Tip Top II had very comfortable rooms and it was nice to have a little balcony to be able to sit outside and to air out the room. Housekeeping did a great job freshening the room while we were out on excursions. The dining room had snacks and drinks available throughout the day. Meals were tasty and abundant.

We had several options for our vessel when traveling to the Galapagos Islands but we were OVERWHELMED with the crew and naturalists of Tip Top II. They were just that... Tip Top!!
