Our trip to the Galapagos was amazing. Our guide Milton was great and took really great care of us. He was really good at assessing what activities might be difficult based on fitness level, warning us ahead of time and having alternatives for those who needed them. The crew on the Eden were all friendly and took great care of us. Overall, a wonderful trip.

Visiting the Galapagos Islands had been at the top of my wish list for as long as I can remember and this trip was everything I'd dreamt of. Every day brought special, close-up encounters with magnificent animals - male frigatebirds displaying their bright red chests, sea lions stretched out on the beach nursing their young pups or cheekily hitching a ride on the back of our boat and pairs of blue-footed boobies engaged in a courtship dance. The Archipel 1 is modern, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with a friendly, hard-working and efficient crew. The food is excellent in quality, quantity and variety. The boat has the capacity for 16 guests, which enables everyone to get to know one another.
