Galapagos Island Tours & Travel | ISABELA II

Isabela The Isabela II is one of the most luxurious yachts cruising the Galapagos and offers an elegant, yet relaxed, atmosphere in which to experience the Enchanted Islands. This outstanding vessel accommodates forty passengers, with twenty outside cabins and an owner's suite, complete with private bathrooms and air-conditioning. Three public decks offer the amenities of a larger vessel, including bar-salon, library, dining room, boutique and souvenir shop, game room, on board doctor, and three multilingual naturalist guides. From dining room to stateroom, one senses the superior quality at all levels of service. Isabela's specially trained chefs prepare a superb selection of meals. The fabulous sun deck is comprised of a bar with ample outdoor seating, an observation area for whale and dolphin watching, a Jacuzzi, and a solarium. As an alternative to snorkeling, a glass-bottom boat offers another opportunity to observe the rich marine life of the Galapagos Islands. The Isabela II will ensure that your trip to Galapagos is an adventure to remember.
