Relaxing and incredible
This trip exceeded my expectations, our naturalist guide Victor provided a lot of background to the formation of the islands and information about all the various animals we saw. The crew went above and beyond keeping our cabins clean and all passengers well fed. The captain even spent an hour sailing around a dolphin pod and helping us hunt down whales on one of our sailings. There were so many priceless moments on this trip and the 8 day / 7 night itinerary had us alone with no other humans or boats spotted for a day or two in the middle.

The boat crew and guide made our experience that much more amazing
The fact that we had such fast paced itinerary to see as much as possible was the best thing of all. All the activities were fun and interesting, with the exception of paddle boarding which we were promised and the boat didn’t have them

A fantastic trip to check off many bucket list items
Very organized and I loved the size of the boat, perfect amount of people…the food was fantastic and all the activities were well planned…loved both the hiking and the snorkelling and especially liked that you returned to the boat between most activities so if you wanted, you didn’t have to participate in everything…worked well for some of the older guests. Overall, had a fabulous time, learned lots, saw more and fulfilled many lifetime dreams….shoutout to our guide Fabricio and to Johnny….they were fabulous

The perfect five days
We loved our five days on board. The amount of activities was just perfect and always getting greeted with drinks and snacks when coming back to the boat was something that probably spoiled us forever. The crew was outstanding and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Great experience
We had many activities, entertaining and beautiful. Yes we would recommend to our friends, but it is important to mention that it is not 5 days, because the last one, hopefully is 2 hours and it is only 1 activity, being that on the same route there are 2 more points that in all tours are done together (El Junco and Puerto Chino)
- Recommended for
- The service and attention of the crew. After each activity we were greeted with drinks and snacks. Activities in general.
