Tour overview
The Tip Top V catamaran is a Luxury-category vessel sailing Galapagos with four programme lengths and a clear split between an eastern and a western circuit, so you can also combine both in the 15-day version.
The 4-day route takes in Bachas Beach, Genovesa’s Prince Philip’s Steps and Darwin Bay, South Plaza and Santa Fe, and the Twin Craters in the Santa Cruz highlands. The 8-day West route runs Mosquera Islet, Sullivan Bay, Rabida, Fernandina’s Espinoza Point and Isabela’s Elizabeth Bay, Urbina Bay and Tagus Cove. The 8-day East route heads for Genovesa, Floreana, Espanola and San Cristobal’s Kicker Rock and Cerro Brujo.
Ecosportour is an Ecuadorian operator and we sell the Tip Top V catamaran direct. Ask us for the current rate, cabin availability and the full list of on-board services before you book. Not sure when to sail? Read our guide to the best time to visit Galapagos.
