Köln Galapagos Cruise

Tip Top III Bewertung und Empfehlung Das Schiff war großartig. Hinzu kommt, dass uns die Inseln komplett in ihren Bann gezogen haben und die anderen Reisenden waren auch gut drauf. Auf der Tip Top verlief alles wunderbar nach Plan. Die Besatzung war immer zur Stelle, um zu helfen und waren immer auf dem Laufenden. Sie waren zwar nicht immer gut gelaunt aber jeder von uns hat mal einen schlechten Tag. Die Kabinen sind im Vergleich zu Hotelzimmern kleiner aber der Ausblick ist fantastisch. Für manche Gäste war die Bewegeung des Schiffes nachts etwas probletamtisch und für andere nicht. Ich habe gut gschlafen. Das Essen war frisch und schmeckte uns. Unser Guide Angelika was sehr gut und wusste unglaublich viel. Sie macht den Job seit 30 jahren und ist immernoch genauso euphorisch, wie am ersten Tag.

Incredible experience aboard the Tip Top III Just returned from an 8 day cruise aboard the Tip Top III. We went on the western route, and saw so many incredible sights. The crew was very solicitious and took great care of us. There were only 11 of us on the boat - really nice small number. Although this is a smaller boat, the service is much more individualized. We encountered several larger cruise ships, and I was so glad I had booked on a smaller boat. The activities were more physicially demanding than I anticipated, but doable. We hiked on the lava fields, was difficult at times, but we all did fine. We also went up and down stairs, around boulders, up hills, and in and out of the pangas or zodiacs each day. I really enjoyed the physical activitiy, but again, was more demanding than I had previously believed. Anyone that has physical limitations, should probably not book this tour. We had several opportunities to snorkel, would recommend, but definitely need a wet suit. The water was rather chilly, but worth it. The brochure provided by Wittmer listed more snorkeling opportunities that we did not get to take advantage of, so that was really my only disappointment. Also, they only offered beer and wine, and was a little on the expensive side. The Galapagoes Islands are so interesting and the wildlife is abundant and diverse. After visiting I can see how they are named the Enchanted Islands. Was such a great trip, would highly recommend. And would recommend the Tip Top boats.

die Tip Top III war unglaublich Ich war auf einer 8 Tages Kreuzfahrt auf der Tip Top III, westliche Route. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren unvergesslich. Die Crew war sehr fürsorglich und achtete auf die Passagiere, von denen es 11 gab. Eine tolle kleine Truppe. Aud diesem etwas kleinerem Schiff gab es sehr persönlichen Service. Die Freizeitaktivitäten forderten etwas sportlichkeit aber es war machbar. Das Schnorcheln war auch ein Erlebnis, ich empfehle jedoch Nasstauchanzüge, da das Wasser etwas kühl war. Die akloholischen Getränke sind etwas teuer und es gibt nur Bier und Wein. Das ist eine Typfrage, manchen Leuten reicht das. Die Galapagos Inseln haben ir sehr gefallen und af die Tip Top Schiffe sind zu empfehlen!

Wir kommen gerne wieder! Wir hatten einen wunderschönen 5-tägigen Trip auf der Tip Top III. Super Schiff, gemütliche Kabinen und Gemeinschaftsbereiche, sehr leckeres Essen, freundliche Crew, geniale Ausflüge und ein Guide, der sehr viel wusste und uns die Inseln näher gebracht hat. Wir kommen beim nächsten Galapagos-Besuch gerne wieder! Quelle: https://goo.gl/YtQxin

Tip Top III Itinerary 2 Review and Advice I am posting this because there was little information on this ship and its itinerary. Just got back three days ago. Overall the trip was great. Largely because the Galapagos Islands are amazing and we lucked out to have so a fine group of fellow travelers. The Tip Tip operations are very smooth and professional. Everything went smoothly. Staff helped as needed are were always on top of things. I will say as my fellow travelers agreed the crew was great, but never seemed happy. It took about five days of the eight day cruise to see a smile. No big deal. They took care of us and everything we needed. Beds were made and rooms cleaned up while we were at breakfast. They were always looking out for us. That was most important. Then accommodations we nice. We had the upper level double bed. A little tight, but great views out of window. It was adequate. Had to step over your bed-mate if you are sleeping next to the hull. For many reasons, you don't want to be in the room more than to change and sleep. The noise and movement of the ship at night were a problem for some, but not for others. Location on the ship didn't matter. Its just how light a sleeper you are. I slept well. Food was okay. If it was a local restaurant, I wouldn't go to it. I am a food snob living in a major metropolitan area. Given the circumstances, I was satisfied. Food was fresh, tasty, and ample. The pasta was cold one night. Food is not the main feature anyhow. They serve beer and wine. If you want harder stuff, BYOB. The guide, Angelika, was great and very knowledgeable. Even though she has been doing this for 30 years, as she will remind you, she brought such enthusiasm and joy just like it was the first time.

Highly recommended, thank you Galapatours! Mr. Wittmer would be proud of the professionalism, courtesy, attention and environmentalism of his crew aboard the TT3. His legacy lives on!
