Dear Diana,
My husband and I have returned home to Australia now, and I would just like to thank you for helping us to organise a truly wonderful tour of Galapagos. We had a wonderful time. The replacement boat, Seaman Journey, was excellent. The naturalist guide, Marco Vizcaino, was fantastic. The whole crew was great; the food very good; the cabin extremely comfortable; and all the other guests were very nice. It would have been difficult to improve anything. I can highly recommend this boat and guide for any future clients you may be in touch with.
Thank you for your excellent and very professional service at every stage of our planning for this tour. You did a wonderful job!! I will certainly recommend you and your company to friends who may be interested in touring Galapagos.
best wishes,
Janette

Hi Lilian,
We are home from our amazing trip and very sad not to be lounging on a boat with beautiful views and the most amazing crew.
I can't thank you enough for all of your help in the planning stages. Everyone in the group agrees this was the best vacation we've ever had. The crew spoiled us and took such good care of us. I can't say enough about the quality of food, the special care they took to cook for the various special dietary needs and just their overall effort to fulfill any request. I've definitely been spoiled and am ready to come back.
Please pass along our thanks to the Seaman crew. And please know how much we appreciated all of your help organizing and answering our numerous questions.

Hi Peter,
We had a fantastic time in the Galapagos. It was a very special trip as we got engaged! Damien asked me while we were out snorkeling one day and had just seen a shark.
Crew on Seaman II was excellent. The food was delicious and plentiful. The itinerary was good, the snorkeling and land excursions were fun and interesting, and we felt 5 days on the boat was enough for us.
We thought the additional cost of the wetsuits should have been included in the trip, especially at that time of the year when it's known for the water to be cold. Also, it would have been helpful to have more assistance and instruction on our first snorkeling session, how to properly wear mask etc., and the types of animals we would see and how they would act around us (ie that sea lions will come blow bubbles in your face and this is just them being playful).
Another passenger on the boat had told us they may do this, so I wasn't nervous when it happened, but our guide did not tell us about any of that.
Overall it was an aw

Dear Lilian,
I've just returned from my Galapagos trip and I wanted to let you know that it was wonderful. Thank you so much for helping me organise it. The Seaman was a fantastic choice of boat and the crew and guide were just great. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you again. This has been a real highlight of my whole time in South America.
All the best,
Melanie Geelan
