We recently came back from one of the most amazing things I have experienced so far, mainly thanks to the amazing experience we had on the „Angelito Yacht“. From getting in touch with the agency Cometa Travel, which also owns the yacht, to dropping us of at Puerto Ayora at the end of our cruise, every second of our time was just perfect!

Before going to the Galapagos islands I wasn‘t sure whether we should do a cruise or rather a land-based tour and oh boy am I a happy we opted for the cruise. Now I even wish we had booked a longer trip on the Angelito.
The Angelito is a 16-person boat with an 8-person crew and was originally built by people from the Galapagos islands on the islands itself. It now is still in the hands of the same family and also run by them. I think this is also one of the reasons why the experience is that great. Everyone involved in working for the Angelito is doing it with such great passion and heart, you can really tell they have a deep connection and respect for the islands.
A big thank you also to Maja, our guide. This woman is such an experienced guide with a ton of knowledge and most importantly so so much passion, we couldn‘t believe that after 33 years of guiding groups she still had this sparkle in her eyes when talking about the fauna and flora of the islands.
After the cruise, we stayed four more nights on San Cristobal and did mostly day tours. This gave me the chance to compare the cruise to the land-based experience and now I am even happier we did a cruise. We would have missed out on so many things if we hadn‘t gone on the cruise. So to sum it up: go to the Galapagos islands, do a cruise, preferably on the Angelito, take your time and invest the money, it will be a once in a lifetime experience which you will never forget and it really is worth spending the money.

Sehr interessante Ausflüge, längere Aufenthalte als die Passagiere der anderen Schiffe, die dort waren.

Viele Tiere (Schildkröten, Leguane, Vögel, Eidechsen, Seelöwen, Pinguine, etc.)

Eindrückliche Schnorchelorte (auch hier hatte man genügend Zeit). Viele Tiere (Seelöwen, Schildkröten, Kormorane, Piguine, Fische).

Toller Guide (Maja). Sie lehrte uns viel über Galapagos’ Flora und Fauna.

Grosszügiges und leckeres Frühstück-, Mittag- und Abendbuffet. Auch die Zwischenverpflegung war super. Ein Dankeschön an Manuel und Omar.

Super Zimmerservice mit liebevollen Gesten. Danke Àngel.

Ein grosses Dankeschön auch an den Capitän (Andrés) und sein Team (Juan-Carlos, Juan, Fernando, Nestor).

Ein weiteres grosses Highligth waren die Delfine und Wale, aber auch die Haie, die wir beobachten konnten.

Auch wenn das Schiff und dessen Einrichtung schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist, empfehle ich die Angelito weiter.

Wir durften eine wunderschöne Zeit auf der Angelito verbringen. Die 8 Tage auf dem Schiff gingen viel zu schnell vorbei.

Wir würden die Angelito sofort wieder buchen!

This was an amazing trip. Maya was our naturalist and she had such a heart for teaching and preserving the ecosystem, it is amazing. The rest of the staff treated us like royalty: the food was fresh and local and often included a yummy soup and always a freshly made dessert as well as a hearty and health main dish. The highlight was spending so much time on so many islands learning. Our day consisted of breakfast, a morning hike, a beautiful snorkel, lunch, a hike, a nap or games, dinner, an overview of the next day and early to bed. I wouldn’t change a thing. The crew and Maya were very personable, as were the other travelers. We had a wonderful time and will consider doing the second itinerary in the future. I wouldn’t go with any other crew because of their obvious focus on the wildlife and the obvious joy of what they do.  Definitively 5*
