Nemo Naturalist Sailing Cruise
Galapagos
Ecuador
One of the best ways to explore the unparalleled natural wonders of the Galapagos is by small sailing yacht. The Nemo II is a "First Class" sailing yachts with room for 14 passengers in private cabins and a crewq of 7 including a Naturalist guide.
The yacht anchors off shore at two sites per day. The sailors transfer our passengers from the yacht to the landing sites in “pangas” (dinghies). These landings can be “wet” or “dry”. At the dry landings you step directly onto rock. At wet landings you will step from the panga into water and wade to shore. The guide and sailor are there to assist you at all landings.
Once on shore, you will follow marked trails set up by the National Park. Your guide will lead these excursions, interpreting and explaining the natural history as you walk along. The shore visits are done at a leisurely pace, allowing plenty of time to enjoy and photograph the amazing wildlife and scenery. You will spend 2 – 3 hours at each site. There is either before or after the afternoon visit..
Be sure to carry with you:
SNORKELING:
On board we have masks, snorkels and fins available, without any cost. Please make sure to rinse mask, snorkel and fins in fresh water after each use.
Snorkeling in the islands is a highlight that can be enjoyed almost daily, sometimes twice a day.
SALOON SERVICE:
We have some Galapagos books, music and videos. Feel free to use Ask the guide to show you the list. There will be a replacement fee charged for any Galapagos book not returned by the end of the cruise.
BAR SERVICE
You will find aboard a variety of soft drinks, beer and liquors. The barman will open a consumption card for you; please sign it every time you request a drink in order to avoid misunderstandings when your bill is presented at the end of your cruise.
