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.

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

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.

Absolutely Incredible Galápagos Experience
Absolutely Incredible Galápagos Experience I can’t say enough amazing things about my time in the Galápagos—and so much of that is thanks to our phenomenal guides and beautiful crew looking after us. From the moment the tour began, it was clear we were in expert hands. With their deep knowledge of the wildlife, geology, and conservation efforts, all delivered with warmth, animation, and passion. Our guides ability to connect with every person in the group, making sure we were all comfortable, informed, and having fun. Whether we were snorkeling with sea lions, spotting blue-footed boobies, or hiking volcanic landscapes, every question was met with a thoughtful answer—often accompanied by an interesting story or fun fact that you wouldn't find in any guidebook. The crew looked after us with five star treatment The Galápagos are stunning.

Good cruise but communication with guest could be improved
Good experience overall but did feel there were communications issues with the guides -- hey plow ahead without recognizing different fitness levels of guests and do not accurately lay out the challenges of walks and likely time involved.

- Full daily program. Nice spacing of program to avoid hottest parts of the day. Excellent crew.

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.

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.
