Highlights
The Nemo II offers a truly intimate cruising experience; with just seven cabins, accommodating a maximum of 14 guests on each cruise, you can be assured of a friendly vibe and personalized service. All cabins have a private bathroom and air conditioning. Some have a double bed, and others have two single bunks. Savour delicious cuisine in the classy dining room and feel the sun’s warm rays on your face as you relax on the sun deck. There is also an indoor lounge from where you can enjoy the views and learn more about the area with the A/V system, and an onboard guide can also help answer any questions you may have. A kayak is carried for further explorations of the waters, though you’ll also be able to get close to wildlife without leaving your small ship cruise vessel.
Join an eight-day cruise on the Nemo II and be dazzled by the diverse and unusual wildlife, the magical underwater world, and the picturesque vistas of the Galapagos. There are plenty of activities to enjoy. There are two routes to choose between, both starting and finishing at Baltra. The North itinerary takes guests to Santa Cruz, complete with a trip to the Charles Darwin Station, to various points on the island of Isabela, to Buccaneer Cove on Santiago, where snorkeling, kayaking, and panga riding are on the menu of activities, and then to the islands of Rabida, Genovesa, and Daphne. The South program also visits the Charles Darwin Station on Santa Cruz before sailing to San Cristobal and Lobos Island. Other highlights include diverse stops on Espanola, Floreana, Santa Fe, and Santiago islands.
The friendly staff members of the Nemo II will be keen to help you enjoy your trip from the moment you board the boat. Reserve your cabins for a memorable adventure in the Galapagos by booking online.

Magical and memorable adventure in the Galapagos
It was amazing to be on a small boat with a small group - so that we all got to take full advantage of every opportunity to observe wildlife. Kayaking, snorkeling, hiking were all wonderful. Highlights included early morning panga rides in the mangroves, snorkeling with marine iguanas and sea turtles, and a being surrounded by a leaping pod of playful dolphins at sunset.

- Variety of activities and wildlife - action-packed. Communal outdoor spaces on deck perfect for enjoying the view and getting to know fellow passengers (small group of 11 - really nice). Attention to details - like fresh fruit juice and snacks awaiting us after snorkel outings or hikes.

A life changing experience - a real privilege and a big thank you from Alastair and Ruth
I have always wanted to go to the Galapagos. A trip of a lifetime. The highlights we being able to snorkel for the first time (at 65!) and Leo helped me grow in confidence and maximise the experience. We loved the walks onto different islands and seeing the landscape and wildlife at such close quarters. The team were thoughtful and so hard working. The food was delicious and freshly prepared in a small area. My husband was not well while on the cruise (nothing to do with the cruise) but we were given good advice/care/medicines to make the most of our trip.

- Our guide Leo's motivation, skill and passion to help us make the most of the Galapagos. The crew who worked so hard as a team to make this special - nothing was too much effort. Being able to snorkel safely for the first time in my life - seeing turtles and penguins.

An amazing experience. Loved it.
Absolutely loved this experience. Amazing close encounters with wildlife both on land and in the water. Small group and relaxed boat. Good food. So many highlights - giant tortoises on Isabela, marine iguanas on Fernandina, the birds on Genovesa, the walk on the lava fields at Santiago. Wonderful all round.

By far the best choice for Galapagos cruise!
I choose Nemo 2 for my Galapagos cruise because I wanted to experience catamaran type of sailing ship & be able to snorkel in many destinations. Oh how good was my decision! Nemo 2 is very stable and you don't get seasick as easily as in other types of ships. Its also small and has perfect group size of 14; You'll get to know others very well and group spirit will be great! I also liked hospitality of crew; they work hard in order to keep ship very clean and you satisfied; Food is great, and there are tasty snacks and soft drinks between meals! And our guide was amazing! He was really helpful and answered to our questions with great enthusiasm! And yes, you can do a lot of snorkeling with Nemo 2 !! which is great!

Trip of a lifetime.
Best vacation ever. Weather was good, the chef delivered wonderful meals every day including a variety of vegetarian options; the ship was great, but I was disappointed we did not do any sailing. The online information needs to reflect this more accurately, our guide shared his extensive knowledge of the islands and their histories, and its residents. He had great way of presenting complex information about the islands.
