Amazing experience with outstanding crew, but average guides
Overall, it was an amazing experience. The crew was exceptional and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. On the other hand, the guides were average. They often arrived at the last minute, and while they took many photos, they shared very few of them with us, even when we asked

Galapagos is a must!
Pablo and Yazmine are amazing guides! They go above and beyond for the guests to truly enjoy their Galapagos experience. On board service is amazing. There could be a little more food variety, though all is absolutely delicious. The cabin could be bigger, but since its a small yacht is understandable the size limitations. Overvall, excelent trip, the best of our lives, 100% recommend it.

Definitely a trip of a lifetime!
Our three generation family of nine loved this vacation. Everyone, from 13-76 years of age, were able to participate in every activity. I liked that we hiked early in the day when the temps were cooler then snorkeled in the heat of the day.

Amazing experience, highly recommend it!
The crew and guides (particularly Pablo) were absolutely fantastic and made a huge effort to make everyone comfortable and involved. We spotted so much wildlife both on land and in the water and managed to tick everything off the list. The smaller group made it easy to socialise, which was a plus. Cabins were very comfortable with AC and ensuite. Water pressure was good too. Rooms were made up multiple times a day and towels refreshed upon request. The free wifi onboard was excellent both in terms of coverage and speed. Finally the food was delicious and varied and although portions were adequate, they were on the smaller side. Overall would highly recommend the Monserrat for a brilliant experience from start to finish.

A magical time on the Monserrat
What an exceptional experience. I booked this as part of a solo trip, and I couldn’t be happier. To start, someone met me at the airport to ensure everything was arranged before I even boarded the plane. From start to finish, the crew were amazing, making me feel very at home and taken care of but never in an overbearing way. The crew is very good at their jobs, keeping everything running smoothly. Then the naturalists who guided our daily hikes and snorkels - WOW. They were so knowledgeable and had an answer to practically every question about the flora, the fauna, the history of the islands, the landscape. Big shoutout to Yaz who not only shared his clear love for this place but also was remarkable at taking pictures and videos for the group. The food was good (get ready to eat a lot!) and the accommodations felt fairly comfortable. I feel the value for this trip is great - I can’t believe how much we fit into 5 days. If you want to experience the Galapagos, I think this is a wonderful way to do so.

8 days pampered on the Monserrat
The beautiful nature, fantastic for swimming with seals, turtles, rays. Pampered for 8 days, delicious!

- Comfort on board, incl. food/drinks/staff, was fantastic. In the cabin (downstairs) there was a lot of noise while sailing. Better to take a hut upstairs.
