Excellent ship and great guides and staff, if you can stay on the top level as the bottom level rooms are a bit small.

Three days, was just to short. What with swimming with dolphins, sealions and sharks and rays and massive schools of sardines and seeing the iguanas, finches, tortoises, seabirds and the very unique vegetation, it couldn't have been better. The crew and guides were great and the people on our cruise were a great mix.

Again, muchisimo gracias por un viaje extraordinario!!

Ivonne,

First, you and Columbus travel did a great job. Thank you.

The Coral 1 also did a good job. I would be happy to recommend it to others considering a trip to the islands. We were also fortunate to have been assigned some really great guides. I came to understand the Park Service itself assigns the guides. We were lucky to have gotten a couple of their more senior people both of whom were assigned at the last minute - Victor Hugo and Jonathan Aguas S.

Thanks again.

Fernanda,

The hotels were great and the Coral II excellent as well. I particularly wanted to single out the lead naturalist on board, Lobo, who was just amazing. His knowledge and passion for sharing his knowledge was truly remarkable. We met some others later on the trip who had followed the same itinerary in a different boat, and in comparing notes, found that our experience was a superior one entirely due to the efforts of Lobo.

Thank you again and my aplolgies for waiting so long to send this.

Best regards,

Just got back from spending 3 nights on Coral I at the end of August, 2008. The boat was lovely. The food was fabulous and the Naturalists and crew were great. We paid for a top room on the ship and it was a great size. I will say that the seas were rough when we were there (May should not be) and the first night was a tough one for all passengers. I am getting married this fall and I am glad this was not my honeymoon trip. I am hoping for something a bit less scheduled. This is definitely a trip where you will wake up early every morning and do casual site seeing of the islands. The wildlife is fantastic and I especially loved the snorkeling.

Hi Christian –

Thank you so much for your note. We had a FABULOUS time! The boat, our naturalist Victor Hugo, and the entire staff were absolutely terrific people, and a joy to travel with. Thanks for putting together such a smooth and easy travel experience for us. We will highly recommend you to all our friends as they plan their Galapagos trips!

Thanks again for your great planning and service while on our trip.

I was on the Coral I yacht this past year and had a fantastic time!

Being a smaller vessel, i found the accommodations to be much more intimate than some of the other larger vessels out there (like the explorer or legend).
