(Originally published 01/23/2025) Your favorite sister duo chats with this week’s guest about the wondrous and magical place 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador: the Galapagos Islands. This episode covers recommendations for the three inhabited (and most often visited) islands of San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, and Isabela, and how it’s possible to plan a trip independently, apart from a live-aboard cruise. You’ll get recommendations on amazing hikes, beaches, and must-do tours to get the most immersive experience. Plus, hearing stories about the endless amounts of Galapagos wildlife (giant tortoises, sharks, penguins, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, sea horses, and more!) will inspire you to book your trip ASAP.

Galapagos Recommendations:

San Cristobal - Information Center, Leon Dormido (Kicker Rock) Tour

Santa Cruz - fish market, Charles Darwin Research Station, Tortuga Bay, Highlands Tour to Los Gemelos and Giant Tortoise Preserve

Isabela - Las Tintoreras Kayak Tour (Penguins!), Los Tuneles
