Bucket List Alert: A Week in The Galápagos Islands

We’re asked about our favorite places quite often and The Galápagos Islands are always part of the conversation. There’s nowhere like it on Earth – we frolicked with sea lions, were blown away by Giant Tortoises, swam with iguanas and sea turtles (half the fun is underwater!) and hiked up to a live volcano!

And that’s just for starters. Here’s our journey… CONTINUE READING >>

Dale Ertel, Reptile Wrangler
