Intimate Galapagos Experience
We had an amazing trip aboard the Archipel 1. The boat was clean and comfortable and the crew was super friendly. The small size of the group and careful planning by our guide (Christian!) allowed us to have a more private experience of the islands. Even though other tours were around, I often felt like we were the only ones there. The Galapagos is a truly magical place and it was all amazing. My favorite parts were surprises - getting to swim with 100s of dolphins and being mesmerized watching sharks following the ship at night.

Fantastic short cruise experience
We swam with sea lions, we snorkeled to see white tip sharks and a variety of star fish, we kayaked with sea turtles, and saw countless birds up close. The food was amazing and the chef goes above and beyond to accommodate diets. The guide is always very knowledgeable and friendly.

An exceptional experience
We were really lucky and saw everything you could ask for! The guide simply knew everything about animals and plants. He also brought in a lot of his own experiences. We were always welcomed with delicious snacks and drinks. The rooms were very clean and always well maintained. There was a family environment. The average age of the guests was well mixed. I would go back on board at any time.
