Definitely a trip of a lifetime!
Our three generation family of nine loved this vacation. Everyone, from 13-76 years of age, were able to participate in every activity. I liked that we hiked early in the day when the temps were cooler then snorkeled in the heat of the day.

Galapagos is a must!
Pablo and Yazmine are amazing guides! They go above and beyond for the guests to truly enjoy their Galapagos experience. On board service is amazing. There could be a little more food variety, though all is absolutely delicious. The cabin could be bigger, but since its a small yacht is understandable the size limitations. Overvall, excelent trip, the best of our lives, 100% recommend it.

A must do on a wonderful boat
This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I've been to 70 countries so I have traveled extensively and this was one of the most organized and amazing trips. I love the crew and the food. We stayed on the lower deck and I would recommend staying on the upper deck as the sound of the motor kept me awake. Otherwise, it was perfection.

Wonderful Cruise
We loved the whole experience. Visiting the different islands and learning about the history makes you appreciate what you are seeing. The wildlife is amazing, of course. Being so close to the animals is an experience like no other. If you are going to visit the Galapagos Islands, the best way, by far, is traveling on a small ship like the Monserrat.

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.

Amazing experience with outstanding crew, but average guides
Overall, it was an amazing experience. The crew was exceptional and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. On the other hand, the guides were average. They often arrived at the last minute, and while they took many photos, they shared very few of them with us, even when we asked

A magical time on the Monserrat
What an exceptional experience. I booked this as part of a solo trip, and I couldn’t be happier. To start, someone met me at the airport to ensure everything was arranged before I even boarded the plane. From start to finish, the crew were amazing, making me feel very at home and taken care of but never in an overbearing way. The crew is very good at their jobs, keeping everything running smoothly. Then the naturalists who guided our daily hikes and snorkels - WOW. They were so knowledgeable and had an answer to practically every question about the flora, the fauna, the history of the islands, the landscape. Big shoutout to Yaz who not only shared his clear love for this place but also was remarkable at taking pictures and videos for the group. The food was good (get ready to eat a lot!) and the accommodations felt fairly comfortable. I feel the value for this trip is great - I can’t believe how much we fit into 5 days. If you want to experience the Galapagos, I think this is a wonderful way to do so.
