点评:10 day central and east Galapagos island tour on the Reina Silvia - April 2026.
Went with my 68 year old mother.
The GOOD: excellent CEO (Venus), great crew who worked very hard on the Reina Silvia to give us a wonderful and relaxing experience. Fantastic activities with hikes, snorkelling and kayaking each day. We saw incredible wildlife and landscapes and absolutely loved it.
Angel was a great barman, Gina did an excellent job of cleaning our rooms each day and emptying bathroom bins. All the crew were friendly and helpful (especially helping the older people get on and off boats and beaches). Transport in Quito and in the Galapagos was all clockwork. There were only ever 4 or 5 cruise ships in each bay that we stopped in, so we never felt like there were too many people around. Bed and pillows were comfy. Hot showers with good water pressure.
The engines and the anchor was noisy in every room, but everyone on the boat seemed to sleep well each night despite this. A few people used ear plugs. My mother and I did not need them. The rocking of the boat at night put us to sleep despite the noise.
Things to be improved upon:
- more fibre in the food (suggest taking laxatives with you on the trip just in case, as several of us were constipated for the duration of the trip);
- more opportunities in the evening to have a jacuzzi as it was too hot to use it in the break time after lunch.
- We were also frustrated that G adventures charged us more for a double room than a twin room (the twin rooms were already booked so as a mother-daughter duo our only option was the double), but then the double room was smaller than the twin rooms. And smaller balcony. Despite paying more money!!
- g adventures and the owners of Reina Silvia should pay all of their staff more, because it was crazy to be expected to pay an extra $300USD in cash tips at the end of the trip, after already paying $12,500AUD per person for the trip.
翻译:2026年4月,我和68岁的母亲一起参加了为期10天的加拉帕戈斯群岛中部和东部之旅,乘坐的是雷纳·西尔维亚号游轮。
优点:首席执行官(维纳斯)非常出色,船员们也都很棒,他们在雷纳·西尔维亚号上辛勤工作,为我们打造了一次美妙而轻松的体验。每天都有精彩的活动,包括徒步、浮潜和皮划艇。我们看到了令人难以置信的野生动物和壮丽的景色,非常喜欢这次旅行。
安吉尔是一位很棒的调酒师,吉娜每天都把我们的房间打扫得干干净净,并及时清理浴室垃圾桶。所有船员都非常友好热情(尤其是在帮助老年人上下船和海滩方面)。在基多和加拉帕戈斯群岛的交通安排都非常合理。我们停靠的每个海湾都只有四五艘游轮,所以我们从未感到人太多。床和枕头都很舒适。热水淋浴,水压也很好。
引擎和锚的噪音在每个房间都很吵,但船上的每个人似乎每晚都睡得很好。有些人用了耳塞,我和我妈妈则不需要。尽管噪音很大,但夜里船的摇晃反而让我们睡着了。
需要改进的地方:
- 食物中应该增加纤维含量(建议携带泻药以防万一,因为我们当中有几个人在整个旅程中都便秘了);
- 晚上应该增加使用按摩浴缸的机会,因为午饭后的休息时间太热了,不适合使用。
- 我们还很生气,G Adventures 的双人间比双床间贵(双床间已经订满了,所以我们母女俩只能选择双人间),但双人间却比双床间小,阳台也更小。明明付了更多的钱! - g adventures 和 Reina Silvia 的老板应该给所有员工涨工资,因为在旅行结束时,每人已经支付了 12,500 澳元,却还要额外支付 300 美元的现金小费,这太疯狂了。
