Wonderful and unforgettable vacation
Seeing animals and birds in their natural habitat, only steps away; they were very calm and not fearful of human presence. Trekking over the black lava fields was quite the experience. Snorkeling in the open ocean and observing sea turtles, marine iguanas, and several types of tropical fish was an unforgettable experience (would've loved to see sharks, but they were a bit shy. Each island we visited offered very different experiences, some very challenging... not for the faint of heart...but well worth the effort (my wife and I are over 60). The evening briefings by the naturalist guide were great, helping to prepare us for the activities of the next day. The crew was very friendly and helpful, and did their best to accommodate us. We will definitely plan to do this again to visit the places not seen on this trip.
