A Galapagos Cruise on board the Evolution
- Fantastic ambiance and luxury
- Superb naturalist itineraries
- Great extras like "glass bottom" kayaks!
The Motor Vessel Evolution is, in our opinion, the most charming yacht in the Galapagos fleet. At almost 200 feet long, she is definitely a "mega yacht", and yet she has been designed to evoke the heyday of the luxury steamers - the 1920s and 1930s. Despite her vintage looks, she's actually a cutting edge vessel, designed and built in Japan in 2005 to the latest in marine safety and technology standards.

An Excellent Experience In The Galapagos
We enjoyed an excellent experience in the Galapagos, on the MV Evolution, in early March 2018. The boat was, we thought, perfect, with enough room for everyone, good rooms and facilities, and an expert, friendly crew. The vessel cruises around the Islands, so every day we had new places to explore on land, on and under the sea. The wildlife was spectacular, and the experience was heightened by the two experienced and very approachable wildlife experts who were always out with us. Both experts were local people who were clearly committed to the ecology of the Galapagos, very inspiring. Perhaps I should say that my wife and I aren’t regular wildlife tourists, and we found the experts very illuminating, as did several more committed wildlife guests on our trip.
The bar area, and service on board was always welcoming; the food was a good standard, with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables; in fact all the food was tasty and reasonably healthy.
The off vessel trips were all very well organized, with careful attention paid to safety, while giving guests the freedom to experience the delights of Galapagos’ nature. There were a couple of moderately steep hikes that taxed older guests, but the vast majority of off vessel experiences were very accessible to all; and of course no one had to go on very trip.Lional & Jackie Knight, 24th March 2018

Priceless Experience
From the time of first booking the trip to the Galapagos to leaving the M/V Evolution, it could not have been a more efficient or thoughtful service. Their recommendation for the Wyndham Hotel in Guayaquil was solid. The size of the ship was optimal, I thought, especially as our fellow passengers were a genial bunch. It was comfortable, the crew were professional and the meals were enjoyable. The day tours were conceived to show the maximum amount of the wonderful islands, and our nature guides were superb.

Amazing Trip Of A Life Time!!!
Amazing trip of a life time!!!
We have a daughter with severe anaphylaxis to dairy, nuts, and peanuts. The crew on the Evolution served us safe and delicious foods and even stocked the ship with dairy free snacks!
Only complaint is that we were unable to take home a blue footed boobie. I think if we could just taken home the baby sea lion with whom we swam, it would have been a perfect trip :)Sharzad Sheibani, 29th December 2017
