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! :-)

@LucasWorldTravel 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much! It's great to hear that our videos were some of the most helpful. Hope you enjoy the Galapagos as much as we did!

@renatastypulkowski7741 Год назад

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!

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

That's great to hear! Glad the videos were helpful! You're going to love the Galapagos!

@TideKnotTravellers Год назад

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!😂🦭

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

Yes, this sea lion will forever be my favorite Galapagos story. So cute and so random!

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.

@bettymiller44 Год назад

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.

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

Glad it was helpful Betty! Hope you enjoy the islands!

@DensterNY 10 месяцев назад

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 10 месяцев назад

Glad it was helpful! And we’re happy to report you can have a excellent trip completely self guided so happy planning!

@DensterNY 10 месяцев назад

@@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!

Sounds like a great plan Edward! We know you’re going to love it! Happy travels!

@1asset 3 месяца назад

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!

@LucasWorldTravel 3 месяца назад

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!

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!

@clarissamenna412 9 месяцев назад

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!

@LucasWorldTravel 9 месяцев назад

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.

@BeHereTravel Год назад

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

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

Thanks Chris! It's probably because we loved this place so much that it was easy to make a good video for it!

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!

@srgremlin 8 месяцев назад

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?

@LucasWorldTravel 8 месяцев назад

Yes there will be a stop over. That’s normal.

@srgremlin 8 месяцев назад

I see, thank you for clarification! I assume you didn't need to change the plane during the stop over?

@LucasWorldTravel 8 месяцев назад

It depends. Usually you will not leave the plane though.

@ShimritPortal-vw1cy 3 месяца назад

A few days in advance once you get there is fine.

We just hailed one from the city center. You can also schedule one at any travel agency.

@bettymiller44 Год назад

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?

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

In December, it was still a bit cool to us, but we hear it does warm up in January.

@chelseawade4105 Год назад

Is the Galapagos easy to navigate if you don't speak Spanish well??

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

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.
