Description

Tip Top II Galapagos Cruises offer an immersive experience aboard a 16-guest motor catamaran.

Built in 2008 and redesigned in 2015-2016, Tip Top II ensures a comfortable journey with top safety standards and expert multilingual naturalist guides.

The yacht is equipped with kayaks and snorkeling gear, available to guests free of charge. Wet suits can be rented by pre-order. Two Panga boats transport guests to shore for guided explorations led by a dedicated naturalist, providing deep insights into the unique landscapes and wildlife of the Galapagos.

Tip Top II offers two distinct 8-day itineraries, which can be shortened to 4 or 5 days or combined into extended 11 or 15-day cruises. Please note, Tip Top II is not a diving boat, but rather a vessel focused on land exploration.

The first-class catamaran accommodates 16 passengers in 10 air-conditioned cabins, each featuring an en-suite bathroom, hair dryer, and safety box. Cabins on the Main Deck include 2 with double beds and 4 with twin beds. The Upper Deck offers 2 cabins with twin beds and 2 with king-size beds.

Onboard amenities include a bar, dining room, lounge, and sun deck. The chef crafts delicious dishes blending Ecuadorian and international cuisine, with special dietary needs accommodated upon request. Complimentary purified water, coffee, and herbal teas are available throughout the cruise.
