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 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.

- I think we saw every creature we came to the Galapagos to see, and many we didn't know about. Our guides were helpful, frinedly and knowledgable, and we learned a lot. Everyone loved the food on board, whicch was plentiful, helathful and deliicious.
