Treasure Galapagos Cruise

The Treasure Is A Wonderful Boat

Overall, the trip was amazing. The Galapagos truly is such a special place.

The Treasure is a wonderful boat. It all looked very new from the inside (probably since it was recently refurbished). The rooms were a good size with enough storage space and the balcony was an added bonus for looking out/drying clothes. So glad we chose a small boat - some of the bigger boats had 5-6 zodiacs coming and landing on the islands at one time! The Treasure was the perfect size. Only issue in the room was blocked drains in the toilet and a very loud air con.

The staff were excellent. Everything thing was very efficient - meals were severed promptly on time, all the decks were constantly cleaned and the whole ship was kept in very good order during our stay.

The food was delicious with a wide ranging menu. Portions were plentiful. The bar was well stocked.

The guide was good. He spoke very good English so communication was clear. He was always punctual which meant our excursions ran right on time and he made an extra effort to make sure we were the only ones on the islands. I appreciated the fact that he encouraged us to help him pick up plastic on one of the beaches - gave us a good sense of how bad the plastics problem is even as remote as Galápagos. I felt his level of enthusiasm was a bit low though. Also he changed the schedule on the last day for not apparent reason ( swapped Tortuga Bay for a town visit).

The excursions were generally good. Highlight of course was Española. We were the only ones there and it was truly magical. Floreana post office was not so good (didn’t go all the way to see a post office !). However on that trip we did some snorkelling with some large sea turtles which was nice. Would have liked to snorkel at devils crown (we sailed right past it) but for some reason we did not stop and snorkeled instead a little ahead ( no fish really to see but there were many playful sea lions). Santa Fe was nice for the land iguanas although we could not snorkel as the National park had apparently closed the site off due to some shark attacks.

I think overall the itinerary could have included some more interesting stops - we ended up with a lot of time at the harbour (day 4 we were at the harbour by noon).

Overall we are very happy - both with the trip and with all the help you provided us in planning. Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful responses. I will certainly recommend you and your company to any friends heading to the Galapagos.

Cheers,

We Had A Great Time!

We just returned from a 4 night 5 day cruise and had a great time! Staff is very smiley and helpful although they spoke very little English. Food was good with lots of variety - some stuff better than others but certainly never left the table hungry. They noticed and even made a special grilled cheese sandwich for my son when he wasn't feeling well and missed a meal, which was very observant and thoughtful. Our itinerary included 3 snorkel outings and at least one island hike a day. Our guide Maria was fantastic, her English was very good and her passion and knowledge for the animals and various islands was outstanding. The boat was in decent shape, things were a bit worn and tired, but overall clean. Our room was bigger than expected with our own bathroom and private balcony. Bar drinks were very expensive, and hot tub was only filled once. Overall we had a great time and had a wonderful group of other vacationers which made it all the better!
