Cachalote Explorere Galapagos cruise.
The wildlife viewing on land and snorkeling are without a doubt the highlights of a Galapagos cruise. The variety and abundance of wildlife were incredible. The Cachalote Explorer experience was exceptional. It is a no frills older boat but with considerable charm and ample comfort. The crew was experienced, helpful and friendly. The food was abundant and delicious. The local guide was extremely knowledgeable, very experienced and entertaining. I would have no hesitation to repeat a trip using the same boat.
