David O. Paez Cox was our naturalist on the Beluga boat. David attended quite successfully to keeping us safe while we enjoyed every moment in the Galapagos. He is most pleasant and a good communicator.
Toni Harker
Galapagos Islands were wonderful...plenty of flora and fauna. Enjoyed the variety of experiences on land and sea each day. Good food and very accommodating about food preferences. Excellent staff on Beluga.
Susan Neptune
The leader of our Beluga ship, Juan, was absolutely superb! The attention to details with your helpful planning embraced, enjoyed and appreciated.
