Unforgettable
We hit all the major islands and got to interact with all the animals we’d hoped to except the elusive hammerhead. The trip was 5-stars overall, though the boat is starting to show some age.

We had a great time on the comfortable Archival 1 exploring a variety of islands in the Galapagos.
Highlights of our trip was viewing hundreds of unique birds nesting on Genovese, snorkeling with sharks, turtles and rays, and being together on this adventure. My one negative comment would be that it is not really a 4 day-3 night trip. The 4th "day" consisted of a visit to a tortoise reserve and a 10am drop off at the airport to catch our flight to Quito. I requested a later flight but were given no other option.

Fantastic short cruise experience
We swam with sea lions, we snorkeled to see white tip sharks and a variety of star fish, we kayaked with sea turtles, and saw countless birds up close. The food was amazing and the chef goes above and beyond to accommodate diets. The guide is always very knowledgeable and friendly.
