Amazing time!
The crew was awesome and our guide was the best! We checked off every animal and activity we wished for the trip. We loved the Grand Majestic.

We loved the Grand Majestic!
We loved the Grand Majestic, the crew, and the master suite. They met us at the airport and took care of everything. Luis (the guide with us every day) was born in Galapagos and knew all the history of the islands. Loved the snorkeling, hiking and bird watching. Weather was great – saw lots of sea lions, flamingos, boobies etc. Loved going to the top of the ship in the morning. Saw sharks, manatees, etc. Some people became seasick but we had no problems. Between every morning and afternoon panga activities we had fresh juices and snacks.

The yacht was more than I ever expected!
James Barreno was the best guide I have EVER had on any tour I’ve ever been on. His knowledge of the Galapagos Islands was outstanding. He could answer any question asked of him (and I asked plenty), and his delivery of the information was so enthusiastic. He seemed to LOVE telling us about his islands... not to mention he was adorable (I’m 76) with a fabulous sense of humor. He also had an impeccable grasp of the English language.
Now about our charming Captain Pedro... I can’t say enough! I’ve been on many cruises and never had a Captain so “hands on” in helping everyone. I’m 76 years old and could have never made the 3+ hour hike on Espanola Island over lava rocks and boulders without his strong arms and warm heart. He didn’t hesitate on offering to help me make the excursion... the best part of the whole trip! It was beautiful scenery and tons of wildlife. I never slipped or twisted my ankles on any of those treacherous rocks... it was like he helped glide me long….and I’m not a light weight by any means. I know he was exhausted ...much more so than I was. Such a gentleman! Both Pedro and James are such assets to your company. Oh, and let me mention the group of people we had onboard. EVERYONE was so much fun and got along like we had known each other previously.
It was an unforgettable trip!! I want to go again!!

Majestic and her phenomenal crew
Having just returned from my Galapagos travel, I wanted to compliment your discerning management and staffing aboard the Majestic MV. Each member of her crew was professional, welcoming, courteous and helpful.
The cabin was immaculately prepared and maintained; the meals were beautifully created and presented, and our phenomenal educated naturalist guide Peter helped not only my enjoyment of Galapagos but furthered my education and passion for your archipelago.
My only suggestion is that you not change a thing!
Awesome in every respect; I am looking forward to my return to not only Galapagos but the Majestic and her phenomenal crew,
Sincerely,
Monica
This ship was beautiful
The guide on board was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. We never felt rushed and he did his utmost to ensure that we fully benefited from each and every trip. The itinerary for each day was clearly laid out on a white board with what to wear and take. So well organized so we didn't waste any time. The islands visited gave us an excellent opportunity to see a wide range of sea life and birds. It was all so close and made taking photos so easy. It was amazing to wake up every morning to a different view and a new adventure waiting for us. The other thing we would have liked to have done on Santa Cruz was to spend a little more time shopping and a bit of time in the evening there to enjoy the street life and live music. We felt seven day trip was spot on. I am so pleased we didn't do a shorter trip as we got to see so much more and never once felt we had had enough. To travel so far, and to such a unique place I am pleased we made the most of it and did a full week.
Best wishes
Lovely Boat
All in all, they had a fabulous trip. Many thanks to you and your team!

I feel like we got 110% back.
One link sent me to "Royal Galapagos," the cover photo of which was a gleaming white vessel, Majestic, with large port holes, sitting serenely at anchor at sunset. We contacted them; they responded quickly, and we hemmed and hawed for a few weeks, until a strategic email informed us that if we wanted to reserve a cabin on the main deck, we would need to act. We had to pay a sizeable deposit and I got a little nervous when the bank transfer seemed to go okay from our end, but not theirs, and I began to fear I might soon be smelling the sour stench of scam. PayPal ended up working okay, but cost us an extra 4%. When our reservation seemed to be set (Thank you for your patience, Elizabeth!), we waited, and waited, grateful that we had acted early.
By the time the trip approached, we had vouchers, itineraries, free reservations at a nice airport hotel in Guayaquil, free flight to the islands, pick-ups and drop-offs, etc. We were picked up, taken to the airport, handed boarding passes and more detailed information and practically escorted to the gate. By the way, the new Guayaquil airport is obsessively clean. There was nobody there, so the place was like some sort of white, shiny shrine with people pacing up and down the long corridor with mops, cleaning the floors.
Anyway, we got the same treatment when we arrived. We had to pay $20 back in Guayaquil and $100 in San Cristobal for the park service. We had been aware of that and were happy to support the good work the park service does. The guides, Simon and Peter, who turned out to be the onboard naturalist, greeted us and before we knew it we were on the wharf. Off in the distance, the Majestic was moored. They have two very sturdy, very stable inflatable dinghies that make embarkment and disembarkment easy, supported by the sure hands of the boarding crew.
Pretty much everything surpassed our highest expectations. What I had briefly feared was a scam turned out to be a well-oiled machine. Every member of the crew was professional, skilled, courteous, genuinely friendly, multi-talented, and all-around amable. These guys never stopped. Jonathan would serve breakfast, help us board, work on deck, etc. yet with every skill, he, like all of them, was on top of his game. The crew quietly brought our backs to our cabins during the orientation. We newlyweds of 37 years enjoyed the "Matrimonial Suite."
Peter deserves his own paragraph. He has the build of a guy who runs up and down mountains - lean and mean - but there is no meanness in Peter, only a serious and multifaceted skill set. He is a walking encyclopaedia. He can identify a bird on the fly from 50 meters. He organized the itinerary to ensure the best chances of seeing wildlife and he managed time so effectively that we felt like we were packing in lots of action during the days, but not at a breakneck pace - we never felt hurried - and we still had a nice after-lunch siesta time before striking out again to some other amazing experience, where Peter knew we would see some animals up close. He was also thorough in his safety precautions and instructions.
That first night, the crew lined up, decked out in their dress uniform best. Everybody introduced themselves and we had a champagne toast. Peter drew up a dry-erase board (every night) with the next day's itinerary, along with a detailed list of what to take along to each different place, and whether it would be a "wet or dry landing." Wet landings were never deeper than my knee. Decisions of which shoes to take led to generally less and less wearing of shoes.
At night, the soporific combination of the salt air, the lulling of the hull, and the end of an active day was enough to soothe us to sleep. But the boat made the long hauls from island to island at night, so that when we woke up, we were there! That created a few issues. The sound of the diesel engine, blended with the sound of the waves in the wake, was not unpleasant. When weighing anchor, however, the somehow unpleasant sound of the chain dragging across the deck seemed to be just outside, or maybe in the same cabin. It took only a minute, but there was no sleeping through it. October is a season of choppy seas, and the nighttime passages were pretty rough if you were trying to walk around the deck. I ended up sleeping better than Barbara did.
That first morning, I wandered out to the rear deck and gazed at the striped Wrasses slowly swimming through the clear water; then a large shark slowly made its way to the gunnel and beneath the boat. Breakfast followed, including fruit, frittata, huevos, cheeses, ham, breads, juices, and on and on. The quality of the food was actually amazing. One night Chef proudly walked in with a whole roast turkey! Every meal consisted of at least two gratuitous courses that were just too much to get to. The first day, after a morning snorkel off the beach at Post Office Bay, we arrived to a small buffet of fruit, sandwiches and juice. We thought it was lunch, but it was "morning tea." To our surprise, about an hour later, they served a full-on lunch on the top deck where the bar and jacuzzi are. We learned to expect a substantial snack after every trip off the boat. Pacing was key because it was all delicious, especially the unique fruits that I had never even heard of. Service was professional and we wanted for nothing.
That the islands are amazing is such an understatement. There are no words for that feeling when birds hop or fly right up to you and seals and iguanas seem unaware of your very existence. It's like being invisible. We were lucky enough to see mating rituals of Albatrosses and Nazca Boobies. We walked among sea lions, barely a week old, hanging out on the beach with their mothers. We saw rocky shore boiling with brightly colored Sally Lightfoot crabs. In close to shore it was a casual buffet for the sea lions and birds. Turtles poked their heads up amid the feasting. We saw huge tortugas, strewn across a field like bales of hay. Snorkeling was hit or miss, but when it was a hit, it was a party. Sea lions considered us temporary distractions, nosing up to us and shooting past us. Unconcerned, Turtles slowly made their way past us. We swam in the midst of schools of brightly colored tropical fish of a range of sizes, swirling around the ancient sunken caldera called the Devil's Crown. In swim-through caves, White-tipped sharks patiently lurked, occasionally taking short, smooth glides along the vertical rock wall.
This is meant to be a review, not a travelogue, but suffice it to say, there is nothing like it. If you want to see a few different islands, a boat is the way to go, because you travel at night and wake up at your destination (see note above.) I could not have been more impressed with the service, from start to finish. It's a little nerve-wracking to pay 100% up front for an unimaginable experience. I feel like we got 110% back.

Location Details
The Galapagos Islands are the perfect destination for anyone wanting to get away from real life and truly experience an enchanted place unlike anywhere else in the world. The Galapagos Islands are a small archipelago located on the equator, about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. The Galapagos are composed of 19 islands as well as many islets and rocks that cover an area of about 17,000 square miles. The isolated location and environment of the islands have led to the creation of a unique ecosystem you can’t find anywhere else. People have only inhabited the islands for about 150 years meaning the flora and fauna have evolved almost completely independent of human influence. Most species of plants and animals that call the Islands home can only be found in the Galapagos. Some of the most notable of these animal species include Galapagos Tortoises, Darwin’s Finches, Galapagos Fur Seals, Marine Iguanas, Flightless Cormorants, Galapagos Penguins, and Lava Lizards. During any tour to Galapagos, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with tons of each of these animals as they have no natural fear of humans. The landscapes of the islands are incredibly breathtaking, you will feel as if you’re on another planet. The natural beauty of these rocky formations are different on every island, your camera will be full by the time your tour ends. Since the Islands are so young in comparison to other land masses, the living conditions are quite harsh and most volcanoes are very active; the islands are rocky, rugged, beautiful, and something you have to see in person. The clear blue oceans of the Islands are just as stunning as the surrounding landscapes. Watch the sea lions play inches from your face, gaze at the colorful fish as they move with the water’s currents, and follow the Galapagos sharks as they graze the bottom of the ocean floor. The Galapagos are a dream destination for science lovers because of Charles Darwin’s famous exploration of the Islands that are known for developing some of his scientific theories. In the early 1800’s, while Darwin was exploring the Islands he made many observations about the wildlife -- mainly tortoises and finches -- that helped him develop his famous Theory of Evolution. The Galapagos offer so many activities that everyone is able to enjoy. Trek through volcanic rocks, kayak with sea turtles, snorkel with Galapagos penguins, dive with whales, take pictures of crystal clear ocean waters, and escape life as you know it to discover a place unlike anywhere else in the world. Adventurers from around the globe love coming to the Galapagos to see the endemic species of the islands, the rich turquoise seas full of life, the vibrant beaches, and to disconnect from the world and reconnect with themselves. This once-in-a-lifetime getaway is one that cannot be missed.
