5-Day Galapagos Islands Cruise: Itinerary A (West) aboard the Monserrat Yacht

Excellent experience and one of the best organized adventures I’ve done. Crew was amazing, so organized. Naturalist were knowledgeable and personable. Hiking, snorkeling and other activities were amazing. Food was great! Would highly recommend and would do another trip with this company.

Our Galapagos cruise on the mid-size Monserrat yacht was wonderful, from the outstanding, solicitous crew and our two knowledgeable local park guides to the friendly, adventurous folks from around the world who sailed with us on our trip. We quickly became a family as we trekked across the western islands of the Galapagos and snorkeled in the chilly waters to view and interact with the amazingly docile and curious land and sea creatures that live there. This was the trip of a lifetime for us, and we are grateful to Monserrat for helping us achieve our dream of visiting the unique Galapagos islands.

This is your sign to book the cruise right now! My husband and I did Route A + B + C and had the most AMAZING time! We have been backpacking for a while, and the Galápagos Islands were the “vacation” portion within our travels. I have always wanted to come since I was a child, and it was beyond my wildest imagination – a big part of that was going with Monserrat! We were so incredibly spoiled and felt like royalty. All of the activities ran so smoothly, and we were very impressed with the organization of everything. It’s the people that truly make this cruise – the staff are all incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgable. We learned so much and saw a diverse array of animals and landscapes alike. This was absolutely a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget! It’s 1000% worth the price tag. Also, out of the sections we did, we found A to be our favorite. I highly suggest going for at least 2 legs, as it will give you a better chance to see wildlife, fauna and anything else you want so see. In route A we swam with hammerhead sharks, white tip reef sharks, marine iguanas, penguins, sea lions, and colorful fish just to name a few. On land we saw both land and marine iguanas, sea lions, giant tortoises, blue footed boobies, nazca boobies, Galapagos hawk, penguins, flightless cormorants, frigates, finches, lava lizards, flamingos and so much more.
