This Trip Was Out Of This World Extraordinary!
My husband and I went on an 8 day cruise on Natural Paradise. We were the 3rd cruise. Yacht is shiny and new. Staff r all professional, smiley, accommodating and present everywhere. This trip was out of this world extraordinary! No regrets just bring Dramamine. I took a 1/2 a pill every night. Since it's not a ship, u will feel rocking a bit more on this boat.

The Trip Was Excellent And Very Relaxing
Did 8 day route A with my wife in January 2017. Loved the trip. Naturalist, Hernan, was great. Funny guy and very knowledgeable. All the staff/crew on the board were very nice and accommodating, especially Sebastian and Luis. They always had a smile on their face and happy to help you. The itinerary was a bit repetitive but I was already expecting this for the Galapagos. The company doesn't choose your itinerary - the national park does. It is a very protected park and you'll pretty much have the same itinerary with any cruise company in the Galapagos. It is mostly snorkelling and short walks around islands to view wildlife. You're not going to be doing any extreme activities and there is nothing strenuous about the walks or snorkeling. My wife doesn't know how to swim and was able to snorkel every day without a lifejacket during the trip. The wetsuits help you float and wtih the mask on, you don't really need to know how to swim. Doggy paddling can get you around. They will also be keeping a close eye on you from the two panga's and come help you if anything were to come up. We saw a ton of tropical fish, rays, starfish, reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, and a Galapagos penguin while we were snorkeling. Food was great. Always plentiful and a good variety. Nothing fancy but it was good. There were a couple nights where we had barbeques on the sun deck, and there was steak and shrimp. There was always snacks after returning from excursions. Coffee, different varieties of tea, and water was always available 24/7. Hot tub on the sun deck wasn't available 24/7 but was decent for the most part. The water doesn't really get hot enough but this was acceptable given the heat of the sun anyways.
The rooms were cleaned and tidied up like several times/day. We had a balcony suite but didn't really end up using it much because we were outdoors so much already - and the sun deck is nice. Shower pressure was alright and there seemed to be enough hot water most of the time. At night, you can see a ton of stars so make sure to go on the sun deck at least one night. Our fellow travel shipmates were all great and that's also a very important factor of what will make the trip memorable. Of course this is just luck of the draw but we happened to be lucky.
Overall, the trip was excellent and very relaxing. My wife & I are relatively active people and usually dont like cruises. We usually go backpacking and plan out our own itineraries but you can't really do that in the Galapagos. In my opinion, this cruise was a perfect combination of light activities, sightseeing/photography and relaxation. There's not going to be any adrenaline situations here but we still enjoyed it.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
