    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 😀.

    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.

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Год назад +1

      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!

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  8 месяцев назад +1

      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.

    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.

    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?

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Год назад

      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.
