A once in a lifetime experience
We went with another couple. The crew is wonderful and made you feel very comfortable/at home. We were happy with the food and there is plenty of it between the snacks and the meals. Our days were filled with amazing hikes and snorkeling at the different islands and we learned so much from the naturalist about the animals and the islands. The boat and your room is clean. One thing to keep in mind….being a small boat you are going to hear the engine and they travel at night. Bring earplugs as they were effective.

We had a wonderful time on the Bonita! Our guide and the crew were exceptional. Everything was very well organized and the wildlife was out of this world. We would book another tour on the Bonita in a heartbeat as well as recommend to our family and friends.

Excellent, Friendly and Memorable
The trip was beyond our expectations. The crew and guide could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Every day was packed with a mixture of land and water adventures. Seeing the abundance of wildlife and sea life was an adventure of a lifetime. We loved the intimacy of only 15 guests and 9 crew. We highly recommend this small ship cruise.

Good crew no sleep with the engine being right next to our cabin. Therefore, we were too tired to enjoy things during the day and caught up on sleep when the engine was off.
The people were very nice on the boat and the guide was knowledgeable. He explained everything in Spanish as well and not only in English. Most people spoke only English but he was good to us in his native tongue. We saw a lot of cool places and animals. Again, couldn’t sleep at all at night because of loud engine noise. That really restricted us from having fun during the day on excursions. The last two days, we just stayed on the boat and slept when it was quiet. It was also strange to always have just water for lunch and dinner. Nobody ever offered anything else until you requested something else. Other than the guide and the wonderful lady that served us meals, there was very little interaction with the crew. They all came out, dressed up for ten minutes to collect their tips the last evening.

Wonderful crew and great mix of active international travelers
Seeing the baby sea lions nursing with their mothers, the giant tortoises, snorkeling and kayaking and the many fascinating hikes. The food was wonderful. I always looked forward to the great Ecuadorean snacks after our afternoon activities. Our guide and the crew were so helpful and friendly. And it was lovely that the other guests came from many different countries and were all very adventurous and interesting.

A truly magical place
Seeing the Southern Cross in the same sky as the Big Dipper; seeing sharks in the wild--white tipped reef sharks while snorkeling and Galapagos sharks swimming around the boat; seeing the tortoises, iguanas, and many species of birds; swimming with sea lions; meeting and interacting with our wonderful guide and the crew. The Galapagos islands proved to be the special place I thought they would be. Thank you, Bonita and crew!

This was everything that I expected and wanted for my trip
There are too many to mention and it is impossible to say any one part of the trip was better than another.
