The Galapagos Islands - Ecuador
TRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS

 Estrella de Mar MOTOR BOAT

A wonderful boat - popular service, nice facilities, and an itinerary that shows passengers all of the traditional highlights as well as a twist which takes you a little away from the tourist trail to the east side of Isabela Island. Our clients usually give great feedback about this boat!

"Fantastic trip - thanks so much for your help organising it all!" (Aaron, Australia)

"A very impressive yacht ... the staff and guide could not have been more helpful, food was delicious, and the wildlife was beyond expectations" (Jim, USA)

"I'm so happy I chose the Estrella del mar because it was exactly the right balance between comfort and practicality - not unnecessarily luxurious but with a wonderful cheery crew, great food (and lots of it) and the best guide in the Galapagos! I feel so priviledged to have visited such a wonderful place and would recommend this boat to anyone."
(Mary, UK)

"It was a great cruise - we really enjoyed it! The boat was nice with larger cabins and beds than expected, good food, nice crew, and the guide had great knowledge of the flora and fauna. The Galapagos was a great end to our trip!"
(Jos and Jolanda, Holland)
