Galapagos Cruise - Isabela II

With a capacity of only 40 guests, Yacht ISABELA II offers a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy an unforgettable Galapagos expedition. Guests fully experience the sense of discovery and closeness to nature. The ISABELA II Galapagos cruise offers experience of all aspects of the Galapagos: an intimate encounter with wildlife, active volcanoes, a vast Marine Reserve, adventure, comfort and safety.

Our classic Yacht ISABELA II offers the most in-depth week itinerary (Tuesday to Tuesday) allowing guests to enjoy all that Galapagos is famous for: from ancient giant tortoises to penguins, from sleek flamingos to bold sharks, from bizarre flightless cormorants to rugged marine iguanas and from whales and dolphins to dramatic island volcanoes and breathtaking scenery, plus the exploration of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (the second largest in the world) on kayaks, the glass bottom boat, swimming or snorkeling.

The expertise of three English-speaking Naturalist Guides matches their contagious enthusiasm, whether discussing geology or bird watching, snorkeling or stargazing, evolution or marine actitivies. Guests of ISABELA II have the opportunity to explore the islands in small groups with fellow enthusiasts who share their same passion for nature, curiosity and spirit of observation.
