All the guess work was taken out as a result all time spent was “quality time”. The number of excursions and intensity was just right. The guides patient and knowledgeable. The meals were a good mix of Ecuador Ian cuisine and American fare that looked fresh, were nutritious and tasty to sustain us through our planned excursions. Guests were intellectual and serious about the subject which was perfect for me. The 16 couples/ 42 person boat was just the right size for us to get to know each other. I can see myself continuing to keep in touch with several of them after the trip. I would highly recommend this adventure cruise company without any hesitation.
