  We were on Celebrity Cruise lines - the Flora. They had EVERYTHING arranged for pandemic travel - and the costs of tests (2 PCR & 1 ANTIGEN) was included. The... read more doctors came to the hotel in Quito. It was an unforgettable experience with the naturalists telling us all about the land, the animals, the birds and the vegetation. The ship was beautiful and environmentally friendly. The food was stellar and they supplied snacks each time you arrived back from any excursion. It was all inclusive and the staff did a fantastic job! What I would have liked before the trip was a detailed list of what to bring to wear and use so I have placed it here. It was not super hot in Quito at that time of year, so one pair of shorts was plenty. You will need sunglasses, sunscreen and hats - the hats should be tight fitting or should have a string to put under your chin or they will blow off on Zodiac rides. My husband used a soft baseball hat while snorkeling. Capris or pants with zipper pockets are a must (to put your key card and other items in). A one piece bathing suit is important (not a tankini with a skirt or shorts) because the one piece will fit better under the wetsuit for snorkeling. Light long sleeve shirts and pants are important - it is windy during the Zodiac rides to shore. Water socks for the wet landings were also indispensable and we had a small bag for wet items to store them in once they were wet so nothing else in the backpack got wet. We carried a small backpack onto land with one bottle of water (not one each as that was too heavy - the bottles were supplied by Celebrity and were refillable to save the environment - nice touch). One pair of track shoes and one pair of hiking shoes will do the trick for excursions and sandals or flip flops are great to have on the ship or on the beach. At night on the ship, having a small over the shoulder purse for carrying a camera and key card is nice. I took 2 sundresses and a pair of black pants with blouses and that was fine for the evenings. Finally, a couple of suggestions: If you are going to snorkel, buy an underwater camera - the pictures you can take of the marine life, such as turtles, are amazing. A camera with at least a 30X zoom for land shots is a must. Learn to snorkel and kayak before you go as you will have more options for excursions and you will be able to participate fully.

Therefore I did scuba dive with sharks, sea turtles, sea lions and... read more hundreds of fishes at Seymour, Mosquera and Daphne islands. Hotel was very comfortable with a beautiful sight of the sea. Also I visited Bartolomé Island, Tortuga Bay beach and Bahía de los Perros.

Food was delicious at the entire island and Angermeyer restaurant is one of a kind.

People in the islands are very kind and is 100% secure to travel despide of the coronavirus. Security is amazing cause there aren’t robbers.

I totally recommend this experience!!

The experience on the Ocean Spray was not that. While our guide was amazing (Morris!!!), the rest of the staff was not only aloof, but sometimes rude. Ugh! After eating for three weeks at very nice restaurants and on board the Aqua Nera in the Amazon, the food on board was "okay"/"average". And the final insult was on the second to last day....when the tips are outlined. We were on the boat for four days and were told that the tips expected would be $400 for the staff and $200 for our guide. The $200 for the guide...no problem. But the $400 for the staff...for four days? Totally inappropriate and I was sorely disappointed. I left $100. Yes, I overpaid based on our experience, but wanted to leave something. c'est la vie.

Our experience was amazing, and everything was so well organized that we could just enjoy it without any worries.
The boat was very comfortable, and the staff were amazing. The food was good, everything was always clean, the panga drivers were very skilled and everyone was so attentive to our needs. Our naturalist, Richard Ruiz, was great. He was very organized, knowledgeable, and responsive to everyone's needs and expectations.
Rodrigo also helped us organize transport around Quito, and our driver was also great - always on time, very kind and a good driver.
If you are organizing a trip to the Galapagos and Ecuador, I highly recommend contacting Rodrigo at Galapagos Natural Life.

When we returned from a great 12 day trip, Anahi was the perfect 16 passenger boat, he was at the airport to meet us again. The personal service was never ending. He and the Anahi were the best.
The Naturalist Gallo was very knowledgeable and catered to all the guest. I couldn't think how this could have worked out better . I highly recommend Rodrigo.
