Magnificent Monserrat - My son and I actually did an 11 day itinerary which was totally amazing! When going to the Galapagos you are not going on a cruise you are going on... read more an adventure! Be ready to hike snorkel and swim both mornings and afternoons and see the wonderful world of the indigenous animals. Our accommodations were very comfortable and the food was really good and plentiful. You will not go hungry! The Captain and crew were absolutely great. We named our house keeper ninja because our rooms were clean and tidy every time we were out of our cabin. We had super naturalists that loved their jobs and loved sharing the excitement of the beautiful environment of the Galapagos.
You cannot go wrong with this trip. We actually were sad to leave and if doing over we would have done all the itineraries!

Once onboard, the crew was welcoming and absolutely lovely. Then, the naturalists. Yaz and Pablo were both beyond wonderful; I left knowing so much about the history of the islands we visited, the flora, the fauna and having had just a fun time with the group. The itinerary is pretty active with a hike and snorkeling every day, but that’s exactly what I was looking for. It felt adventurous and exciting without being overwhelming. Overall, highly recommend.

We quickly became a family as we trekked across the western islands of the Galapagos and snorkeled in the chilly waters to view and interact with the amazingly docile and curious land and sea creatures that live there. This was the trip of a lifetime for us, and we are grateful to Monserrat for helping us achieve our dream of visiting the unique Galapagos islands.

  This Is Your Sign To Book It!  - This is your sign to book the cruise right now! My husband and I did Route A + B + C and had the most AMAZING time! We have been... read more backpacking for a while, and the Galápagos Islands were the “vacation” portion within our travels. I have always wanted to come since I was a child, and it was beyond my wildest imagination – a big part of that was going with Monserrat! We were so incredibly spoiled and felt like royalty. All of the activities ran so smoothly, and we were very impressed with the organization of everything. It’s the people that truly make this cruise – the staff are all incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgable. We learned so much and saw a diverse array of animals and landscapes alike. This was absolutely a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget! It’s 1000% worth the price tag.

Also, out of the sections we did, we found A to be our favorite. I highly suggest going for at least 2 legs, as it will give you a better chance to see wildlife, fauna and anything else you want so see. In route A we swam with hammerhead sharks, white tip reef sharks, marine iguanas, penguins, sea lions, and colorful fish just to name a few. On land we saw both land and marine iguanas, sea lions, giant tortoises, blue footed boobies, nazca boobies, Galapagos hawk, penguins, flightless cormorants, frigates, finches, lava lizards, flamingos and so much more.
