Very handy, this is great, keep up the good work guys
Congrat’s, a lot of time was spent on compiling this, I’m sure. I did notIce that Uncruise adventures was not listed under Galapagos ? They have been offering regular expeditions there on a chartered vessel for the past couple of years.
That’s George, for catching that! We’ve made the change 🙂
Thanks George for catching that! We’ve made the change 🙂
Also, a few of my close friends recently returned from the Galapagos after sailing with Quasar Expeditions. They were very pleased with their experience. You may want to add Quasar to your Galapagos listings.
A Quasar review is on our to-do list, thanks for the reminder George !
