Tour overview

The Nemo II is a Comfortable-class catamaran and one of the easiest ways into the Galapagos: short 4-day tasters, 5-day routes and full 8-day loops, all with a certified bilingual naturalist guide on every landing.

Two directions to pick from. The northern option runs Bachas Beach, Genovesa’s Darwin Bay and El Barranco, Sullivan Bay and Rabida. The southern option takes in North Seymour, Kicker Rock and Lobos Island, Floreana’s Champion Islet and Post Office Bay, and Espanola’s Gardner Bay and Suarez Point. The 8-day versions combine them, adding Isabela’s Elizabeth Bay, Urbina Bay and Tagus Cove and Fernandina’s Espinoza Point.

Snorkel equipment, all meals from lunch on day one and unlimited water, tea, coffee and snacks are in the rate. Wetsuits are available on board for a small daily fee.

Booked direct with Ecosportour, an Ecuadorian operator, so the cruise, your Galapagos flight and your mainland nights sit in a single itinerary.
