The boat and crew were terrific and our Galapagos guide outstanding.

Asher Tulsky

EcoGalaxy is a very professional operation. Everything is always punctual, the crew is always happy, and you can tell that they enjoy working together.

Robert Murphy

The EcoGalaxy was tremendous. The cabin was spacious as was the rest of the boat. Amazing crew and a tremendous naturalist. The food was fantastic and we met some really great people. The smaller size was definitely the right way to go.
