I cannot stress enough how flawless this experience was. The communication before, during and after the trip was amazing. I traveled during the pandemic as a solo female traveler and had zero concerns. From the airlines to guides, to transfers, to the food and excursions. Snorkeling, hiking, biking, kayaking, and wildlife galore! Every step of the way everything was handled safely and responsibly. Animals everywhere and minimal people. Just what I needed! There literally could not be a better time to travel to the Galapagos. Nothing was ruined, canceled or impacted. I am so glad I moved forward with my trip and I highly encourage others to do the same. Do not hesitate. Book the trip!!! I will use this company again to plan an Amazon vacation.

After many phone call and a email confirmation sent by Pierre that Blue Spirit will refund our travel agency ... nothing was sent . Pierre is a real danger !!! I can send emails received from Pierre. After a cancellation of the cruise by Blue Spirit ... only one month before departure and during peak season ... our VIP clients could not cruise on the boat ... Pierre after many e-mails and Phone calls organized a “land cruise” he agreed to send us send us back a refund of 5.000USD : difference between the initial cruise booked and the hotel and day cruises on a regular and crowded boat. We are a very well known Travel agency dealing with upscale clientele... we won’t let him doing business without taking care of his clients!! Bernard
