An experienced naturalist guide leads daily island, panga and snorkelling excursions. She carries kayaks that can be used at certain sites permitted by the National Park. The use of snorkelling gear is included and wetsuits are available to rent.

7 cabins which vary in size and layout (some with upper and lower berths), but each with a private bathroom and air-conditioning.

Our comments

The low passenger to guide ratio gives you more 1 on 1 time with the guide; great for budding naturalists with lots of questions!

Client comments and reviews

We had a great time in the Galapagos and thoroughly enjoyed it. The boat, guide and crew were fantastic and it all worked really well with the children. The food was very good and we really enjoyed being on a smaller boat even if it meant sailings could be a little rougher. We had a good mixed group that was on the younger side which was great. The larger boats seemed to have more elderly passengers. With fewer passengers getting on and off the boat was easy. We would fully recommend Nemo II and its crew. - SS (May 2014)
