:-)
I'm not the one who has been to the Galapagos, but it's on my list. Often no, you don't get the full experience, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not worth going. Venice, for example, is only marginally accessible, and I'm not sure that I would plan a whole trip around it, but I'm really glad I went and I would go again.
I'm confused - is it you or your father who is a wheelchair user? Things can seem very intimidating before you actually do them, especially if you're the kind of person who is more comfortable knowing ahead of time exactly how everything is going to play out. You may find that you need to step out into the unknown - but once you've done it, you realize that it can be done, and it's not as big a deal as you thought it would be.
