A trip not to be missed!
The Natural Paradise lives up to its name while sailing around the beautiful Galapagos island chain. There was a new location to explore every day and sometimes twice a day. The boat only holds 16 guests but felt very spacious. The food was amazing and the crew was both friendly and accommodating. The locales in the Galapagos were stunning. The wildlife was bountiful and were almost completely unphased by humans making observing their behavior a true pleasure. The snorkeling is not to be missed and the crew was always nearby (on rubber rafts) keeping a constant vigil for trouble. The guide spoke excellent English and had an eye for finding multiple species then explaining what we seeing. The whole experience was great from top to bottom. I took the 8 day cruise which was packed from end to end. The non-stop adventures did fatigue my 58 year old body a bit but is doable for most moderately fit people. You can elect to rest and miss one or two of the excursions if you must, but I don’t recommend it unless you’re totally spent. This is a cruise worthy of a once in a lifetime trip! Bon Voyage mi amigo!

Amazing Experience
Went on a cruise with the Natural Paradise from Nov 12 to 19; amazing! Never been to the Galapagos before, but I traveled a lot throughout Africa, South- and Middle-America, Asia and more; there is no place like Galapagos on earth! The best way to enjoy the beauty of the islands and the animals is by cruise; and Natural Paradise knows exactly how to do this. Every day again, the crew was giving 200% to offer excellent (in-between activity) snacks, meals (buffets), your cabin would normally be cleaned multiple times a day (everytime you go on an activity). They make you feel like a king. The naturalist guide Gustavo was very good as well. I would highly recommend the Natural Paradise!

Fantastic!
I loved everything! You can go without fear! The room is spectacular. Those who tend to get sick have medication and appropriate bracelets. I was very well cared for and well received.

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.
