An Amazing Experience-super company
From the moment we were greeted at the airport to the moment we left, the crew and naturalists were committed to making sure our Galapagos experience was excellent. The itinerary was varied, a strong blend between walking and snorkeling, allowing us to see a lot of animals and plants of the Galapagos. I highly recommend this company.

Fantastic Galapagos trip
Every day was fantastic - we chose this trip as there seemed to be more opportunities for snorkelling than on some other itineraries but the land based activities were equally fascinating. Being able to snorkel twice a day with sea lions, turtles, sharks etc was my personal highlight.

Amazing 11 nights in the Galapagos doing the DAB route.
We really enjoyed this cruise. The boat was well laid out and designed for the Galapagos. Highlights are the excursions that were expertly guided. We saw and learned so much. On top of the land excursions, the snorkeling was phenomenal. Each evening they laid out the plan for the next day and difficulty of activities.

Loved the itinerary, food and the hot tub!
The snorkelling got better and better each day! David (crew) was extremely attentive - my glass was never empty. I loved swimming with the sea lions, the walk on Espanola Island, witnessing sea turtles on the beach. Such amazing wildlife and knowledgeable guides. I loved getting to know my fellow travellers - I appreciated there was a mix of nationalities and ages - not all older Americans.

Wonderful Galapagos Experience
Coral II was an incredible experience, from the moment you step off the plane you are made to feel welcome. The tour was extremely well organised and the naturalist guide had a wealth of knowledge to share about each location! The food on board was top notch and they are happy to cater to dietary requirements (I’m gluten intolerant). The itinerary was perfect and left me wanting to come back to the Galapagos again very soon!

What an absolutely amazing experience!!!
I don't think I could ever adequately put into words how amazing this trip was... it was hands down the best trip my husband and I have ever taken!! Seeing the animals was obviously the main highlight, but our experience on the Coral I far exceeded my expectations! The staff/guides/crew were all outstanding and were always on top of even the smallest details. The itinerary (we did Itinerary C) was full of activities and things do to, but there was also the perfect amount of down time in between excursions. The food was top-notch and always changing, the guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and I loved that our group was so small (there were 19 of us) -- it all helped make this vacation truly unforgettable! I recommend the Coral I & II to anyone who wants to experience the Galapagos Islands in an intimate and personalized setting! And the entire experience was made even better by the amazing service provided by LiveAboard -- they were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, from booking all the way to traveling!

Wonderful place to visit to see amazing wildlife on a beautiful and comfortable ship.
We loved every bit of this trip. The knowledgeable guides made it wonderful. We didn't know what to expect, and everything we did exceeded our expectations. The crew and guides were very helpful and respectful. We would love to return. Highlights for us were all the wildlife we experienced living their best lives, and we are so happy that they are protected.

Truly amazing
It was better than we expected. There were so many highlights. The wildlife of course was incredible and the reason we went but the cruise was very special. All of the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. When my son lost his phone they went out of their way to find it. The food was incredible. A new surprise everyday and celebrating the fresh food that Ecuador has to offer. Special thanks to the chef. Our safety was always important. Attention was made to every detail so many thanks for a trip I will never forget

Great. Went snorkeling with the sea lions ,turtles, penguins and sharks. Yaks. Saw the blue footed boobie which was on my list but wasn't expecting to see their babies too. What a treat
I had recent hip surgery and the crew was great in helping me in/out of the zodiac. The food was always fresh, abundance and varity. But a lot of waste. Enjoyed the activities on land and sea. Always busy each day.

The trip of a lifetime!
Review of the Coral I & Galápagos Island Cruise – July 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently returned from a once-in-a-lifetime cruise through the Galápagos Islands aboard the Coral I, and I can say without hesitation that the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we boarded the yacht at Baltra, the staff made us feel like we were on a private expedition rather than a tourist cruise. The Coral I is a mid-sized vessel—large enough for comfort and safety, but small enough to access the more intimate corners of the archipelago and allow for personalized attention. Our guide, Hernan, was nothing short of extraordinary. His encyclopedic knowledge of Galápagos wildlife, ecosystems, and Darwinian history brought every hike and snorkel session to life. He shared it all with humor, energy, and passion, making even the most scientifically complex topics feel accessible and fun. Accommodations & Meals: The cabins were thoughtfully designed—cozy but efficient—with comfortable beds, private bathrooms, and daily housekeeping that kept everything fresh. Meals were a highlight, with fresh Ecuadorian flavors, tropical fruits, and international favorites. Dining was casual but elegant, and sunset dinners on deck were magical. Itinerary Highlights: Each day brought unforgettable wildlife encounters. We hiked among land and marine iguanas, watched blue-footed boobies perform their mating dances, and marveled at frigate birds with their red throat pouches inflated like balloons. On North Seymour Island, I learned the difference between the great and magnificent frigate birds—something I never expected to retain, but Hernan made it impossible to forget. We snorkeled with sea lions who playfully swam alongside us, and even braved the waters to swim with white-tipped reef sharks—no cage required! A particular thrill was seeing the waved albatross in its natural habitat, including its awkward but endearing courtship ritual. Giant tortoises lumbered slowly through the highlands of Santa Cruz, and everywhere we turned, Sally Lightfoot crabs and lava lizards darted across the rocks. Every moment felt like walking through a live-action wildlife documentary. Environmental Stewardship: The Galápagos National Park rules are strict—and rightly so. Visits are only permitted with licensed guides, and group sizes are limited to preserve the fragile ecosystems. We appreciated and respected these guidelines, and the Coral I operated in full alignment with conservation principles. Final Thoughts: This was more than a vacation—it was an immersive education in ecology, evolution, and our responsibility as travelers. The Coral I struck a perfect balance between adventure, comfort, and sustainability. If you’re considering a Galápagos cruise, don’t hesitate. Choose a smaller vessel like the Coral I, find yourself a naturalist like Hernan, and prepare to be changed.
