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.

- The naturalists were the highlight. They made each activity perfect. Javier helped me to be comfortable snorkeling. The itinerary was fully planned and maximized the time we had.. Always felt safe.

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.

Short trip to get to know 4 islands
The food was extremely good and very plentiful, both in the meals and in the snacks, the crew and the 2 guides were very friendly and professional, you could tell that they enjoy the work and they want to inspire us for their home. They brought us closer to the flora and fauna in an interesting way and answered all our questions, so that we also learned something during the excursions.

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.

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.
