Outstanding time in Galapagos
My cabin mate and I slept under the stars on the upper deck. Excursions and activities were well timed and plentiful. The boat needs some minor attention like a towel bar in the bathroom and shelves in the cabin. Staff were friendly and attentive.

What it lacks in 'Luxury' is more than compensated with value.
Without doubt the Islands and animals. Well informed and intelligent guide.

Inseln, Ausflüge und Schiff waren super. Absolut empfehlenswert
Mit Ausnahme der Mittagszeit waren wir den ganzen Tag auf den Inseln untert oder am Schnorcheln. Wir haben wirklich so viel gesehen, es war unglaublich. Schnorcheln mit Meeresechsen, Schildkröten, Rochen und hunderten von Fischen. An Land ist aber genauso viel zu entdecken. Abwechslungsreiche Landschaften voll mit Reptit und Vögeln. Unser Tourguide hat viel erklärt und die Ausflüge waren weder zu kurz noch zu lang. Natürlich war man jeden Abend müde, aber so sollte es ja auch sein. Man kommt nur einmal im Leben auf Galapagos und will ja möglichst viel erleben. Darum waren wir froh, die Reise mit der Estrella gemacht zu haben. Danke.
