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.

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.

Recommended for
The varied itinerary, the friendly crew and the wonderful food.

Super Reise

Meine Highlits habe ich bereits geschrieben, was ich etwas schade fand, war, dass wir von den 6Nächten gerade Mal 3 Nächte auf dem Boot verbrachten. Weil, wenn ich eine Bootstour buche, möchte ich ja auch da übernachten und nicht noch ein Abend auf der Insel im Hotel verbringen.

Recommended for
Tauchen mit dem Pinguin, das tolle Essen und die Tiere am Abend beim Boot zu beobachten

8 dagen verwend op de Monserrat

De mooie natuur, fantastisch om te zwemmen met zeehonden, schildpadden, roggen. 8 dagen lang in de watten gelegd, heerlijk!

Recommended for
Comfort aan boord, incl. eten/drinken/personeel, was fantastisch. In de hut (beneden) was er veel lawaai tijdens het varen. Beter om een hut boven te nemen.

Kurztrip um 4 Inseln kennenzulernen

Das Essen war ausgesprochen gut und sehr reichlich, sowohl bei den Mahlzeiten als auch bei den Snacks, die Crew und die 2 Guides waren sehr freundlich und professionell, man hat gemerkt, dass ihnen die Arbeit Spass macht und sie uns fuer ihre Heimat begeistern wollen. Die Pflanzen- und Tierwelt haben sie uns auf interessante Weise naeher gebracht und alle unsere Fragen beantwortet, sodass man auch etwas gelernt hat bei den Ausfluegen.
