The crew and guide provided us with a great adventure.
As a bird photographer I was able to get many good photos and was thrilled with a close up of of a Galapogas Hawk. I also took many exciting scenes. The crew were well trained and very friendly and helpful.

Fabulous 5-night experience in the Galápagos.
From start to finish, the organisation was excellent with great attention to detail. The food was fantastic although drinks expensive. Activities were non-stop and very well conducted. At all times the crew and guiding were brilliant. Yes it is expensive to do a small boat cruise of the Galapagos but really worth the experience. And we were super-lucky to have a great bunch of people on the boat with us.

Amazing experience for family with kids and grandparents.
I have been on a number of cruises of different sizes and I have to say that this was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The boat is on the small side with 16 passengers max. But it does not feel cramped in any way. There’s a nice size dining room where they put out a buffet three times a day that is excellent. There’s an espresso coffee and tea machine available 24 hours. A comfortable living room inside where you could sit and read or have a drink from the bar. And a top deck that is perfect for reading or watching the sunset. The food was really delicious, especially given that we were at sea. The activities were packed in that you do usually four a day - walk, snorkel, walk, kayak, etc. after the first activity in the morning and the first activity of the afternoon, you come back to a warm, homemade snack and cold drink. Alex was our guide and he was absolutely incredible. I felt like the places we went and the wildlife we were able to see from so close you could not believe it were out of this world. They made an effort to have us see extra things - like they offered a 6am snorkel one day because that’s when the hammered sharks are around and we saw them - just amazing. We were a family of four with two kids ages nine and 13. We saw almost no other children while we were touring in any other group or even in the towns. But the guides were wonderful about keeping them engaged and including them and we also had a 78 year-old grandmother on the same tour and they were equally amazing with her. I looked at a lot of different ships and I think that the itinerary and quality here for the price is unmatched. Highly recommend.

Trip of a lifetime
Galaxy cruise was fantastic 5 nights was a perfect amount of time. Alex our guide was so knowledgeable, friendly and responsible. Food was delicious Staff very friendly and considerate. Cabin was comfortable and clean with serving 3 rimes per day. Small boat was great. A little bit of a freshen up of the bathroom would be welcome but it was ok - water didn’t drain from the shower very well. A minor issue.

Planned perfectly
We loved this trip. Every day we snorkeled, went on a tender ride to explore the coastline, and went on a hike/walk to explore the land. The days were perfectly planned. There were snacks after every activity and the crew was super vigilant about safety and keeping us informed.

First class cruise thanks to the friendly and professional crew with a very well organized program to spend five wonderful days in contact with nature.
We were very lucky to enjoy a comfortable boat with a very professional crew who looked after us wonderfully. The food was delicious and very fresh. The tours are very well planned to learn about the nature of the Galapagos Islands. It was actually a unique experience that we will always remember.
