    Thank you for another amazing Galapagos video. I think at this rate I might just follow your itinerary nearly step by step next year when I go. Amazing! Thanks again.

    Wow it's so nice island that's my dream. I enjoy your vlog I watched it over and over again. I'm dreaming I could reach too but for now it's impossible for having crisis in financial... I'm 64 already but still I'm dreaming that one day it becomes reality🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

      Most restaurants have at least one or two vegetarian options. Some have vegan options as well. We didn't have any problems finding something.

    Definitely, comprehensive reviews that I have watched for Galapagos! Planning a trip this April. Your suggestions for vegeterian options are really appreciated! Question - is it possible to book a tour from one island for future days planned on another? We are on a 5-6 day itinerary and plan to cover 2 islands and were thinking of optimizing the time on the day when we hop.

    • @LucasWorldTravel

      We personally don't know about that, but I'm sure it's possible. Just ask the tour office where you book your first tour.

    Seems like a great adventure there. And I always love a good budget friendly video!! There were so many turtles there. Your lunch and dinner looked great and that street seemed to be a happening place. The Bahia Bay tour looked awesome as well. So much bird poop at the end 🤣

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  2 года назад

      Yep it was bird poop rock! Makes bird watching so much easier. They clearly mark where they are. 😂

    Wow, those tours are so expensive 😮
    Yay for using a map, we sometimes try and navigate around without gps, makes it quite exciting 😊
    Your tour at the research centre looked really informative!
    All your food looked delicious, the restaurant with the sea view seems amazing 😍
    So interesting about the cacti with the bark!
    Tortuga Bay is amazing and so glad you saw a hammer head shark, so cool!!!
    Love all the wildlife and how iguanas is the cause of your traffic jam 😅🤗

    Great episode you two! I really like that visitors get a safety briefing when going to Tortuga Bay.
    The information about why the Tortugas have such long necks was very interesting!
    We really appreciate the cost break down 💲💲

    I’ve enjoyed watching all your Galapagos island videos, thank you… I was wondering did you meet many solo travellers while you were there please? I’m hoping to do this trip when I’ve saved some pennies. I’m just hoping you don’t need to be in twos to get on trips etc. many thanks and happy travels 👍🏻

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Год назад

      We met maybe two solo travelers. So it is possible to do this solo. All the rates we quoted are per person.

      Here’s a link! Just know the WiFi here is unreliable. We didn’t have WiFi for 2 out of 3 days but this is also not unusual for the Galapagos. abnb.me/FjU7Jen3Owb

  • @KeithBennett-t1w
    @KeithBennett-t1w Год назад

    Thanks for the video tour. Can you describe the specifics of needing a guide? When a guide is needed, do you have to wait at all? Or is guidance given before you proceed into the park/area on your own?

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Год назад

      You only need a guide for the boat tours and to see the turtle sanctuary. You can book the guide right before you go inside the turtle sanctuary. You don’t need a guide to explore the rest of the island though.

    If you had to choose between Cristobal or Santa cruz which one would you recommend? I like that Cristobal has the airport closer to town but I am a solo traveler and don't mind the night life of Santa cruz. Also hearing Crostobal is more quiet..which has more overall beauty? Thanks in advance

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  3 месяца назад

      If you’re only going to do one, San Cristobal 100%! It was our favorite of all the islands. The city center is a bit noisy as well so bring ear plugs.
