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.

Absolutely Incredible Galápagos Experience
Absolutely Incredible Galápagos Experience I can’t say enough amazing things about my time in the Galápagos—and so much of that is thanks to our phenomenal guides and beautiful crew looking after us. From the moment the tour began, it was clear we were in expert hands. With their deep knowledge of the wildlife, geology, and conservation efforts, all delivered with warmth, animation, and passion. Our guides ability to connect with every person in the group, making sure we were all comfortable, informed, and having fun. Whether we were snorkeling with sea lions, spotting blue-footed boobies, or hiking volcanic landscapes, every question was met with a thoughtful answer—often accompanied by an interesting story or fun fact that you wouldn't find in any guidebook. The crew looked after us with five star treatment The Galápagos are stunning.

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.

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.

A must do on a wonderful boat
This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I've been to 70 countries so I have traveled extensively and this was one of the most organized and amazing trips. I love the crew and the food. We stayed on the lower deck and I would recommend staying on the upper deck as the sound of the motor kept me awake. Otherwise, it was perfection.

We had a Great time with the Crew and the animals.
We did the 4 days/3 Nights trip. Our guide José was really responsabel. He paid a Lot of respect to the nature. Hè made a Lot of Videos (also during the snorkeling) and sent These all to us. Because of the Videos we have a really nice Memory from the Trip. The Crew did their part good. Not everybody spoke englisch but we could communicate with them. We really appreciated that they had clean towels for us after the activities. And the Snack :) only Point for improvement; the Briefing sometimes was a Little to Long.
