“Betty and I took our whole family including kids, spouses, and grandkids for a cruise through the islands. We were on a 20-passenger boat, the Eric. The nine of us were joined by another family of seven with kids similar in age to our grand-kids. Another family was made up of school teachers who loved kids so there was instant bonding.

“The guides kept us busy each and every day with hikes, tours and snorkeling. I saw a gazillion birds, a gazillion fish, gazillion land and sea lizards, various sea lions, sea turtles, land tortoises, whales, sharks, penguins and so on and so on. I took a modest 1000 photos. Others claim to have taken over two thousand along with videos. The boat, crew, and guides were great. We couldn't have had a better time.
