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.

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.

We saw a unique part of our world, shown to us by people who really care about it.
The Galapagos wildlife make the trip, and got to experience them in their home environments. From giant tortoises to Galapagos penguins to beautiful iguanas to the seas filled with myriad varieties of fish, it was a wonderful time.

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.

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.
