The Galapagos Islands - Ecuador
TRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS

 Darwin MOTOR BOAT

One of our most recommended boats as it repeatedly gets great feedback from our clients and offers a very good price for a Standard Gringo vessel with it's level of service. Really excellent value!

"We had a great time. The boat was quite luxurious, the meals were great and the staff really friendly. The trip was definately one of the highlights of our year of travel!" (Niamh, Karen and Orla, Ireland)

"I would thoroughly recommend the Darwin to anyone. You couldn't really ask for anything more from a boat - it was clean and comfortable. The highlight though was the food - the chef was fantastic!"
(Chris, UK)

"Everyone on the yacht (guide, captain, crew) aimed to please. If you can do the 8-day rather than 4 or 5 days then do it - it's worth it!"
(Randy & family, USA)

"The boat was lovely, and the crew were all extremely professional, friendly and well-organised. It was the most enjoyable 8 days and I can find no fault in the trip whatsoever!" (Sue Fisher, UK)
