About this trip

Napo wildlife center and Sacha Lodge

We booked last minute, only 2 days before the cruise, yet they made the diet accomodations for my wife. 15 passengers, 9 crew members, 2 naturalists. Yazmany the naturalist was amazing and took a few of us on an extra snorkeling trip to see the hammerhead sharks. He definitely went the extra mile when he could have had a siesta. Lars the other naturalist was excellent as well. The cooks and the bar tender were excellent and the housekeeper and dinghy drivers and boat captain were all fantastic. We were very impressed with the attention to detail and service. Thanks so much.

Monserrat Yacht

Sani Lodge was one of the best experiences we have had. Our guides, Raul and Frank were amazing. They were very patient and knowledgeable. The food at the lodge is delicious. The accommodations were surprisingly clean for it to be in the middle of the rainforest. The excursions were amazing. I wish we had stayed longer!

Sani Lodge

This was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was wonderful. The crew was very attentive, polite, and knowledgeable .  The vessel was very clean and a perfect size. I highly recommend the Koln Yacht!

Koln Yacht

I did a 8 day cruise with Anahí Yacht. Highly recommended them, they take running a tight ship to a whole different level! The staff were extremely professional, everything was on schedule. 
 The meals were amazing and the  beds were turned twice a day ( I know ).  You could definitely see that the service was taken very seriously. 

Anahi yacht

We took an 8-day Galápagos cruise on the yacht Monserrat on 5-12 September 2024.

Before going into details, we feel that 7 or 8 days is really essential for experiencing what the Galápagos offers.  Some reviews of shorter cruises rightly note that the first and last days aren't really full days, so with only a couple of full days on the ship, you won't get a chance to see that much.  Seeing several of the islands really conveys how organisms have evolved differently on each.

Overall, our itinerary was excellent.  We visited several islands, including Fernandina and the north of Isabela, which aren't so frequently visited.  The schedule kept us busy each day with walks on the islands, snorkeling, and occasional kayaking and dinghy rides.

The cabins are small but comfortable.  We'd recommend an upper cabin, as some passengers on the lower deck noted fairly loud engine noise.

The crew was first-rate.  They were organized, courteous, and helpful, always ready to assist with getting wetsuits on and off, providing towels and hot snacks, and keeping the cabins tidy (in fact, housekeeping took place twice a day, which was perhaps not necessary).  The crew also did a great job of tracking everyone while snorkeling, and looking out for the safety of the guests generally.

Food was generally tasty and plentiful.  It was pretty impressive how the cooks managed to feed us all from such a small kitchen.  We might have appreciated more fish and seafood rather than chicken but we were happy with the food overall.  The cooks accommodated one kid's request for grilled cheese sandwiches, which was nice to see.  With 18 passengers during the second half of our cruise, the dining room felt a bit noisy and crowded at times.

There's a small bar on board, but you can also bring your own wine; we brought along a couple of liters of box wine and were glad we did.

The natural world is of course the main attraction in the Galápagos, and an expert guide is a crucial part of understanding it.  For the first four days we had just one guide, and with 12 passengers a second guide would have been ideal.  While our guide clearly had lots of knowledge and expertise (his bird calls drew the birds to us every time!), he could have done better in a couple of respects.  He didn't always understand questions correctly, and rather than ask for clarification, he'd go off on tangents.  The evening briefing to discuss the next day's activities were likewise way too drawn out; the information in them could have been succinctly and clearly conveyed in about 10 minutes, but they usually dragged on for 30 to 45 minutes.

Summing up, the Monserrat was a great way to see the Galápagos.  A cruise lets you travel overnight to some remote and interesting spots, and Monserrat is a small enough ship that everyone can quickly board the dinghies for wildlife viewing and snorkeling.  We're happy we chose it.

I booked a cruise on the Galapagos Alya Yacht through Ecuador Green Travel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The booking process was seamless, and the transfer arrangements were handled flawlessly. The yacht itself was stunning, offering both comfort and luxury. The food was 5 stars, and the excursions were all excellent. Every moment on board was memorable, and the overall experience was simply incredible. Highly recommend Ecuador Green Travel for an unforgettable adventure!

Alya yacht

The cruise was great and there was always something to do. 

The staff and guides went out of their way to make sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable time.

Outstanding the Napo center is fabulous. The food was great. Our naturalist and team were incredible. Everyone was so thoughtful. We Loved it 

Napo Wildlife Center

Very easy coordination 
The airport was easy to navigate and it was well coordibated

Flight tickets Quito - LIma

Ecuador Green Travel did a great job booking me a last minute Galapagos cruise. We paid on Sunday, and cruised on Wednesday! We communicated through email but they were available over the weekend and very responsive. Our flight to the Galapagos was delayed and they advised the ship. The cruise that we were on was outstanding! If you happen to be looking at a cruise on the Grand Queen Beatriz, don't hesitate, just book it. Amazing experience! I am certain you will be pleased booking any tour with Ecuador Green Travel. 

Grand Queen Beatriz yacht

We had a great time at Napo, the lodge was beautiful, the staff friendly and attentive. The wildlife was amazing, we had a great local guide from the community who made sure we saw all there was to see. Definitely would recommend Napo but be prepared for the humidity and mosquitoes! 

With a great team on the Calipso the trip was a fantastic experience! The chef made great food, the dive guides are very experienced and also the rest of the crew did everything to make us happy. A great time.

Calipso diving - 8 Days

This is a high-end resort in the middle of the Amazon forest with great personnel and guides that will explore the jungle, birds, mammals, reptiles and some flora with you, on foot and on canoes. The experience is breath-taking. The comfort of the resort is outstanding, the food excellent. The concept of ecotourism is well respected though I believe power is provided through fossile energy generators. Hikghly recommended.

We had a great time!  Very interesting place to visit.  Saw tons of birds and animals. Enjoyed the kayaking and swimming!   The guides were very knowledgeable and friend.  Food was excellent and accommodations very comfortable.  Really enjoyed the cultural component too.  

Napo Cultural center

The five-day, four-night cruise we took with the Monserrat Yacht turned out to be an excellent experience for my family. 

The crew on board the yacht and the tour guide were very friendly, and we really enjoyed the route which took us to Fernandina Island, Isabela Island, Santiago Island, and North Seymour Island with a quick stop at Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz.

The cabins on the upper deck had big windows to enjoy the scenery, and the beds were very comfortable. The cabins are small, but they had everything we need, and were perfectly fine for the trip.

The meals were pretty good overall, and the vegan members of our group were pleased to find out that the cruise ship could accommodate a vegan diet. There were fully vegan options for every meal. There is definitely room for improvement though in the quality of the vegan food. 

Traveling on a small boat allows for a more friendly and intimate experience because you get to know the crew and all the other passengers. We really like the social aspect of the trip.

We liked how the trip had a great mix of land tours, short hikes, and memorable snorkeling opportunities with sea lions, iguanas, penguins, and huge sea turtles. Amazing!

One suggestion I have for travelers on this yacht ( and for the crew ) is to buy baby shampoo to de-fog the masks when you go snorkeling. The soap that they had for us on the dingies stung our eyes a little bit. 

We were a group of 4 seniors travelling in ecquador to cotapaxi, quiltoa, banos and city tour . Our tour coordinator carlos was very responsive and ran a nice schedule for us, one tour guide that was outstanding is pepe , he is very nice likes what he does and had a lot to say to us to get us to understand flora and the sites were terrific , the guide elizabeth was very nice and gave us a choice to eat at an indian restaurant as we were missing indian food for a week then thx echotravel our tour was very nicely done. 

Land tour and Hotels

We a really great time at Nicky Lodge. The guides and staff at the Lodge are great and very caring.
Accomodation is clean and comfortable. The food was delicious.

All in all we can just highly recommend Nicky Amazon Lodge. 

Same goes for Ecuador Green Travel - Carlos and Joel cared for our Trip very well. Thank you very much 

Nicky Amazon Lodge

Galapagos Legend

The representatives especially in Santa Cruz were very professional. Amparo and her brother helped and assisted us in a very personal and good way. The rest of the trip was very well organized, value for money was excellent, we enjoyed the trip tremendously!
Thank you very much!

Island hopping tour 7 days - 6 nights - Balance payment

We had a fantastic time at the centre. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive and made you feel welcome. Our guide and wildlife expert travelled with us at all times and we’re very knowledgeable and eagle eyed in spotting all the wildlife, birds, and insects in the jungle. It was very humbling to see all this wildlife in a pristine environment not affected by industry of destroyed for farm land. This lodge is a big step towards preserving the AMAZON. All our expectations were exceeded and I would recommend it to anyone. They also have a great selection of Tatoo clothing in their store. 

Napo Wildlife Center - Suite cabin

I had an absolutely amazing experience at the Sani Lodge! Would highly recommend for visiting the Amazon Rainforest. Incredible location, informative, friendly, and excellent guides who went above and beyond to share their vast knowledge and curate a unique experience based on our interests and abilities. It was both safe and adventurous and staff and guides work with you to ensure you are comfortable, cared for, and satisfied. The lodge is owned and operated by the local community -- you get to learn about the ecosystem from them while supporting the local villages.

Delicious meals, running (hot) water, clean amenities, electricity, fantastic bartender (bring cash), tons of ways to see animals (dozens and dozens of bird species, monkeys, river otters, caymen, wild pigs, etc.) depending on your physical ability (long or short hikes and guided canoe trips).

Sani Lodge 2

What a beautiful place, flowers everywhere. Our accommodations were simple but fit the natural setting.  The food was spectacular and service was great. Our guide Henry was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. Highly recommend!!! 

Yarina Lodge

High quality accommodations
great experiences
good to have qualit english speaking guides and better when we had english only groups

Santa Cruz yacht - Fuel surcharge

It was a great holiday! Very nice boat, excellent food, comfy room, friendly people and a very interesting journey! 

Gran Daphne yacht

We did the birdwatching experience and had a wonderful time in spite of the rain!  
The guide was exceptional at locating and identifying birds.  He adjusted the activities to match the weather and opportunities to see wildlife. 
The accommodation was comfortable.  The food was fantastic. The chef provided vegetarian meals that were delicious. 
This was a trip to remember. 

We had a fantastic 8D/7N trip on the Tip Top V boat, eastern route. We found the trip through dealsgalapagos.com which are Ecuador Green Travel. 

Carlos Risueno did a fantastic job from start to finish booking our trip. His communication was spot on, everything was correct, his responses very prompt. I couldn’t fault him at all. The rep who met is in Quito airport was also spot on and helped us get through the 2 additional checks you need before boarding your flight to Galápagos.

The trip itself was fantastic. The boat Tip Top V was definitely first class. The boat was modern and very clean, having been built in 2019. Our cabin was big enough and had everything we needed and a balcony. The food was brilliant; a huge selection for breakfast with something different every day. Every lunch and dinner consisted of 3 courses, all was tasty and well presented. Federico would keep trying to give you more. Then there were snacks after every morning and afternoon activity. I don’t think we had the same thing twice and definitely came away a couple of kilos heavier! 
The crew were very professional and everything was done with care and purpose. The whole boat ran like clockwork, everyone knew their role and couldn’t do enough for you. 
Our original guide unfortunately had a family emergency 2 hours into our trip but the company found a replacement before we’d started the first activity. Felipe did a great job, was informative and kept us on our toes with a busy schedule.
And finally the activities; every day we did combinations of walking, kayaking, snorkelling and boat trips. The days started early at 6am but that just meant we packed more in and beat almost all the other groups to the islands. Everyday we were shattered and in bed by 9pm but that was just because we’d had a great day.

I could write reams about the Galápagos itself but there isn’t space, it is truly a spectacular place and incredible how close you can get to unique wildlife. A personal highlight was swimming with sea-lions.

All in all we couldn’t recommend Ecuador Green Travel and Tip Top V highly enough. If you’re undecided about which companies to go with you can’t go wrong with these.

TipTop V yacht

We had a great experience on the day visiting an indigenous community, a local market, and of course hiking around the gorgeous Quilotoa. We had a great guide and there were about 8 people on our group. 
The reason I give 4 stars is because I don't think the preparation information was very good. For example, when booking the tour I was told we would be back in Quito at 4 or 5pm, so I had made plans for 7:30pm, but we got back at 7pm. When visiting the indigenous community, it would have been helpful to know that it's nice to bring gifts in advance, as we had little change for the market (and couldn't use $20). The difficulty of the hike also could have been mentioned. We did the climb (and enjoyed it), but if I'd know the downhill was so steep, I would have prepared my knees, which are not great and have been hurting since. I also didn't feel the service was overly friendly when booking. 


Quilotoa Lagoon

Fragata Yacht

They ship(Klein tours) mandated we use them for air travel to the islands from the main land. If we did not they would charge $180($90 pp) to book our own.  Even with the fee we could get a cheaper flight on our own, however, we wanted to comply to make it easy for them and booked through the Klein. They would not tell us our flights until a few weeks before hand. Finally, we received a confirmation code. I called the airline with the confirmation code I was given, the airline said we were not on the plane and had no record of us. I told the travel agency and they said its fine don't worry about that the Ship had it handled. The airline said we weren't on the plane and the agency said just don't worry about it. Think about that! We were able to get on our flights however, with alot more stress then is needed. Coral needs to communicate. 

Flight ticktes

This review is for Klein Tours and especially Coral 1. The communication process of booking and planning this trip was horrible. It is so hard to get answers to basic questions. We wanted to arrive a day before our ship left and it was like the end of the world, we were made to sign a document that says we forfeit all activities we missed. This took weeks to request, where they would not tell us a time or place until a week or so before the trip. Then the day before we meet up, we were told by our hotel, the boat had a different time and directions on how and where to meet. 

The itinerary they advertised was different then what we received where we missed destinations and activities. Was supposed to do 4 activities(hikes/snorkels)a day we got 3. We were told we would visit Kicker rock, the brochure in the ship on the table in the main lounge showed us going to Kicker Rock. The final day the guides told us, no we never go to Kicker rock, cruise boats can’t go there. More misleading information. 

Our room had holes in the roof, no AC, no water pressure. The wetsuits that we were forced to purchase had rips in them, they didn't have enough and didn't have the right sizes. The don’t clean the equipment. They don't help you with luggage, they don't accommodate passenger request. No consideration for guest with noise from the crew. We had to search the ship to find a bartender to get a drink on numerous occasions. My wife is a vegetarian and they would bring her meal out(the few time she got one) after everyone was done eating.

Think about that! 

When we were in town everyone was told to meet at the bus to return to the ship at a certain time. Everyone was on time. The guide said we were missing 2 people. Everyone agreed everyone was there. The guide said we have to wait. A family then said to the guide, “our daughter and son n law, did not come and cancelled one day before the trip.” The guide said oh we are waiting for someone else, we just talked to corporate. 30 minutes later after waiting on the bus, the guide comes back and ask the family the names of the guest who did not come. Then the guide says oh we can go, corporate made a mistake, that’s who we were waiting on. The communication and poor execution was never ending.

I can go on with examples of poor management, poor customer service, bad communication. But I will say, the Galapagos as a whole is beautiful and amazing. The guest we meet on the boat were great. The guide we had was really knowledgeable and nice. 
 
But I have no idea how Klein tours and these 3 boats are staying in business with the frustration they cause. Frustration that can easily be eliminated with simple communication. It was almost like they purposely did not tell us things so they could take shortcuts and save money.


Coral Yacht

As I was diving with other boat, I can say that Calipso is amazing. the cabin is so nice, big, with an amazing view, tv, wifi... 
Decks are also really nice with 4 hot showers ! 
The staff was fantastic. We can see that they love their job and they tried everytime to do something nice for us. 
Daniel And Sebastian our dive guides were so great, trying to do their best everyday, funy and carying.
We were eating all the Time, after each dive also... We had a barbecue on the sun deck, so great! 
All the surprises and gifts were very appreciated. 
Concerning diving, it’s the best place i have ever dove. 

Diving on board the Calipso Yacht

We loved our time cruising around the Galapagos on the Nemo III ship! Great service, wonderful staff, good company, delicious food, and of course, the sightseeing with so many different animals! 

Nemo 3 yacht

We were on a Holiday with 8 friends in Ecuador for two weeks. We booked a bus with driver for 8 days to bring us from Quito to Montañita. This was really amazing! 
Our driver Marco was the best driver in the world, he told us a lot about Ecuador, always dropped us off safely and he was very friendly. It was an amazing experience for all of us. 

Thank you so much, I would highly recommend everyone in Ecuador to contact you because it was an amazing service. 

Land trip around Andes and Coast

The trip was great. The crew was friendly,accommodating,and happy to help. The food was fresh and the chef made dishes to satisfy people with dietary requirements. Walter the naturalist guide was friendly and helpful. He planned activities and kept the guests busy with snorkeling and viewing wildlife. The cabins were kept clean and well maintained as with the rest of the boat. 
  The only bad experience was with the flight from the islands to Quito. At the last moment as we were going to board the plane we and another couple were bumped off the flight for no reason except to accommodate some last minute passengers. We purchased the tickets in advance and had boarding passes in our hands! I guess it doesn't matter once the airline has your money. Shame on LATAM airlines.
  Carlos who booked the trip for us was very helpful and friendly. All things considered, it was a great experience.

Beagle yacht and flight tickets

The travel agent Ecuador Green Travel was excellent, very accommodating and helpful. The yacht and crew were fantastic. Entertaining and fun. Food was great. Rooms and decks clean. Had a wonderful time. Highly recommended for price and value!

Darwin yacht

Great fellow travelers and friendly crew. The ship was clean, the excursions fun, and the islands magnificent.

Carlos was great in answering my emails promptly and courteously.

Would highly recommend this yacht and Carlos.

Our 5 day trip on the Santa Cruz yacht was the best way to experience the Galapagos. The naturalists on board were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and great to be around. We learned so much. The food is absolutely incredible and the service is impeccable. I felt like we were eating a fancy Christmas dinner every single meal. I really enjoyed the chef's variety of soups throughout the trip. Thankfully, we did so many activities to burn off all the wonderful food we enjoyed! The Santa Cruz is a great ship and you will not be disappointed. 

Santa Cuz yacht

Fantastic trip. The yacht Darwin is basic equpid, but the staff is amazing. The chef of the kitchen is creating all time some bites with a helping hand of his fb manager! The crew is driving you with a motor boat to all kind of beaches and panorama tours also on individual requests and interests! for snorklers is a must! 16 person is not to big group and everything is giving a filling as at the small family.

Wonderful staff, loved the food, the guide was the best! loved it all. I cannot wait to return. 

Seaman yacht

 We had  a unique experience; the guides were very knowlegable  and attentive. The crew members caring, efficient and pleasent. The chefs provided us with a gourmet  food wich easily could be served in best restaurants.  In addition I want to thank you for the efficient service at the Quito airport which was very helpful.
I and my wife were very pleasantly surprised, since we didn't expected  that sort of standard.
Thank you !!!
Yours,
Aviram and Regina Netzer 

Coral yacht 2ND PAX

It was really AMAZING! Best decision ever to book this trip! Everything was excellent! They made our trip unforgettable! 
Extra thanks to Darwin Alvarez, the best guide you could wish for! 

Nemo 2 yacht

Fantastic. The crew, excursions, facilities, safety and the guide were all perfect. 
The only negative was the tipping. It is not in our Australian culture, and we paid a lot for the cruise, so we were a bit confused about if we should or needed to tip. In Australia we do not generally tip as our minimum wage is very good. I understand this is not the case in America so tipping is pretty much mandatory. We did not think we needed to tip in Ecuador though, thus the confusion. 
All in all it was an amazing trip though.
