Was an experience of a life time, the food and hospitality on board exceptional.

We had a great time on this trip. The environment was intimate enough to get to know the other passengers pretty well and they were all very interesting. The boat and accommodations were comfortable and the food was great. Most of all our guide was superb and so knowledgeable. And a bonus was meeting and getting to know the owners of Enchanted Expeditions who joined us for the second half of our trip. Our only small disappointment was that there was absolutely no internet available while cruising. We were prepared for it to be limited-perhaps to a few stops along the way. But there was none and that was a bit stressful because we were unable to even check-in with clients and other stakeholders for the entire week (until we arrived at the lodge). By the way the lodge stay although short was lovely as well. It is a beautiful property and the town nearby included several lovely galleries and dining choices. We will happily tell others that we know that Enchanted is a great choice for seeing this part of the Galapagos.

The Hotel Garden San Jose, recommended by Debora at Enchanted Expeditions, was lovely and appropriately named. Spacious rooms, a nice spa (hot tub, sauna, steam room) and above all, beautiful landscaping throughout the property with mature trees and flowering shrubs. Breakfast could be improved upon (ask for machine espresso coffee) with more plant-based options, but we enjoyed our dinners and had a great experience overall.
