This is a great Galapagos package including a tour of Quito and an 8 day cruise on the Tip Top II, one of the best quality, most sustainable and most comfortable first class catamarans in the Galapagos. In Quito, your hotel will be the beautiful new Hotel Carlota, the first hotel in Quito certified by the US Green Building Council (LEED) for sustainable construction. The Galapagos itinerary operated by the Tip Top II includes Genovesa and the western islands of Isabela and Fernandina, in our opinion one of the most diverse itineraries offered by any yacht in the islands. A great tour at a great price.

The most popular months for visitors tend to be June, July and August, alongside December and January. In terms of climate, bear in mind that it can be a little unpredictable so far from any land mass, but generally speaking December to May is the sunniest period, although there will be some rain. Low season - June to November - brings slightly cooler temperatures, overcast skies and less rainfall. Divers prefer the cooler, cloudier period because the colder water brings even more diverse marine life to the islands.
