It Was Fabulous In Every Way!!!
Hi Babett! It was fabulous in every way!!! The cruise itself was top notch - GREAT boat, staff, food, fellow passengers, etc.
The guide was amazingly knowledgeable and patient and kept us very busy. We did 4-5 activities each day in two different locations. Lots of snorkeling in great spots, seeing rays (even a manta), sharks, penguins, sea lions, eels, lots of turtles, and a billion fish. It seemed like we saw slightly different things at each snorkeling and hiking location.
The boat was beautiful and the stateroom with balcony was even nicer than expected. The boat could have accommodated twice as many passengers comfortably - lots of open deck space. I can’t recommend the boat highly enough.
And diving in Puerto Ayora was great! Academy Bay Diving ended up putting me in a boat with Albatross Diving (next door) since only a a couple of us signed up, which was fine. I got lucky on the first day of diving at N Seymore - blue skies, calm and warm water, and sharks, rays and eels... even some hammerheads! Since the two dives were so good - and based on other diver’s reviews of current conditions at Gordon Rocks - I decided not to dive a second day.
If you ever need a recommendation for a hotel in Puerto Ayora, we suggest La Isla. It’s less than a year old, very nice and priced well for how nice it is. The owners are very nice and helpful.
I really appreciate your help and tips! You helped make this the perfect vacation!!!!
Thank you!

It Was Simply Great
My wife and I have been traveling around the world for 40 years and myself for 60 both of agree this was one of the best experiences we have ever had.
I was lucky enough to spend 8 days on the Alia-- This is an experience of a lifetime.
Figured that this boat would have the best guides and they did Maria del Carmen Ramos is the guide you want for any trip to the Galapagos. They use induction cooking so some of the protein is firmer than it needs to be but just sitting on the top deck and having a brandy or port before dinner is heaven on earth.
Please don't let the nit pickers of this world ruin what will be a incredible life changing moment in your's.

Exceptional
Hello Galapatours - My husband and I were also on the Alia - 8 night cruise ending in San Cristobal, and I must it was exceptional. We thought everyone on the Alia was wonderful, including, if not especially Lisette. We thought she did a marvelous job with everything! I thought the ship was beautiful and well appointed. We have been on our share of boats and traveled extensively around the world and we feel that our needs were catered to. We also thought Maria our naturalist was exceptional, she was very knowledgeable about the islands. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who might want to leave some of our common comforts behind and just enjoy being submerged in nature. The ship is hardly roughing it, but it is a ship. I loved it and I especially thought very highly of Lisette and her dedication to making all of us comfortable.
