On board naturalists were the best!
Really enjoyed time with Monserrat. Crew was fantastic and we appreciated the low (1:8) naturalist to guest ratio. It made a huge difference that the guides were available and engaged with every hike, kayak or snorkeling outing. We had 3-4 activities every day and they were very efficient helping everyone on/off the dinghy and knowing what to expect, what to wear for the days activities. From breakfast until 6 p sunset we were busy! And it was great. Safety and comfort was important to the crew. Monserrat does not feature private balconies or extra large cabins which turned out to be a huge plus. We spent our free time in the communal areas and really got to know and have fun with fellow passengers. Sharing photos, exchanging travel stories. Packing recommendations: shoes for lava rock walking, flip flops or beach shoes, shoes to wear on boat (crocs were popular). Good hat, lightweight long sleeves for sun protection. Very chill atmosphere. We took the C+D 7 day tour and were very satisfied. Highly recommend the Monserrat.

Perfect way to enjoy the nature and animals.
Snorkeling with sharks, sea lions, turtles, rays etc. Just a very unforgettable trip. Javier was the best tour guide we’ve ever had.

- 1) Perfect guidance. For example during the snorkeling activities. You’re 100% safe. 2) The tour guide Javier. So much knowledge about the nature and all the animals. 3) Balance between activities and rest time.

We saw a unique part of our world, shown to us by people who really care about it.
The Galapagos wildlife make the trip, and got to experience them in their home environments. From giant tortoises to Galapagos penguins to beautiful iguanas to the seas filled with myriad varieties of fish, it was a wonderful time.

Great way to experience the Galapagos
Lots of up close opportunities to see and experience the Galapagos wildlife. The crew were very kind and attentive and always ready to help. Be aware that the boat travels at night and can be loud enough to keep you up.

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
- Recommended for
- The dives. The shore excursions. The friendliness of the crew.
