Truly the trip of a lifetime
With the help of Javier and Karem we saw all the wildlife we had hoped to see. The snorkel experiences were wonderful. We were alone as a group in all of the spots.

Great way to experience the Galapagos
Lots of up close opportunities to see and experience the Galapagos wildlife. The crew were very kind and attentive and always ready to help. Be aware that the boat travels at night and can be loud enough to keep you up.

Perfect way to enjoy the nature and animals.
Snorkeling with sharks, sea lions, turtles, rays etc. Just a very unforgettable trip. Javier was the best tour guide we’ve ever had.

- 1) Perfect guidance. For example during the snorkeling activities. You’re 100% safe. 2) The tour guide Javier. So much knowledge about the nature and all the animals. 3) Balance between activities and rest time.

On board naturalists were the best!
Really enjoyed time with Monserrat. Crew was fantastic and we appreciated the low (1:8) naturalist to guest ratio. It made a huge difference that the guides were available and engaged with every hike, kayak or snorkeling outing. We had 3-4 activities every day and they were very efficient helping everyone on/off the dinghy and knowing what to expect, what to wear for the days activities. From breakfast until 6 p sunset we were busy! And it was great. Safety and comfort was important to the crew. Monserrat does not feature private balconies or extra large cabins which turned out to be a huge plus. We spent our free time in the communal areas and really got to know and have fun with fellow passengers. Sharing photos, exchanging travel stories. Packing recommendations: shoes for lava rock walking, flip flops or beach shoes, shoes to wear on boat (crocs were popular). Good hat, lightweight long sleeves for sun protection. Very chill atmosphere. We took the C+D 7 day tour and were very satisfied. Highly recommend the Monserrat.
