CORMORANT CATAMARAN

I recently traveled on the Cormorant Catamaran through the itinerary "B" (the western loop) of the Galapagos Archipelago. In short, the trip was amazing, fantastic, spectacular and most other similar adjectives you could use to describe it. The crew of the Cormorant was attentive beyond belief. The naturalist, Grace, was so knowledgeable regarding the animal and plant life we were able to view.. Her patience was amazing in dealing with some of the needy passengers, including some within my own group. The boat itself was as advertised- a luxury yacht. The food was gourmet for sure with so many options to satisfy most any dietary needs.

This trip would not have been possible without the help of Diana Endara at the Galapagos Travel Center. Admittedly, Covid and all the testing protocols in the United States, as well as Ecuador and the Galpagos Islands, made the trip logistics extra complicated. Our group of four couples, all of whom have traveled extensively abroad, still needed help getting to the Galapagos Islands and back to the United States. We lost one couple to the flu the day before departure, which was a negative. Diana answered our many logistical questions and was so professional. I highly recommend contacting Diana to help with any of your Galapagos trip bookings. She will help design a trip which fits your specific group or individual needs. She is great!

Lillian,

The cruise was brilliant!

Harry Jimenez the guide was great and the crew were excellent. The itinerary was extremely varied and interesting, the food was very good and the Cormorant very spacious and practical in every way.

We also met two nieces of the Cormorant owner ,who were both delightful.

Could you pass on to their uncle how pleased we were with the cruise too, please.

Salud,

Dear Marcia and GalapagosIslands.com,

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this trip!

The boat, The Cormorant, the crew and the naturalist, George Garcia were all excellent in their services, accommodations, and nature information.

I had requested this specific trip so that we could celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and the crew did not let us down. On his birthday we arrived back to the boat after a morning of snorkeling and the entire room was decorated with balloons, streamers, and the towels were formed into a birthday cake! This was so special. Beyond my expectations. The main dinning lounge was also decorated with balloons and streamers. All of the other guest were wonderful too, helping us celebrate all day long.

Galapagos Islands.com staff were efficient and available to answer any question. All of our special requests were provided. There was noting that was a problem.

Thank you for a wonderful trip. You are welcome to post this review on your new web site. I would also be happy to post something separately.
Sincerely,

Jan

Dear Lilian, we have returned from our trip and I want to thank you for everything! We had an amazing time, the Cormorant was beautiful and the crew were great. Our naturalist was fantastic and we saw so many amazing things and had so many great adventures.

Everything was well-organized, we were met for all our transfers with someone holding our name up on a sign, the hotels were very nice. You handled everything for us and answered so many questions so we were well-prepared.

Thank you so much for making our trip memorable.

Thanks again!
