To be allowed into Galapagos National Park you are required to have a Naturalist (1 per every 16 guests).  We had 5 on our ship. Graciella, William, Jessica, Craig and Danny.  We spent most of our time with Graciella. It was purely by chance, we swear! The way they usually filled the boat was first come first server, we were never rushing and never dallying so we just sort of ended up in the middle and always on Graciella’s boat!

These Naturalists were so great! Their knowledge was amazing and they were always excited, even on things we were pretty sure they saw every day!  It was very fun to be on tours with them!
