Golondrina MOTOR BOAT

The Golondrina has the most complete on-board services of all of the Basic Gringo yachts and as such offers excellent value for money. It also runs a nice itinerary - the standard north and south loop as well as a trip up to the northern and little-visited but interesting island of Genovesa.

"Great tour - definately worth doing the 8days as I saw so much more!" (Evelyn, Canada)

"Thoroughly enjoyable tour and excellent value too."
(Ralf, Switzerland)

"The boat, rooms, food and staff were all great! I would recommend against doing 5day itinerary "A" though because the final night in the hotel takes time away from the tour and is a raw deal."
(Carrie, USA)

"Our 8day cruise on the Golondrina was fantastic. The boat was lovely with good facilities and with 14 people aboard it was the perfect size group to get to know our fellow passengers." (Emma Fawcett)
