Lovely boat, beautiful cabin, good food, great crew.
The limited times in the water were the highlights. I wish there had been more of that. But flamingoes and al the other things on land were great too. It's just that I wish there had been more of a balance between land and water.

This cruise was phenomenal!
There were so many spectacular moments! Snorkeling with the sea lions was at the top of a very long list of memorable moments. The food on the ship was incredible but the most surprising aspect of all was the friendliness of the crew - without exception! Our guide had to be the most knowledgeable of any guide we’ve had.
- Recommended for
- The snorkeling with the sea lions, the treks on the islands and the warmth from the crew of the Alya.

A Perfect Getaway!
Fantastic trip. Hiking with a tremendous guide everyday (usually twice a day - morning and afternoon). Snorkeling in beautiful, clear, sea-life-filled waters (watching a sealion chase two sharks out of a cove was the highlight). Three incredible meals each day - everything fresh and delicious. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - always going the extra step (hot chocolate awaiting us after snorkeling was a great treat). The boat is beautiful and comfortable - small, but big enough. My fellow travelers were a delightful bunch - engaging, smart, funny and helpful. This was the perfect get away!
