We met Mari while on a Celebrity cruise tour of the Galapagos. Her knowledge in many different areas--biology, zoology,botany, geology--was vast and her enthusiasm for nature and wildlife was infectious. She readily answered all our many questions and was eager to share knowledge and explain difficult concepts in a way that was easy to comprehend.  I hope we may have the opportunity to spend time with her on additional tours.

We were so incredibly fortunate to have Mariuxi as onboard Naturalist during our trip to the Galapagos in February 2018.  Mariuxi's wealth of knowledge, and willingness to share it, is to be commended and it was truly a highly of our trip. Mariuxi has a passion for the preservation of the Galapagos that her guests can't help but share after spending time with her.   We can't say enough about our experience and how it was enhanced by Mariuxi.

Mari has a special feel for what she does and that is to comunicate her knowledge to her to her guests with great passion. She is a great guide and very knowledgeable on everything we came across in the Galapagos. We enjoyed being with her on our excursions. Thank you!
