My family and I are hoping to plan a trip over spring break to the Galapagos Islands. Has anyone had experience with any specific tour companies? Does anyone have itinerary suggestions for the week (assuming we aren't on the boat the entire week? Please help, I'm totally confused right now, and not finding helpful websites.

To help you decide I brought this post for you ttt<BR><BR>Message: Lisa I brought a couple posts for you to the top. They have some good information and suggestions. To start buy Berry Boyce's " A Traveler's Guide to the Galapagos Islands" mentioned some time ago on this board. Read this guide and decide what are your preferences. <BR><BR>Don't wait too long. Just go and have a fantastic time. We loved it and being on a small boat was the best way to go.<BR><BR><BR><BR>

I've just spent weeks doing research for a trip to the Galapagos and Ecuador for myself and 9 friends for next year and talked to many companies. I highly recommend that you talk to Kristy Royce at Expedition Trips.com (1-877-412-8527). She was a guide there at one time and knows everything about the islands. She helped us put together a great trip. Tell her I sent you.
