About Me

Giant Land Tortoises are everywhere!
Giant Land Tortoises are everywhere!

Just off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands are one of the most unique places on earth.  You will not be sorry with visiting and may want to go more than once! 

The Galapagos Islands are off the western coast of South America and host hundreds of species of wildlife.  Birds, iguanas, penguins, sea lions, land tortoises and much more.  You can visit by cruise and by land and once again, I recommend both.  You'll get to sail to all the islands and visit each one on foot to see all the flora and fauna each island offers. Hiking, snorkeling, zodiac riding, and much more!

You can visit the islands any time of year - it's about the same temperature all year.  There is a rainy season and a dry season, and the wildlife is different in each season.  

You're also not far from Machu Picchu - so if this too has been on your bucket list - we can combine these once in a lifetime vacations.  I'm a travel agent who travels - a lot! My personal experience helps me help you get the best vacation.  Contact me to help you plan this wonderful wildlife vacation!

Best trip ever!
Reviewed By April S - Sunbury, OH | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
From start to finish Kathi was amazing in planning our trip! She truly puts the customer first. She is extremely responsive, helpful, creative, and always patient. We asked so many questions and she never got frustrated and just kept on helping us to make the decisions we were so thrilled about. Kathi has a true passion for travel and wants everyone to have the experience of their life, no matter where they go. Our Alaskan trip was for 10 of us and over my birthday and Kathi made sure it was perfect!
I have and will continue to recommend Kathi to anyone who wants to travel, get the best value and wants to experience traveling with no worries!! Thank you always Kathi! You are awesome!

Client Testimonials

I Love Casinos At Sea
I love to cruise and Kathi has helped me with every one I have booked. I do like a casino, and Celebrity and Royal Caribbean Cruises have great ones! Kathi has encouraged me to explore new ships and new destinations keeping my likes and dislikes in mind. She's very supportive and helpful. I only use Kathi at KMH Travel for my vacations.
