Excellent wildlife adventure

The G Adventures staff were extremely attentive to guest safety and comfort. On each excursion, we saw wildlife up-close and learned about their evolution and habitat. It was beyond exciting to see these magnificent creatures in their natural environment. The baby sea lions were my favorite.

Full interactive immersion and relaxation in nature and comfort.

Alternating hiking and snorkeling activities, combined with fresh healthy and fulfilling meals, are expertly coordinated and managed. Julian's passion for sharing his knowlege and love of his native natural environment, the hospitality and dedication of the crew made this a truly wonderful experience.

The focus of this cruise was to enjoy and sustain the beauty and wonder of the nature of the Galapagos. In between activities the staff of Yolita II welcomed us to a clean, nourishing, hospitable and restful haven.l

Overall a great experience with the wildlife, even though disappointed with some aspects of the Yolita.

Overall, it was a great experience. The wildlife was exceptional and really enjoyed that. I was disappointed with the “upgraded” Yolita. Expected much better food..the vegetables were good, but the proteins were always overcooked and tough and cold. I expected better quality mattress toppers and bedding and towels for an upgraded ship. Did not like the handoff of the first day guide in Galapagos and should have had onlyone guide there. Did not enjoy the first day in Galapagos after a 4AM start, did not want long hike.

Our guide Milton was really great. The wildlife was awesome, especially snorkelling and tortoises. Good active schedule.

It was very good - especially with the guide and with the guy responsible for the meals to serve etc.

The food was also good. 3 nights I think, are to short aboard - I believe 4- 5 nights would be better. The highlights of cause were the scenery.
