I am settled at home, thanks. The trip was certainly very enjoyable, beyond my hopes in fact. Your documents were useful. I do not know if the person who helped us through check in for the flight from Quito to Baltra had been sent by you-if your company did it, thank you; he was a great help. We were met at the airport and dropped off very well. The yacht had just the right number of persons for a cosy and friendly experience; I didn’t get seasick, since I followed your advice and took seasickness tablets; the trips to different islands were really wonderful; the guide was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with taking us around, providing for our comfort etc; the food on board was very tasty-they made an effort to meet my husband’s vegetarian requirement and prepared several tasty rice based dishes; the company on board was really homogeneous-we were all people mad about travel to exotic locations. The islands we visited gave us the most amazing experiences and both my husband and I are very happy that we took this trip.
The only inconvenience was the absence of facilities for using our credit cards for some payments at least. Wish we could have used them to pay for the services on the yacht for example as it was not possible to carry so much cash around, when there were so many (rather expensive) charges to be paid to the government at the airport, for entry into the park etc. Thank you all again.

I was very pleased with my trip. The ship and crew met my highest expectations, and the naturalist was very knowlegeable (sic) and committed. Observing animal life so close was for the most part as good as it possibly gets, and sometimes – swimming with baby sea lions and turtles – the experience was truly exhilarating.

We cannot say enough good things about our time on the Odyssey. The accommodations, the crew and the itinerary were perfect. It was exactly what we wanted and we just wish the cruise could have lasted for another few weeks (or months)!
