Great because they visited all the islands necessary to give a broad picture of the birds and other features. Some of the general tour companies don’t visit Genovesa, far up in the northeast corner, and I think that’s one of the best islands to visit.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sadly, their upcoming trip in November is already full, with a waitlist. But any tour company that visits Genovesa as part of their itinerary is probably fine, as you don’t really need a specialized bird guide.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dennis Paulson</div><div class="">Seattle<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Apr 6, 2024, at 9:38 AM, B B via Tweeters <<a href="mailto:tweeters@u.washington.edu" class="">tweeters@u.washington.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div class="yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" class="">Cindy and I are looking at a trip/cruise to the Galapagos.
