Amazing Sol and Unreal Journeys organization

Sol and Unreal Journeys organization was perfect and we really appreciate because it ‘s not so simple to organize everything by yourselves when you don’t know how things are working in The Galapagos (just to book the boat to go from Santa Cruz to Isabella, we saw many people trying to find a place with nothing available before the next 3 days).

For us, Isabela was the most interesting island (compared to Santa Cruz) because very quiet and not so many tourist mainly interested by having a cocktail on the harbor.
The visit of Los Tunneles was amazing, turtles (huge and many), boobies (unexpected but we could almost touch them (interesting to see how wild life is not afraid by humans in Galapagos),a shark ( a small one but it always strange to swin close to a shark). The guide was perfect and showed us all what could be possible to see. He also took time with people who were not so confortable with snorkeling so everyone was able to enjoy the trip. The trip to volcanos was great (for us and even my daughter walked the 17 kms). The landscape was terific for us who are living in France. The visit of the wall of tears, turtle reserve and the mangrove was also really great and the guide Tamara was perfect and she had some scientific knowledge on biology so our discussions were very interesting.She also gave us some advices and told us that very recently it was possible to visit the sulfur mine without having the 24 km to walk and she called someone who she knew to see if it was possible)). So four of us added this trip the day after the volcano with a guide who was also perfect (one him and us) . Amazing landscape and we were very happy because the site was very active)

Thank you again and highly recommended agency, it was an unforgettable trip and we will come back

Sol organized a personalized itinerary

Sol organized a personalized itinerary for our” Galapagos Islands Trip”. We are sailors and arrived to San Cristobal without knowing what to do and got to meet Sol and she briefed us with all the local knowledge information, including the activities we could do by ourselves.

She booked all services for us, including ferries inter islands, diving /land tours, hotels , taxi drivers , and as the other traveler mentioned, many travelers would have to wait at least one day or more to get spaces for tours/ferry tickets.
Luckily thanks to Sol , we booked everything in advance, had a personalized itinerary and were able to make the most of our trip.

Sol works with local travel agents/suppliers that provide good service , so highly recommended.

“Unreal Journeys” is the perfect

“Unreal Journeys” is the perfect name, as I am still pinching myself to make sure it was in fact, all real. What an incredible trip! Sol was a wonderful host and organizer planner, which had to be difficult because of all the activities and must-see sights that were on my list. In the 12 days I was in Ecuador, Sol made sure I was able to experience the rocky coasts and gorgeous shorelines of the Pacific Ocean. This was complete with hikes to hidden beaches, snorkeling with tropical fish and sea turtles, and a boat trip out to La Plata island with blue-footed boobies, jaw-dropping cliffs, and Galapagos iguanas.
Touring the sights with an outgoing, friendly, local like Sol, meant that we got the best deals, the best food, and the coolest opportunities that one would never get to experience with a big tourist operation. This is personalized service at its best.
Following the explorations on the coast, we headed inland, to Baños de Agua Santa (AKA Baños), one of the adventure capitals of Ecuador. There, Sol had organized a multitude of activities so that I could get a taste of everything. There were beautiful overlooks, massive waterfalls, and every kind of thrill-seeking option a person could want. Following that, she also found a local spot for what was easily the best massage of my life. This city is jumping-off point for other incredible adventures as well. We took an Amazon excursion, which was so interesting and powerful that it felt like we were in another world. Canoeing down the river, meeting a welcoming, indigenous tribe in the Amazon, making (and eating!) chocolate, swimming in waterfalls, and of course, hiking through the jungle, is an experience I will never forget. The guides for that trip were very knowledgeable and entertaining as well, making it clear that she had done research in scheduling it with the right company.
And then there were the Andes… incredible views at every turn, including a glimpse of Cotopaxi. Sol booked a trip for me with a very small group of like-minded travelers (there were 4 of us in total, including the guide). We had the opportunity to meet an Andean family and learn about their culture and how they live off the land. This was a special moment. We then traveled to Lake Quilatoa and hiked the dormant volcano. The crater and lake within were absolutely breathtaking. As was the hike back UP! It is known as a spiritual place, and the moment you see it, you’ll know why. I will always be thankful for this experience.
And I will always be grateful to Sol for her care and attention to detail in planning this entire trip, making sure it was everything I had hoped, and far more. As a solo traveler, she put me at ease from the very beginning with her genuine thoughtfulness and kind spirit. Thank you, Sol, and Unreal Adventures for a truly life-changing experience.
