This is a working vacation for those wanting a busy but flexible schedule for seeing all that the Galapagos offers.

Lots of baby and nesting birds. Swimming with sea lions. Mating turtles. Tons of fish and sharks/rays when snorkeling. I saw all of the species i had hoped to see.

Wonderful trip!

We love the trip; even when we got seasick, the crew members were very helpful. It was amazing to see the extraordinary animals that live in Galapagos (both in land and in the sea). Our guide knew many interesting facts. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

You must do this!

We enjoyed this trip so much, the crew was fantastic, the international group of guest blended together so well, the ship is well maintained, the excursions are all very worth it. The program is dense though. Only drawback: We ran out of beverages during the last three days, first wine, then milk, then beer, despite of having made a supply chain stop a day before. This may not happen at such prices.
