We loved this trip! The part arranged by Reef and Rainforest was very professional and thoughtful. Overall, we saw many highlights. We very strongly recommend the Seatrek experience. It was amazing and just what we were looking for. We believe Reef and Rainforest Clients interested in the archipelago would really enjoy the trip and the experience. The food was outstanding and the boat crew terrific. The guide was also excellent and they had arranged really interesting, informative and beautiful trips on land on different islands each day. Even the day spent on tour before boarding the ship was fascinating and well guided. We have taken many trips with Reef and Rainforest – Galapagos, Madagascar, Brazil, Peru, Indonesia. Our guides and have also been very good birders, and this was important to us. We have appreciated the way Reef and Rainforest arranges trips and the eco-tourism nature of the trips. It has been a good fit for us.
