galapagos

Intrepid travellers Sara and Nick have said ‘I do’ all over the world, after a devastating diagnosis in 2020 changed their lives – and outlook – forever.

We’re unpacking Lonely Planet’s top ultimate travel experiences, so when it’s safe to hit the road again we can help you have these experiences yourself. 

I realized we were all on an adventure together, and even if I had a slight handicap, nothing was going to ruin the spectacular sail through these islands.

In the Galapagos, there are no promises of seeing blue-footed boobies or rare finches but what you are guaranteed is a one-of-a kind adventure with nature.

I wish I could tell you that I was some fearless traveler who ventured into the unknown wilds of Ecuador, but that would be doing you a disservice. I was terrified.

The group – along with the trip itinerary – were amazing, but I firmly believe that without our local guide, the trip would not have meant what it did to me.
