    Reply from: Via Natura Ecuador
    Dear Fiona, Greetings from Ecuador! Thank you very much for your kind and objective comments. We are very glad to know you had the life-changing experience that you were looking for. All cruises in the Galapagos Islands are regulated by the Galapagos National Park, and because of flight schedules, we are only allowed one afternoon activity on day 1, and a very short activity on the last day before heading back to the airport. I am sorry that you found it a misnomer, though I am confident that you understand this. I am happy to know that you enjoyed your time in the Enchanted Islands! I will make sure to pass down your lovely comments to our staff. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to hearing from you some time in the near future! Sincerely, Ariana.
