REVIEWS
Thanks for your great advice!
I'm now back in Hong Kong (unfortunately)
and reality, and just
wanted to pass on to you firstly, sincere thanks for your help
in organising our brilliant Galapagos trip - and secondly,
comments on
how fantastic the boat Monserrat
turned out to be!!
The moment we stepped onto the deck I was
entirely convinced that the little extra we paid was well worth it!
The boat trip was a lovely journey that
was comfortable, friendly, easy and fun!
The staff were lovely, and the fellow
guests were like us, in
search of a friendly, happy atmosphere that was comfortable yet
intimate.
The
size was perfect, as the first 4 days we spent with only 6
others. We were then joined by a further 5 for the last 4 days, which
initially felt like our little "family" was being intuded upon, but
after about 10 minutes we enjoyed the company of the new joiners and
all felt like one big happy family! 16 is definitely the largest number
on a boat I would recommend, only because it's the most number of
people that I would suggest would be comfortable on the land
excursions. Plus it makes the boat a much friendlier experience.
I am so happy that we didn't go for a
larger or smaller boat! The
size was roomy, and our cabin on the top deck had huge windows and a
large bathroom - it was way better than I expected. There was
plenty of
deck space, sun decks, interior lounge space and sun space - never to
crowded to enjoy a secluded moment on a deck chair with a book, in sun
or shade.
The food was good. The guide was great,
and everything was wonderful.
I would whole-heartedly recommend
Monserrat to any body, I would
also suggest that it really wouldn't be worth going if you don't do the
8 day cruise as the first 4 days were definitely the best, but also
that 4 days just didn't seem long enough. After the first 4 days I
was
so happy that we still had 4 more to go! So did Keara - who was without
a doubt just as happy as I was to spend 8 days in the galapagos. I was
concerned that a 5 year old may get bored, but she totally loved it!
Anyway, that's about it. Thanks again for
your help.
If any of my friends are looking for
help, I'll send them in your direction!
Best regards!
Toni and Keara

send you a short comment about our trip on monserrat from 20.-27. june
2010 galapgos.
the price
1300 usd for this boat was ok, I say I wouldn't pay much more, perhaps
1500 as a limit. but for this price everything ok.
good food,
much food, nice crew, very friendly, good guide (andres) but not every
time on this boat so I don't know how the others are.
as you
said, the first part (if you make a 5 day tour) was the better part for
take fotos, the second part was more active (walking, possibility to go
to the "city") so for us the 8 day trip was perfect.
the room
on monserrat are clean, twice a day service (rubbish)- for snorkeling
you get towels too (big towels, very good). the toilet is clean and
everytime hot water for take a shower. to take sunbath enough place on
the sundeck. dvd available, books and some games.
a very
reasonable price, if you like to know any other details you can write
me a mail and I will answer you the questions.
