The crew/staff on board the ship " Evolution" were extraordinary! They knew everyone by name and accommodated all of our individual needs. They were warm, inviting and extremely organized. We never met anyone who was not there to listen and address our questions. The naturalists were so informative and interesting I was always looking forward to the next outing! From the moment we landed @ the Quito airport till we boarded the plane back home everything they promised was executed. I felt safe and in the best of hands. The food was fabulous, too!
