HI Peter & Trudy,
Thank you so much for your review and valuable feedback on the tours you've taken with us. I'm so happy you enjoyed an overall amazing experience with us in the charming Galápagos Islands. Kicker Rock was supposed to be a highlight, but sorry El Niño affected that. In general, I'm happy you rated most of our tours and services 5 stars. Warms our hearts.
Enjoy the rest of your trip in South America, and I hope to see you again in Ecuador.
Best wishes,
Tamer

We couldn't have been happier with the travel plans laid out by Maria Belen and supported by Ana Maria. Every aspect of our journey was expertly handled, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in our vacation without any logistics stress.

• Seamless Execution: The accommodations selected for us were absolutely excellent. Behind the scenes, the coordination was completely seamless—our guides always met us right on time, and every single transfer went perfectly.

• Enriching Experiences: Our guided tour of Quito was a massive highlight. It was incredibly interesting and educational, giving us a deep appreciation for the vibrant culture and the fascinating historical transformation of Ecuador.

• Phenomenal Support: What truly blew us away was their responsiveness. When we had an urgent request to arrange an air taxi transfer service, Maria Belen and Ana Maria jumped right on it and handled the logistics flawlessly.

💡 A Quick Tip for Fellow Travelers:
While completely out of KimKim's control—as Mother Nature always has the final say—the public speedboat and taxi transfers between the islands can be VERY choppy and a highly unpleasant experience if you are prone to motion sickness. We highly suggest considering the airplane taxi transfers instead. Not only is it a smoother ride, but it also provides a stunning, unique aerial perspective of the islands' geological makeup!

Overall, we cannot say enough how much we enjoyed this experience and appreciated their expert guidance. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a perfectly tailored, stress-free adventure!

Nice accommodation and located oceanside, which was great!

Just FYI for travelers, is that Puerto Villamil is definitely a smaller, less developed town.

Alejandro stands out for his ability to manage so many different groups at one time. Without him we had been hard pressed to make it to the Galapagos. His crew (especially his son Sabastion was so entertaining the trip to the airport (45 minutes) passed in no time. Everyone was so prompt.
Paola went above and beyond, joining us for a dinner after hours and sharing wonderful information.

Tours on the island took us to places I wanted to see: blue footed boobies, and wonderful snorkeling opportunities.

She was very helpful with making sure that activities were not beyond their physical limitations in their older age, took great care to arrange fantastic accommodations for us, guides were some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met anywhere on earth, and were always ready for us whenever we were to be on our way. If we had any questions, she was quick to answer ie helping when we lost a passport and when our guide had a flat tire. The hike to the sulfur mine was a great trek, we absolutely loved the kayaking experience, and I cannot say enough how much I personally loved all of the snorkeling. I intend to book with her again when we come back for a much longer adventure next time!

Spacious rooms with great AC, comfy beds, wonderful staff, and a great procedure with room keys when you step out. The hot/cold water in the shower is VERY temperamental and the breakfast was a touch limited in selections, but it was certainly tasty and filling nonetheless. I would stay again here next trip!
