The highly advanced Santa Cruz II Galapagos Cruise is an Expedition Vessel specifically designed to operate in isolated regions, making it the perfect fit for exploring the remote Galapagos Islands. With some of the latest advances in sustainable sailing, the Santa Cruz II Galapagos Cruise also aims to protect the delicate and beautiful ecosystem that it explores. With the Eastern Galapagos Itinerary, you get a chance to really connect with the beauty and nature of Galapagos. This tour visits some of the most standout sites like Punta Pitt - the only place where you can see the three species of boobies in one location, and Punta Suárez - where you can see one of the most impressive concentrations of wildlife. These sites are only accessible on a limited number of itineraries. Additionally, the Santa Cruz II offers a better ratio of guests per naturalist guide (12:1), which makes for a more intimate experience and a wider selection of activities offered simultaneously.
