Over all this is an average experience due to the lack of effort being put into it. For example food was average, over cooked and use of instant eggs speaks for its self. Beds had bed bugs, The last day was rushed for no reason, and should be excluded as it was pointless to see a farm eith turtles after just seeing them the day before at the darwin museum. You personal activity level should include being able to walk or "hike" with out a walking stick. If you can jump or at least jog this trip is to active for you. I don't recommend intrepid due to a lack of clear communication, over promis and under delivering. If i was to do this again I would use a local agent.

What an amazing trip. This was a celebration for our Golden Wedding anniversary. We saw and visiting almost every Galápagos island, we snorkeled, we hiked and we learnt so much. The stay on the Grand Daphne was great.

The Ultimate Galapagos Central Islands (Grand Daphne) experience exceeded all of our expectations. We believe the combination of the smaller group size, smaller boat, excellent crew and amazing guide significantly enhanced the Galapagos experience. Each island offered something unique to see and discover. The snorkeling was amazing and the many photo and video opportunities will ensure lasting memories of this once in a lifetime trip. Everything since our arrival in Quito was well organized, safe and fun.

The Ultimate Galapagos trip was the trip of a lifetime with our guide Jacinto being professional, courteous, knowledgeable and a great guy to have a chat with about the area, the people, the flora and fauna. Our family of five including three teenagers had a wonderful trip that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. Thanks go also to the amazing people at Intrepid who looked after us behind the scenes and the crew of our boat who made our onboard experience unforgettable and totally safe!

I enjoyed every minute of this trip! Everyday was full of marine life and nature. The snorkeling and walks were amazing! The boat was super comfortable and the crew did an amazing job taking care of us. The food was fresh and, every meal was delicious. Every aspect of this trip was top notch. I went on this trip alone, but felt like I was meeting up with friends once I got to know the other travelers. Highly recommend this trip.

Fantastic adventure. So many animals, fish and plants! The Grand Daphne was superb. The itinerary was very well planned and appropriate. The rooms were better than expected and the food outstanding. Highly recommend it.

Bucket list trip come true!. Seeing the Galápagos Islands on the Grand Daphne (super professional crew) and through the eyes of fabulous guide, Jacinto, and made this tour a true delight. I came away amazed, happy, knowledgeable and relaxed. Big shout out to our boat buddies too.

I was blown away by how much wildlife we saw during our trip. It was extraordinary! The crew of the Grand Daphne looked after us so well that I felt like a queen. Jacinto (our guide) was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Overall the trip of a lifetime!

I signed up for being on a boat, in the ocean with warm weather. The abundance of wildlife in Galapagos repeatedly stole the show. The Grande Daphne is stunning. The crew were very professional and our guide Jacinto was excellent. Highly recommended by me and an easy 5/5 stars!

Absolutely loved this trip. Jacinto was such a fabulous guide; enthusiastic about wildlife, ensured we got the best sightings and photos, and overall just really friendly and helpful. The boat was beautiful and the food was absolutely incredible! They catered for my dietary needs where needed and the food was exceptional standard! Thank you everyone

We didn't need wetsuits to see the amazing wildlife in the water and out. Our guide Jacinto was patient, helpful, knowlegable and made sure we all had a great time snorkelling and trecking and shared his gopro footage with us. I was worried about sharks, erupting volcanoes and the SOE in Equador, and was cautious in Quito but all was fine.

Ultimate tour of Galapagos was the best choice because it covered all areas of Galapagos. All staff/crew were excellent and the Grand Daphne was perfect.

Jacinto was a delightful naturalist guide, with a good sense of humour, and infinite patience with all of our questions. He seemed to have a genuine desire to have us all love and respect the islands; with our group he definitely succeeded! The crew were very helpful, friendly and made me feel very welcome (also tried to help me learn spanish). The Grand Daphne itself was great boat to be on. The chefs made spectacular and healthy meals! Most days you had 2 snorkels, and 2 hikes/panga rides. Due to the number of excursions, we saw all the animals we had hoped to see. Overall, I will definitely be recommending this trip to friends and family so they can also make unforgettable memories.

Ultimate Galapagos is well named. An amazing tour of the northern part of the Galapagos in the beautiful Grand Daphne with excellent facilities and very friendly staff. Our guide Jacinto was incredibly knowlegeable about the area, the flora and fauna and had a great sense of humour. Each day we explored a new area- a morning land excursion, followed by an hour long snorkel, returning to the boat to be greeted by warm towels and a hot refreshment. Afternoon siesta before another snorkel and zodiac exploration. Meals were amazing, 3 courses and lots of choices. Memories to cherish forever- can't recommend highly enough.

Spectacular trip. Snorkelled with countless sea lions, sea turtles, penguins, reef sharks, and iguanas. Felt like I was living in an episode of Planet Earth. The Grande Daphne and its crew were fantastic.

Trip of a lifetime! Every day was the best day ever until the next day, which was always better! The yacht was total luxury, and this trip was worth every penny!

A bucket-list trip of a lifetime with an amazing itinerary, quality boat and fantastic guiding. We could not recommend enough going to Galapagos with Intrepid.

Galapagos Islands on the Grand Daphne. A beautiful boat with spacious cabins and fabulously attentive and friendly crew.

The trip was phenomenal! Wildlife abounded, with plenty of close encounters in one of the most pristine special wildlife areas in the world. Our guide was great and the fellow travelers amazing. Accommodations on the Grand Daphne were phenomenal and the on-board staff top-notch.

Everything about this trip was amazing. The tour guide, the accommodation, the food and the people. We saw so much incredible wildlife. It was my dream trip and it exceeded my expectations.
