Once in a lifetime trip that exceeded expectations
A fantastic trip where we swam with eagle rays, sharks, turtles and sea lions and saw penguins, friget mating rituals, flamingos and as many iguanas as you could hope to see up close and personal. We also walked to several breathtaking viewpoints of the various islands we visited. And the boat was fantastic - spotless, spacious and friendly with excellent food available. The Galapagos isn't a cheap option but if you love nature, it will be the experience of a lifetime.

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!

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.
