BEVERLEY – Local travel company Think Galapagos has been recognised with a Tripadvisor Traveler’s’ Choice Award 2025, placing it among the top 10% of travel providers worldwide.
This marks the fourth time Think Galapagos has received a Traveler’s’ Choice Award — a reflection of consistent excellence and trust their guests place in them year after year.
At the same time, the company is strengthening its local roots by working with East Riding College’s Tourism Studies class, where second-year students will use Think Galapagos as a live case study next month.
The company, which specialises in tailor-made adventures to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador, has been operating for more than 25 years. While based in East Yorkshire, Think Galapagos welcomes travellers not only from the UK but also from the United States, Canada, Australia and beyond.
Reviews on Tripadvisor highlight the company’s exceptional level of personal service, with guests frequently praising the team for going “above and beyond” to ensure every detail runs smoothly. One traveller summed it up simply: “They treated us like family from start to finish.”
Helen Gallagher, Level 3 Travel and Tourism Tutor at East Riding College, said:
“We’re delighted to be working with Think Galapagos as part of our Travel and Tourism course.
It’s inspiring for our students to learn directly from a successful local business that has achieved international recognition. Using Think Galapagos as a live case study helps bring the subject to life and gives our learners valuable insights into how passion, sustainability and customer care can drive success in the travel industry.”
Co-founder Rachel Dex added:
“Winning the Travelers’ Choice Award is such a wonderful moment for us. It reflects the hard work our team puts into every journey, but also the generosity of our guests in sharing their experiences.
We’re proud to be flying the flag for Beverley on the global stage and to be able to share our story with the next generation of tourism professionals here in East Yorkshire.
Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards highlight businesses that consistently earn outstanding reviews from travellers worldwide.
