Our family of four, including 2 teenage children, had a fabulous time on the M/V Evolution. The ship was the perfect size, extremely comfortable, and the staff was terrific. Loved the fact that unlike many other boats, we had exterior decks on 2 levels for watching the sunrise, star gazing, relaxing, and making use of the great hot tub. We had amazing experiences from walking on black lava fields, to snorkeling with sea turtles, penguins, sea lions, and more. Our Naturalist guides,Boli and Gustavo, were extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and lots of fun to learn from on each excursion. The other guests were interesting and adventurous people and striking fast friendships with them on this friendly boat greatly enhanced our experience. We would definitely (and have already) recommend the Evolution to anyone looking for a Galapagos cruise experience.
