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.

I've taken 2 trips planned by Lina, and both were amazing: Papua New Guinea and Antarctica. Both trips have been true highlights in my travel history, and a big part has been Lina. Aside from both being incredible destinations, a big part of the success of both trips was how Lina took great care of every detail. I 100% recommend Lina's services and look forward to travel with her again!
