We have just returned from the Silver Galapagos North Central itinerary. Here is our review:
Overall experience: The overall experience of these islands was outstanding! Definitely one of our top 5 trips. It is a rare experience to visit islands where the wildlife is completely unafraid and even inquisitive of you as you embark onto their land. I am not really a cruise person either (I don't like to feel "stuck" or "cooped up"), but I don't see how we could have done this trip any other way. It was very convenient to be on a ship as we visited two islands per day most days. The naturalists are very knowledgeable. We saw all kinds of wildlife closer than I ever thought we could get to them. We could have touched them, but of course that is not allowed. We saw giant tortoises, sealions, iguanas, lizards, boobies, frigates, finches, mocking birds, a penguin, sea turtles, sharks, rays, ..all kinds of fish.
