HIGHLAND ADVENTURES

Galapagos Islands ship

Yacht Isabela II

Isabela II carries forty guests with an expedition leader and three naturalist guides certified by the National Park on every departure, so a landing group stays small enough that nobody is craning to hear. Sixteen of her twenty cabins are the same Classic cabin most guests sail; the rest are a pair of family cabins, one single, and the Owner's Cabin. Between landings there is a hot tub on the sun deck, a small gym, kayaks and paddleboards, and a glass-bottom boat for the days you would rather look at the reef and stay dry. She sails the northern, western and south-eastern routes.
