 Galapogos travel January 12, 2008
Product as advertised. Information good but based on 2004 data, not really current information for planned travel in 2008. This is the problem with printed reviews versus online data.
 Good information but a little outdated August 11, 2007

A very useful book to take with you to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. However, some of the information is a big outdated. We went took a Galapagos 7 day cruise with a company that isn't even listed in this book. It was the best vacation we had ever gone on - highly recommended! It was on the Athala w/ Columbus Travel. Still, the book is a good source of information.

This book was invaluable during my trip to the Galapagos. Unlike many guidebooks that contain out of date info, this book was current and a nice little reference book for both trip planning and island exploring.

This "guide" to the Galapagos contains long, boring chapters on tour companies, logistics (including insightful advice such as "bring lots of film" and "don't drink the water"), how to take photographs, and mainland Ecuador. There is a short chapter on Galapagos wildlife. Mr. Boyce owns Galapagos Travel, a tour company specializing in trips to the Galapagos. It is obvious that Mr. Boyce wrote this book for two reasons: (1) to establish himself as an "authority" on the Galapagos, and (2) to sell a copy to everyone who gets on one of his boats. Don't waste your money on this one. (I can't recommend his tour company, either.) If you are in the market for a good guide to the Galapagos, I highly recommend Michael Jackson's authoritative Galapagos: A Natural History Guide.

Booked a trip to Galapagos Islands...this book has been a great source of information on what to bring, what to expect, how to photograph wildlife, etc. Although, we had already booked our trip when we received the book, the section on "planning" your trip or choosing the tour company seemed like a great resource for someone doing initial research.
