Client comments and reviews

We were absolutely blown away by our trip to Ecuador and around The Galapagos Islands! Sue has been talking about organising a family holiday there for some time but when she found and booked Integrity last year we knew it was going to happen. We are all extremely grateful and feel very lucky to have had such a special time on the most amazing boat - it was simply the most amazing and luxurious adventure.

Integrity was stunning in every way. It seemed huge and very luxurious and comfortable with plenty of seating inside and outside. The cabins were spacious and air conditioned with comfy beds, plenty of drawers and cupboards to store belongings, constant hot water for showers and fluffy white towels which were replaced and rearranged while we were out on activities. Separate clean navy towels were available after swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. It was so nice to be able to completely unpack and to not worry about our personal possessions. I think we all slept extremely well too, even when sailing at night the boat was smooth and sent us all to sleep.

The staff were very hard working, friendly and kind and everywhere was immaculate. Our wetsuits, shoes and feet were hosed down on our return to the boat so that everywhere was kept as clean as possible. Our own laundry was even done on Tuesday and Thursday free of charge! The food and drink were delicious and we were certainly never hungry – our main waiter Manwell was particularly attentive and had our individual ‘tipples’ at the ready, such a lovely man.

Greg our guide was also excellent, perfect for our family and we felt very lucky to have him. He kept us all in order starting at 5.30am with our wake up call. We did so much and swam and snorkelled at least twice every day and were generally very active which was perfect for us. The sea wasn’t too cold and if we did get chilly in the water the weather was so lovely and sunny that one warmed up pretty quickly out of the water on a Zodiac. Overall a wonderful week. - JS (March 2026)

The Galapagos and Integrity blew me away - I loved every single second and so did Fred, my son. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and to see as much as we did, but Greg, our guide, and all the crew were fantastic. Even though we were up at 5.30am and busy all day, we were able to totally relax. It was very special to travel with all the family and have the trip organised by my big sister. - KG (March 2026)

The Galapagos was extraordinary. Integrity proved to be a great boat, and with only 9 guests seemed even more luxurious. Greg Estes our guide was excellent, ‘Galapagos royalty’ and there really is nothing he doesn’t know about the islands, their history, Darwin and everything on or around the islands. - JP (March 2025)
