Truly an experience of a lifetime
Oh boy, where do I start?! Snorkeling was definitely out of this world. We saw tons of sea turtles, sea lions, marine iguanas, quite a few penguins, several sharks and a couple of stingrays. I'm sure luckier groups have seen hammerheads and whales, but we're quite happy with the variety of sea life. The most fun part of snorkeling is swimming with these wonderful majestic creatures! Our Naturalist Guide, Hanzel, is truly the other highlight of this trip. I couldn't imagine a guide with more experiences in life - Navy Seal, Master Diver, Paratrooper, Story-teller. His presentations each night about Galapagos is nothing short of amazing. A 60-something that's as fit and passionate about the Galapagos as a 30-something. Count your fortunes if you get Hanzel as your guide.

What a trip!
This was such a great trip that myself and my partner went on. Our guide Danny was awesome and so enthusiastic about the islands and its inhabitants. All of the crew were absolutely excellent, the captain pedro, barman Polo, the panga operators - Verny and Hector, the engineers Jonathan, the chef Wilmur and all the other crew (I can't remember everyone's names sorry!) really made everyone feel welcome and they did everything so well. The boat itself is amazing with great rooms and so much food served up at various points throughout the day

Best father&son vacation - Ever!
Wonderful experience. Didn’t know what to expect but was impressed across the board. While I generally prefer diving, the snorkeling was best I’ve encountered and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yacht was clean and very comfortable. Crew was accommodating and guide did an excellent job catering to varied interest and activity levels. Nature (aquatic and land) was very abundant and diverse. Highlight was swimming within a pod of a few hundred dolphins and playful sea lions. Can’t wait to return with all my family.

Everything from hotel pick up to airport transfer at the end of to cruise was very well organised. Boat needs a little more maintenance for a relatively young vessel. Anchor and rubber transfer boat both failed in the 10 days we were on the boat.

Very friendly cruise with qualified and pleasant staff. The snorkeling was particularly interesting although short with the need to respect the sometimes busy schedule. The movements of the boat, sometimes at night, sometimes in the evening, sometimes made us seasick.

Very nice trip, beware of overconsumption on board.
Very nice trip. Snorkeling at the top. Perfect walks/discovery. No rest time, everything is timed. Meals too copious and in case too many. There must be a big food waste. Meals are taken indoors with air conditioning at full blast, except once on the upper deck. In short, beautiful stay in a preserved natural environment but not ecological enough on the boat.

Wonderful Boat with Delicious Food & Great Excursions
We were upgraded to the master suite of the boat and couldn't have had a better experience all around. The cabin was large, clean and stylish. The excursions were well organized & suitable for all experience levels of hiking & swimming. The staff were all kind & available throughout the trip. We couldn't have had a better experience all around!
