luxury question - it isnt possible to "hire" a naturalist guide at a daily rate?
We flew between two of the islands - staying on Isabella and San Cristobal (avoiding the more touristy Santa Cruz). You can (and must) hire a naturalist (ours was a weekly rate and he flew with us). Did land tours and day trips to other smaller islands or parts of the bigger ones.
I'm sure you would see more by doing a cruise for part of the trip. That wasn't desired by our group.
The "wrong" surfaced my general view that there's often too much snark/snobbery on this otherwise-helpful forum.
