8 days pampered on the Monserrat
The beautiful nature, fantastic for swimming with seals, turtles, rays. Pampered for 8 days, delicious!

- Comfort on board, incl. food/drinks/staff, was fantastic. In the cabin (downstairs) there was a lot of noise while sailing. Better to take a hut upstairs.

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.

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.

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.
- Recommended for
- 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.

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.

We had a Great time with the Crew and the animals.
We did the 4 days/3 Nights trip. Our guide José was really responsabel. He paid a Lot of respect to the nature. Hè made a Lot of Videos (also during the snorkeling) and sent These all to us. Because of the Videos we have a really nice Memory from the Trip. The Crew did their part good. Not everybody spoke englisch but we could communicate with them. We really appreciated that they had clean towels for us after the activities. And the Snack :) only Point for improvement; the Briefing sometimes was a Little to Long.

Amazing experience, highly recommend it!
The crew and guides (particularly Pablo) were absolutely fantastic and made a huge effort to make everyone comfortable and involved. We spotted so much wildlife both on land and in the water and managed to tick everything off the list. The smaller group made it easy to socialise, which was a plus. Cabins were very comfortable with AC and ensuite. Water pressure was good too. Rooms were made up multiple times a day and towels refreshed upon request. The free wifi onboard was excellent both in terms of coverage and speed. Finally the food was delicious and varied and although portions were adequate, they were on the smaller side. Overall would highly recommend the Monserrat for a brilliant experience from start to finish.
