I was very pleased with everything that happened from the time we boarded Yolita until our final disembarkation. Our trip leader was great, but equally important, the entire crew/staff was great. Everyone was competent at their jobs; they were friendly; and they seemed to be genuinely concerned about our safety, comfort and contentment.

Oswaldo was an amazing CEO - he cared so much about The Galapagos, the clients, the crew, the boat and G-Adventures. He was proactive on every outing to make sure we would have the best experience possible - on terms of the time we left (avoid other people), his knowledge, his picture taking and everything he shared with us. The Captain and the Crew were so caring and responsive to any need we might have. Everything was AMAZING - just as it should have been to be exploring the most special place I have seen on this planet.
