Description
The Aqua Yacht is a low budget cruise with 9 air-conditioned double cabins. Each cabin also has a private bathroom. A big sundeck offers a lot of space to relax in the sun. The boat can accommodate up to 16 passengers.
As with most cruises, the itinerary includes the western sites of the archipelago, the famous sites of Wolf and Darwin Islands further north, but also the Fernandina and Isabela Islands further east.
The Punta Vicente Roca site is a cleaning station for Mola Mola, and 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 land tortoises.
The Aqua offers diving cruises and adventure cruises (on demand).
The Aqua’s itinerary is from Tuesday to Tuesday.
