Tip Top II Crucero, Galápagos

Great adventure in the Galapagos

We had an amazing trip - lots of snorkeling, hiking and learning about the beautiful Galápagos Islands. The Tip Top II was a great way to see the area. It was a very comfortable and well equipped boat, the crew was super kind and helpful, an our guide, Wilo was very knowledgeable about the area, as well as fun to listen to and spend time with. He prepared an incredible highlights reel video for us to have as a memory of our trip. Of course the strongest highlight was the number of amazing animals, how close we could come near to observe them, and the stark and colorful beauty of the landscapes. We would love to come back some day to see more. Thank you for an incredible experience.

Beautiful and interesting stops, Nature guide - Wilo, wonderful food

Above all expectations

Surpassed all my expectations on every front. Full programme of activities to explore the islands, most days 2 excursions on land and 2 snorkelling outings. Was glad we hired the full wet suit as water was cold. They gave us a water bottle to use and a microfibre towel. Which were ours to use during the trip and take home afterwards. They provided shower gel and shampoo. Cabins are spacious and comfortable. I used wax ear plugs as engine and lifting /dropping anchor can be noisy during night navigations. Slept very well. Food was incredible. Wellington our chef was exceptional. Felix our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Liam our guide was highly knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He guided bilingual throughout each trip and excursion. All staff were highly trained and efficient and reliable. I felt well looked after. I would highly recommend this trip.

Galapagos wildlife and geology. Food on board. Staff professionalism and friendliness.

I absolutely loved my time in the Galapagos and the crew made the trip memorable

Being part of a small group-15 clients- meant you really got to know people well and they were a lovely group of people. Being busy snorkling, kayaking and walking meant we saw as much as possible. I loved being on the boat which travelled between islands mostly at night- good use of time. The crew and naturaliste guide were very polite, friendly and helpful.

Snorkling and kayaking frequently. Seeing the sea lions playing so often and being able to swim with them. Seeing the blue footed boobies and frigates so often.

Comfortable and friendly boat

For the price paid this was very good value for money The cabin and bathroom were big enough to be really comfortable throughout the trip and the small balcony was well worth the extra. Plenty of room on board to relax and being a cat it was very stable (compared to a mono) for walking around and sleeping. Swimming alongside sea lions, penguins, sharks, large turtles, rays and a wide range of other fish that were somewhat larger for their type than seen elsewhere were our main highlights of the trip - plus of course seeing BF Boobies and Frigate birds close up in flight and roosting with their chicks. On board guide was Edwardo, really nice chap with lots of knowledge, I would just have preferred him to edit down his content a little - but no doubt others might prefer even more detail so thats just a personal preference. Finally, the whole crew seemed very happy, helpful and committed in their jobs which made the whole cruise a really enjoyable experience

The cat was big enough to be comfortable but small enough to be personal, the yachts crew were exceptionally efficient and friendly, the itinerary was full on with mostly two land excursions and two snorkelling trips per day, given the limitations of cooking on a small ship the food was exceptional
