What our guests say
Galápagos cruises arranged by Dana Tours, and stays at our own lodge in Mindo Cloud Forest.
“David is incredibly responsive and organized our logistics flawlessly. Terrazas de Mindo lodge is beautiful and very birdy, with wonderful cuisine, and staff attentive and genuinely kind. Our Galapagos cruise was magical.”
DMKap · North Carolina · Tripadvisor“After we had booked the tour, the cruise company decided to cancel all cruises… David promptly contacted me and offered to find alternate ships. Within 15 minutes, he came up with 3 other cruises that matched our needs and dates.”
vimalp · California · Tripadvisor“We used Dana tours to arrange our cruise to Galápagos Islands and our travel from Quito to Mindo with our stay at Las Terrazas de Dana… We couldn’t have been more pleased. Excellent, Prompt and honest communication and we had an unforgettable experience!”

GOOD TO KNOW
Your Monserrat questions, answered.
How do I get my complimentary nights in Mindo Cloud Forest?
Request your Monserrat cruise through Dana Tours. Your personalized offer lists your complimentary Mindo nights, meals, transfers and any extras for your departure.
Are transfers, meals and activities included in Mindo Cloud Forest?
Yes. Every cruise includes complimentary nights at the lodge (usually 2–3, more on request) with breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus private transfers between Quito and Mindo. Departures with a fare of US$3,500 or more per person add Mindo Plus, with tickets for Mindo’s top experiences, and those of US$5,000 or more, marked ★ in the dates table, include our complete Mindo All-Inclusive program, with your own private guide throughout. Your written offer confirms the details before you book.
Can I visit Mindo Cloud Forest before or after the cruise?
We can help arrange either option, depending on your flights, travel dates and lodge availability.
Does sending a request confirm my booking?
No. We first confirm availability and send your personalized offer. If you need time to decide, we can usually request a complimentary cabin hold, subject to the operator, availability and fare. You review your cabin, price, Mindo Cloud Forest benefits and booking conditions before committing. See how booking works.
How do I choose a Monserrat itinerary?
Start with your available travel days, then compare the islands visited, arrival and departure airports, and available sailing dates. Tell us which places interest you and we’ll help narrow the options.
How demanding are the excursions?
Walks, terrain and landings vary between visitor sites. Some involve uneven ground or stepping into shallow water. Tell us about any mobility concerns so we can review the specific route and available arrangements with the operator.
Can I choose my cabin?
Tell us your preferred deck and bed arrangement. We’ll check availability and confirm your cabin details before you commit.
Should I book my Galápagos flights first?
We recommend booking them with us, together with your cruise. Many yachts ask their guests to fly on the flights they reserve, because the crew meets the group at the Galápagos airport and the timing has to match the itinerary. You get assistance at the airport in Quito or Guayaquil on the day you fly, and we book your Galápagos flights at the net fare the cruise operator gives us. We also recommend arriving in Ecuador two days before your Galápagos flight, in case your international flight is delayed or canceled.
