved all the details you provided in your videos. Thanks guys!
Yes!!! I would love to take my kids in the summer of 2024! This video is helpful because I want to do a land base tour and plan it myself instead of the pricey cruises!
I truly enjoyed this one more than any of your other videos. No disrespect to the others but, this was my favorite so far. Probably due to all the wildlife and the uniqueness of the island. Great work
A flight stopover is a small price to pay for all the beauty you get to see on the island. Plus it could be a nice break to book an airport hotel to sleep in a real bed before continuing on to the island. Just trying to look on the bright side of things!
A sea lion, walked into a bar 😳😆 I don't think a lot of people can say they have experienced that! This episode was full of incredible animal encounters and beautiful views. This episode makes us want to visit even more. We appreciate you sharing the expenses, as we have heard it is quite pricey!
No need for jealousy. You’ll get there soon enough. The Galapagos were our best travel experience yet! So it’s definitely worth putting them on the top of your travel to do list.
This is so awesome considering my plans for this year. I am going to do 3 days here solo, and I was thinking I needed to go to other Islands to see the major species. Thank you so much. I really love your energy and vlog style. Subed to see more and keep up with your adventures. - Turtle
What an absolute bucket list destination 🤗 and it looks like it far exceeds expectations! The wildlife is incredible and the colour of the water is beautiful 💙 How amazing it must’ve been to see those turtles in real life! The food at Midori looks delicious! So cool when the sea lion came walking into the texmex restaurant 🤗🥰 Your accommodation looks really nice and spacious 😊
Great job guys! Thank you for all the info. Was it easy to pay for stuff with credit card? Like tours, restaurants and groceries? Thank you one more time!
Tours and groceries are better to pay with cash. Tour companies charge an extra 10% for credit card purchases. Restaurants do take credit cards without extra fees though.
Very helpful information, thank you! I have a question though as it appears you flew from Quito to San Cristobal, but I can't see any direct flights there, only with a stop over. Is that what you did or I'm missing something?
According to the forecast, it shows that everyday is 30C degrees and feels like 36C with humidity. You are both wearing pants and long sleeves. Were you in San Cristobal in January?
Yes! Most people at the travel agencies speak English so we were able to book all of our tours and ferries in English. It's helpful to know some Spanish to talk to taxi drivers though.
The irony of travelling out of interest for animals to the Galapago's just to end up having burgers and stuff made of animals, reminds me of the hypocracy of all the rage for the conflict in Ukraine
Aside from the fact God gave us teeth for eating both meat and vegetables....someone's love for wildlife has nothing to do with what their diet is comprised of.
Hi guys,To receive the Tarjeta de Control de Tránsito, was the Salvo Conducto from the hotel required to be presented at the airport before departing for the Galapagos Islands?

Yes, this sea lion will forever be my favorite Galapagos story. So cute and so random!
Amazing videos. Really complete and well thought through. Thank you
You’re very welcome! Glad our videos were helpful! Enjoy the Galapagos!

Aww! Thanks so much Mike! 🤗. We love this travel lifestyle so it's easy to be authentic. Thanks for watching!
I miss the galapagos sooooo much!!!
We just left two weeks ago and we miss it too!

Greatvideo and information. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the Galapagos!
Great video and very helpful as I'm currently on San Cristóbal island 🙏🏾
Awesome! How are you liking the Galapagos?
The seals on the beach were so cute! Especially the little baby ones. Snorkeling looked like it would be super fun and you saw some cool fish. The tortoises were huge! The food looked pretty good too. I really liked the price breakdown at the end - very helpful for people budgeting for their own trips there.
Leaving in a bit over a week to travel around San Cristobal island and this video made me so excited! Thanks for breaking everything down so well :)
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the Galapagos!
Very nice video😊
My wife and are heading their end of May. Spending two days on San Cristobal then eight days of diving on a live aboard. We’re getting super excited. Loved all the details you provided in your videos. Thanks guys!
Sounds like a great plan Edward! We know you’re going to love it! Happy travels!
Thanks for the great content and even bigger thanks for sharing costs and keeping us fellow budget travellers in mind!
Happy to share! Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the Galapagos!
Yes!!! I would love to take my kids in the summer of 2024! This video is helpful because I want to do a land base tour and plan it myself instead of the pricey cruises!
Awesome! Happy planning! Hope you guys love the Galapagos as much as we did. More guides to come next week!
Love your videos. So much practical information. & I love your enthusiasm. Looking forward to planning our Galapagos trip. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! You’re going to love the Galapagos!
Wow! the nature is so beautiful and I adore this beautiful life you 2 are creating for yourselves
Thanks Tinesha! It really has been a dream!
I truly enjoyed this one more than any of your other videos. No disrespect to the others but, this was my favorite so far. Probably due to all the wildlife and the uniqueness of the island. Great work
Thanks Chris! It's probably because we loved this place so much that it was easy to make a good video for it!
@@LucasWorldTravel I really wanna work with you guys in a cool location one day. "Couple's Work Retreat" 😉
@@BeHereTravel That would be awesome! We're up for that. Let us know if you have a location in mind.
@@LucasWorldTravel We're moving to Florida if there's anything there you're interested in.
@@BeHereTravel Cool, I'm keep you posted when we are back in the States. We're still in South America currently.
you guys are so sweet! thank you for the videos! my issue isnt what to do but how to get there (SFO to san cristobal). flight stopovers are INSANE!
A flight stopover is a small price to pay for all the beauty you get to see on the island. Plus it could be a nice break to book an airport hotel to sleep in a real bed before continuing on to the island. Just trying to look on the bright side of things!
A sea lion, walked into a bar 😳😆 I don't think a lot of people can say they have experienced that!
This episode was full of incredible animal encounters and beautiful views.
This episode makes us want to visit even more. We appreciate you sharing the expenses, as we have heard it is quite pricey!
If only I was a better comedian. I know Kevin Hart could make a full hour worth of jokes if he experienced a sea lion walking into a bar.
@@LucasWorldTravel 😆🤣
Thank you for sharing!
That was wonderful. Thank you.
Happy to share! Enjoy the Galapagos!
Hey world travelers! Are the Galapagos on your travel wish list? Let us know your travel plans in the comments below!
I'm so jealous! This trip looked amazing!
No need for jealousy. You’ll get there soon enough. The Galapagos were our best travel experience yet! So it’s definitely worth putting them on the top of your travel to do list.
This is so awesome considering my plans for this year. I am going to do 3 days here solo, and I was thinking I needed to go to other Islands to see the major species. Thank you so much. I really love your energy and vlog style. Subed to see more and keep up with your adventures. - Turtle
Awesome to hear Turtle! And yes you can see most species right here on San Cristobal. It really was one of our favorite islands.
@@LucasWorldTravel Awesome. So excited. It is #3 on my bucket list.
Thank you! This was very informative!
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy the Galapagos!
What an absolute bucket list destination 🤗 and it looks like it far exceeds expectations! The wildlife is incredible and the colour of the water is beautiful 💙
How amazing it must’ve been to see those turtles in real life!
The food at Midori looks delicious!
So cool when the sea lion came walking into the texmex restaurant 🤗🥰
Your accommodation looks really nice and spacious 😊
Yes! This spot was so awesome! It definitely was our best travel experience yet!
nice Budget not only for foreigner people but ecuadorians...welcome !
Yes we were surprised how much you can do on a budget in the Galapagos. It’s so worth visiting!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤wooow...i have heard about this island in my biology lessons...evolution...you are so lucky
Yes, these islands are truly fascinating!
Beautiful videos
Great job guys! Thank you for all the info. Was it easy to pay for stuff with credit card? Like tours, restaurants and groceries? Thank you one more time!
Tours and groceries are better to pay with cash. Tour companies charge an extra 10% for credit card purchases. Restaurants do take credit cards without extra fees though.
that great, it will help me for sure.
Great to hear! Enjoy the Galapagos!
nice one, well done and thumbs up 👍🙏💯
Thank you! Cheers!
Very helpful information, thank you! I have a question though as it appears you flew from Quito to San Cristobal, but I can't see any direct flights there, only with a stop over. Is that what you did or I'm missing something?
Yes there will be a stop over. That’s normal.
I see, thank you for clarification! I assume you didn't need to change the plane during the stop over?
It depends. Usually you will not leave the plane though.
How do you order the taxis? Thx
We just hailed one from the city center. You can also schedule one at any travel agency.
what month did you go on your trip?
This was in December.
Do you recommend booking ahead online for the ferries or we can just book there few days in advanced?
A few days in advance once you get there is fine.
Thank you.
According to the forecast, it shows that everyday is 30C degrees and feels like 36C with humidity. You are both wearing pants and long sleeves. Were you in San Cristobal in January?
In December, it was still a bit cool to us, but we hear it does warm up in January.
❤
How were you not afraid of the sharks!
Those sharks are not dangerous to humans so no we weren’t scary. They were pretty impressive to see though.
@@LucasWorldTravel I saw a video where a game head was trying to attack someone's kayak. It was relentless...
Is the Galapagos easy to navigate if you don't speak Spanish well??
Yes! Most people at the travel agencies speak English so we were able to book all of our tours and ferries in English. It's helpful to know some Spanish to talk to taxi drivers though.
🥰
The irony of travelling out of interest for animals to the Galapago's just to end up having burgers and stuff made of animals, reminds me of the hypocracy of all the rage for the conflict in Ukraine
We’re vegetarian so I don’t know what you are talking about.
Aside from the fact God gave us teeth for eating both meat and vegetables....someone's love for wildlife has nothing to do with what their diet is comprised of.
many many animals are carnivores and arent conflicted about it. you do you.
Hi guys,To receive the Tarjeta de Control de Tránsito, was the Salvo Conducto from the hotel required to be presented at the airport before departing for the Galapagos Islands?
No, I don’t remember doing this and we stayed at an Airbnb so we definitely didn’t need special paperwork from a hotel.
@@LucasWorldTravel Thanks for the answer, very useful information👍
