"The crew of the Alya went out of their way to make this experience exceptional. Comfortable accommodations, good food, and an enthusiastic crew made all the difference. We loved traveling with the Alya team."

"Our Galápagos cruise with Galapagos Last Minute (Elwotravel) was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment we „set sail“, we were immersed in breathtaking landscapes and an astonishing variety of wildlife. Every day felt like a new adventure—whether it was snorkeling with playful sea lions, spotting blue-footed boobies up close, or watching majestic giant tortoises roam freely. The knowledgeable guides made the journey even more special, sharing fascinating insights about the islands’ unique ecosystems and ensuring we experienced the best of what the Galápagos has to offer. The ship „the Letty“ itself was fantastic—comfortable, well-organized, and with an incredible crew who took care of every detail. The food was delicious, and every excursion was well-planned to maximize our time with the incredible wildlife. If you love nature, adventure, and breathtaking scenery, a Galápagos cruise is absolutely a must-do. We were left in awe of this magical place, and we can’t wait to return one day! "

"Thank you for being so easy to work with. I appreciate your prompt responses every time I had a question etc. Like Giles (Oct 2023) recommended you and Tip Top II to me, I hope I can also someday pass it on and recommend you to another traveler. Tip Top II is a First Class operation and the naturalist Juan Alcivar was outstanding."

"Just finished the diving cruise and it was brilliant. Thanks a lot for your great service and offering me such an awesome trip 😊 "

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me with this trip. It was everything I expected and more! It was a fantastic cruise ship, and your help was amazing."

"We just returned from this trip and I must say it exceeded our expectations. Every day, including the afternoon we arrived was full of very well organized excursions. The three full days each had a two hour hike and one hour deep sea snorkeling which was better than any diving I have done in Hawaii or the Great Barrier Reef. The activities and location was organized by the naturalists so one can see most everything on this 5 day tour. We booked through Ellen at Elwotravel and she was THE best! Helped me through cancellation due to stomach flu and rescheduling of the trip. Most honest and kind individual! I would highly recommend Ellen who will take care of all the details from the beginning to the end. Thank you, Ellen!"

"We booked our 6 day/5 night cruise on the 16-passenger Alya catamaran with Ellen through Galapagos Last Minutes, and she was wonderful. Ellen is very knowledgable about the area, and she is quick to respond via email and WhatsApp. Ellen was patient with my many questions and helped me feel at ease with our decision (as we were making it pretty last minute, about 30 days prior to the departure date). We stayed in Quito for two nights so that we would have a day to explore Quito, and Ellen helped us feel very comfortable with that decision -- we are glad that she encouraged us to stay in the Old Town. All the documents were sent when promised and were easy to unserstand and follow. Everything on our trip went perfectly as planned. Ellen, thank you for helping us navigate the details of this trip -- it was fantastic!"

"We booked a last minute 7 day Galapagos cruise with Ellen and we had a wonderful time. Ellen was very helpful and quick to respond, making the whole process from booking the cruise and flights a stress free process. I'd recommend Ellen to others looking to book a Galapagos cruise."

"We booked a 8 days diving trip on a diving cruise in April 2023. Ellen was very helpful and quick to respond, making the whole booking process easy for us. She also joined us to the bank where we payed the quote in cash to avoid kredit card fee. (Cash paying is not easy in Ecuador without her help we couldn't have done it). I'd recommend Ellen to others looking to book a Galapagos cruise. We had a woderfull diving trip"

"Ellen from Elwotravel has been an unvaluable asset in making this yacht cruise. A really professional person in the tourism business. I booked everything for my daughter through her. Always attentive and courteous. If you are planning to go to the Galapagos you won't be defrauded contacting her. "
