Expeditions

Galapagos was a bucket list trip and it did not disappoint. We experienced so many iconic dive locations and saw so many species, it was an amazing experience.

Great ship, diving and staff. Good communication, safety consciousness, and dive site knowledge. Land excursions were amazing too.

We were totally thrilled with our experience. The crew was amazing- they were extremely nice and helpful. (Special shout out to Victor!) The food was excellent. Our guide was first rate. Only a couple of suggestions: have a few more games for families, slightly larger trash cans and washcloths.

My spouse & I booked the 5 night/6 day survival experience through PlanetaEXO with Joshua's Amazon Expeditions. Spending time in the rainforest, whether on land or water, was a dream come true! There were so many fascinating insects, plants, sights, & sounds. Stargazing and fishing for piranha were major highlights! We were incredibly fortunate to be accompanied by our guide Ronaldo as well as the local expert Gustavo. They did so much more than keeping us alive and teaching us about our environment; they took a genuine interest in our lives, were generous and kind, and made a point of creating the best experience possible. A great big thank you to this company for offering such an immersive tour and a massive thank you to Ronaldo & Gustavo for making a survival trip so positive and memorable.

This cruise delivered one of the most extraordinary diving experiences of my life. From the moment we boarded at San Cristóbal, the crew made it clear this was going to be a very special trip. If you are a serious, experienced diver looking for world-class big animal encounters, this liveaboard belongs on your bucket list. The staff are simply outstanding. They went out of their way at every turn to ensure your comfort and wellbeing. They helped you put your dive gear on before every dive, cleaned and rinsed your equipment after each one, and remained genuinely attentive to your needs throughout the trip. This level of personal service is rare and made a real difference after long, physically demanding days in the water. The dive masters were exceptionally knowledgeable - about the dive sites, the marine life, the currents, and the conditions. Safety was always top of mind. Dive briefings were well conducted, thorough, and highly informative, giving you everything you needed to know before entering some of the most challenging water in the world. You always felt confident and prepared.

Wonderful staff, great views, excellent accommodations. I highly recommend to other travelers.

My teen daughter and I did a 7 night cruise. It exceeded all of our expectations. The boat was sparkling clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Service was top notch, from the food, to the friendly crew with a helping hand every step, to turn-down service with a chocolate every night. More about the food -- buffet breakfast with omelet station, local fruit juices, fresh fruit and cheese platters, cereals, and hot selections changing daily. Lunch and dinner were elegantly plated, included many local specialties, and were absolutely delicious! We received detailed information from the crew and guides every day, and felt well taken care of. Saving the best for last - our guides, Karla and Fernando made the experience magical! Aside from being incredibly knowledgable, they were fun and entertaining, and catered to our interests throughout. The itinerary included a lot of options for the daily activities, so we could adjust the experience to how we felt each day. The whole trip was so well planned, we felt safe and cared for, which enabled us to just enjoy the experience!

A super well-prepared team, good-quality bikes, a perfect choice of places, and the itinerary blends biking in beautiful places with knowledge of the local culture.

If it got any better, it'd be ruined! An incredible experience of the cocoa route culture: biking, hiking, beaches, river, paddling, boat, gastronomy, chocolate! You leave wanting to come back!

The crew and the guide, Luis, were exceptional as far as ensuring that our trip would be memorable and that all our needs would be met. The air conditioned cabins were cleaned daily and beds turned down in the evening with chocolates on our pillows. The food was chef quality with an emphasis on native cuisine with an abundance of vegetables and fruit. There were 3 crew members attending to our safety getting on/off the pangas. If you did not want to snorkel or hike, you had the option to ride in the panga. The lectures and evening briefing were very informative and reflected the Luis’ pride, passion, and love for the Galapagos.
