Crew was best part

The wildlife and the guide’s expertise on where to find what. Busy schedule with just enough down time to relax. Only 8 guests of the 16 that generally book meant a reasonable amount of space to enjoy the boat.

Great hospitality from the crew!

Obviously the guides were on a strict schedule with other vessels. Our guide handled this well and I never felt rushed. His nightly next day activity briefings were excellent.

Being on the Fragata was amazing.

Being on the yatch and using the dingy for day trips. Meeting new people at meals and becoming friends. Seeing the amazing array of animals and learning about their habitats. We have traveled a lot and this experience ranked right up there at the top. Terrific!

There were more activities than listed on the itinerary which was terrific! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly so we had a lot of fun. The food was great, healthy and plentiful.

Spectacular experience

The walking activities were easy and we saw plenty of wildlife. snorkeling was spectacular and so great for a first timer. I felt safe all the time and Roberto pointed out so many interesting sights. The food on board was lovely and refreshing. The waters were quite rocky (August) and a few in my group had bad sea sickness. We still enjoyed it a lot though! Cabin-wise, it was a bit dated and we were all places in the basement. So it was Stuffy and we had to sleep with open doors. Ventilation did not improve despite fixing.

Worlds best nature experience

Playing with sea lions during snorkling. Watching breeding blue footed boobies, fregat birds, albatrosses and much more.

Enjoyed Fragata cabin no. 5 - just like my tour in 2019. Fantastic to observe the breading season for sea leguanas and birds. Nice company (didn't know anybody in advance)
