Number of people: 2
Country: EcuadorOverall level of Satisfaction
Tribes Overall: "An awesome experience."
Tribes Service: "It was a bit worrying not to have some tickets, hotel vouchers etc in hand but in the event there were no problems. Everything worked out very well, no hitches."
Guides: "We had two guides, one of them Carolina Angermeyer.
They were both excellent and good fun with all necessary knowledge, and both with a deep sense of the importance of the islands and the need for conservation."
Social & Environmental Responsibility: "Excellent"
Accommodation
A lovely yacht, well fitted and comfortable, good food, a bit noisy but less than expected. The seas were calm to a bit choppy but I don't think anyone suffered much from seasickness. The crew were friendly and quietly very competent. The only disappointment was we were only under sail for half a day and we were on board without chance to see her from the outside!
