Testimonials

Loved the snorkeling and the exploring boat rides. Again, the staff on the Bonita did everything possible to make our trip super. In the Galápagos, a physical challenge for my husband and I, both at age 73, was getting in and out of the zodiac, (which we did several times daily), and walking on the lava rock islands. The Bonita staff expertly assisted us on and off the zodiac, and were available to assist in challenging areas of the hikes.
