The Calipso is a 35.4m/117ft yacht completely rebuilt in 2019. The diving deck is spacious and efficient. The outdoor terrace includes a spa, an alfresco dining area and sun loungers. The spacious living and dining room offers incredible panoramic views on both sides. All double cabins are located on the main or upper deck and have large panoramic windows overlooking the sea. 1 single cabin on the lower deck is also available at no extra charge. All cabins are equipped with individual air conditioning, a television, a safe, a storage area and  hairdryer.

All departures are conducted with two guides diving from two different small boats. This allows for better diving and more chances of seeing marine wildlife.

As with most cruises, the itinerary includes the western sites of the archipelago, the famous sites of Wolf and Darwin Islands further north and also the Islands of Fernandina and Isabela further east.

The Punta Vicente Roca site is a cleaning station for Mola Mola, and is rich in diverse species and probably has the most coral in all of the Galapagos. Cape Marshall is a site where it is almost certain to observe giant manta rays. At Cape Douglas, you snorkel with marine iguanas and penguins as they feed. The itinerary also includes a stop on Santa Cruz Island, the most populous island in the archipelago, to observe giant tortoises and enjoy the atmosphere of the town of Puerto Ayora.

The Calipso offers diving cruises and adventure cruises.

The Calipso’s itinerary is from Thursday to Thursday
