★ 5 · Jon Thomas · 2022-07-21My wife and I loved this experience. The staff and crew were amazing. Our naturalist guide, Rogelio, is a wonderful person who is super knowledgeable on such a wide array of topics including wildlife, plants, geology, and history of the Galapagos. Food was amazing. Service was unforgettable. The staff to guest ratio was impressive. The small boat size (8 guest cabins) created a wonderful boat atmosphere and allowed excursions to small hidden gems with low visitor traffic. Our daily itinerary was packed full of snorkeling and hiking every day. Our tour was not a diving trip, but got us up close and personal to the land and sea across multiple islands in the Galapagos -- and they are all so different. It was a trip of a lifetime for us.
