About Me

I specialize in planning travel to the Galápagos Islands for travelers who want an immersive, wildlife-centered experience in one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth.

The Galápagos is not a typical island vacation. It is a highly regulated national park with strict visitor controls, designated landing sites, and structured itineraries. Choosing the right yacht, route, cabin category, and length of sailing significantly impacts what you see and how you experience the islands. I guide my clients through those decisions with clarity and strategy.

Whether you are dreaming of snorkeling with sea lions, observing giant tortoises in the highlands, or sailing aboard a luxury expedition yacht, I design seamless Galápagos itineraries tailored to your expectations and comfort level.

Small-Yacht Galápagos Cruises: Intimate expedition vessels ranging from boutique catamarans to luxury yachts.

Wildlife-Focused Itineraries: Strategic route selection to maximize encounters with endemic species, marine life, and diverse landscapes.

Luxury & Premium Yacht Comparisons: Clear guidance on inclusions, cabin configuration, onboard atmosphere, and guide-to-guest ratios.

Family & Multigenerational Galápagos Travel: Choosing vessels and itineraries that align with varying activity levels.

Galápagos + Mainland Ecuador Extensions: Combining the islands with Quito, the Amazon, or Andean regions for a well-rounded experience.

Galápagos itineraries vary significantly depending on route direction, landing sites, vessel size, and naturalist quality. I help you determine:

  • The best itinerary length and route (northern, southern, or combined loops)
  • Activity level expectations for snorkeling and hiking
  • Cabin category and deck location
  • Seasonal wildlife considerations
  • Park regulations and travel logistics

Two Galápagos cruises may look similar at first glance, but guide expertise, yacht layout, and passenger capacity can shape your experience in meaningful ways. I provide transparent comparisons so you can book confidently.

Fantastic Philippines
Reviewed By YorkMapper - Saratoga, New York | Traveled to Philippines | East and Southeast Asia
Lina is a great travel advisor. I would engage her again and would consider traveling with them on their group tours as well . Lina took my suggestions for a trip to the Philippines, selected just the right tour to join and also customized the rest of the trip. She filled in all of the gaps: best flights, best fit for hotels and great suggestions. She answered all of my endless and silly questions very promptly (and while on international travel herself). She was also available during my trip and helped me quite a bit. Thanks Lina!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

This was an absolutely incredible trip! Lina was available with helpful hints, insights, and information. Her experience with Antarctica helped add context to different landing locations and just general things to expect. 10/10 would book another trip with them!

Just back from the most incredible safari through Tanzania, all thanks to Lina. Everything was handled with such care, precision, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences.
