It's impossible to write a short review. Our experience on The Grace was PHENOMENAL. That was mostly due to the incredible crew, the amazing OVER-abundance of high-end cuisine (three very full meals each day which you will need for fuel for the non-stop activities), and the expertise of Adventure Life and the "Following Darwin's Footsteps" itinerary. We also got very lucky with the weather (we went at the end of October/early November) and saw dolphins, whales, penguins, flamingos and all of the expected animal life that the Galapagos are famous for. It was so nice to have a captain who was willing to turn that yacht around to chase a pod of dolphins, or to help an ailing passenger. Fully bi-lingual guides with the best sense of humor were the icing on the cake (yay Monica and Walter!). While there might be cheaper ways to see the Galapagos, there are also more expensive ways, and we were so happy that we chose the Grace as it did not disappoint. I recommend the upper-level cabins which were super spacious with amazing views. We did the open-bar beer/wine package and felt it was the right choice for us. Take plenty of Immodium, Dramamine, ASP, whatever, because 50% of our passengers came down with some type of stomach ailment (typical for travelers, not due to the Grace). Overall, this was one of our best trips ever and we would go again for a different tour but would choose the Grace all over again. It was just perfection.
