Testimonials

My husband, 4 family members and I totally enjoyed our 8 day/7 night cruise on the Cormorant around the eastern islands of the Galápagos. We snorkeled (with wetsuits) each day, and hiked or kayaked each day. The wildlife, birds and sea life were even better than we had imagined. The Galapagos Nat’l Park guide was excellent: knowledgeable with a sense of humor. The crew (10 people for 14 passengers!) were professional, kind and attentive.
