He... read more did this is just a few days and we left within 5 days of contacting him. Everything was seemless. He picked us up at the airport delivered us to our hotel. He made suggestions of where to shop and eat. No request went unanswered. He took us to the airport for our trip to the Galapagos and made sure we got our park pass and boarding pass.
When we returned from a great 12 day trip, Anahi was the perfect 16 passenger boat, he was at the airport to meet us again. The personal service was never ending. He and the Anahi were the best.
The Naturalist Gallo was very knowledgeable and catered to all the guest. I couldn't think how this could have worked out better . I highly recommend Rodrigo.

Food was delicious at the entire island and Angermeyer restaurant is one of a kind.

People in the islands are very kind and is 100% secure to travel despide of the coronavirus. Security is amazing cause there aren’t robbers.

I totally recommend this experience!!

Flights... read more being canceled and delayed randomly at every turn. Literally as we were walking out the door to go to the airport our cruise was canceled..Rodrigo was on it every step of the way.. he stayed in constant contact with us... always lining up our options and making recommendations based on his experience.. he has a connection everywhere! He took care of us every step of the way, even arranging COVID testing at our hotel and again at the airport to go home. When he told us initially that our cruise was canceled I was ready to say forget it. I am so glad we went ahead. We did 14 days on the Passion Yacht, the Eastern and Western itineraries. It was amazing, from the crew to the guide and of course the amazing sites, landscapes and wild life. Every detail is handled. Get on the boat and forget everything else. Food is fantastic, everyone we encountered was so friendly. I look forward to returning and I would not let anyone else handle our trip other than Rodrigo and his team …

  After much research on this site and others, I decided to book our Galapagos Cruise with Galapagos Natural Life (online at galapagoslastminute). I wanted to support a local Ecuadorian agency... read more and boat. They were fantastic! From my very first inquiry online to leaving Ecuador, Rodrigo was only an email or WhatsApp message away. He answered all my questions, usually within an hour any time of day. Rodrigo books and handles reservations for many local ship operators. We picked the luxury boat, Alya. Wow, was it fantastic! I will write a review about the boat and cruise under Alya.
I was nervous to send so much money to an Ecuador bank and tried to do some research to make sure it wasn't a scam. When Rodrigo but a hold on a cabin for me I went to the extra effort to see that another travel site now showed 1 less cabin for my cruise, so I was hopeful this was a reliable travel agency. Galapagos Natural Life was not only a reliable agency but very well organized and informative. After all decisions were made about what we wanted to do, Rodrigo booked and sent us all our cruise tickets and air flight tickets, and all the information we needed for the Galapagos fees and transit cards. We also booked their "Quito Extension" tour and had a 2 day tour of Quito highlights with a private driver. Rodrigo booked our Quito hotel as part of this tour, and had a driver meet us at the airport, take us to the hotel and return us to the airport at the end of our trip. I usually organize all these things myself when we travel but it was a nice touch especially when I don't speak Spanish and have never been in South America. He also had a company representative meet us at the airport on the day we flew over to Galapagos, and she made sure we were all booked in with our Galapagos transit cards and fees paid. After all the back and forth WhatsApp messages with Rodrigo, I felt like I knew him, so it was nice that he took the time to stop by our Quito hotel and introduce himself and make sure their wasn't anything else we needed.
If you want to book a local Galapagos cruise or land tour I highly recommend Galapagos Natural Life.

  Rodrigo Canchig at Galapagos Natural Life organized a trip for me and my family, a group of 11 people. We had an 8 night cruise on the Beluga Yacht... read more around Isabela Island, and a few days in mainland Ecuador before and after.
Our experience was amazing, and everything was so well organized that we could just enjoy it without any worries.
The boat was very comfortable, and the staff were amazing. The food was good, everything was always clean, the panga drivers were very skilled and everyone was so attentive to our needs. Our naturalist, Richard Ruiz, was great. He was very organized, knowledgeable, and responsive to everyone's needs and expectations.
Rodrigo also helped us organize transport around Quito, and our driver was also great - always on time, very kind and a good driver.
If you are organizing a trip to the Galapagos and Ecuador, I highly recommend contacting Rodrigo at Galapagos Natural Life.

Oh my gosh the food was fantastic. The chef used to work at one of the top hotels in Quito and each meal was gourmet using local fresh ingredients. We had ceviche twice, tuna, filet mignon, shrimp, and more. The staff aboard was so nice, and everything was planned for us. We kayaked, snorkeled everyday, hiked, and more. We saw so many different animals. We swam with dolphins, turtles, sea lions, and sharks. Our guide, Luis, was so knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. We had so much fun! I wholeheartedly recommend this trip.

Rodrigo from Natural Life was outstanding and held our hands the whole way — booking our cruise, securing our hotel rooms, getting our salvoconducto documents, and arranging our Covid tests. He was quick to reply to all my questions at all hours. He clearly is customer service focused.
