Sustainability on board the Tip Top V
At Galapatours we love and respect the pristine ecosystems and fascinating wildlife of the Galápagos Islands. To protect the archipelago, all vessels in Galápagos must have sophisticated water filtration systems, modern, efficient engines, and strict maintenance schedules to minimize pollution. Furthermore, The Galápagos National Park authority defines exact cruising routes that dictate which ships can visit which highlights at what day and time, as well as limiting passenger numbers.
But at Galapatours we like to go even further: We voluntarily offset all the CO2 emissions of every cruise we sell - at no cost to you. You can also play your part by traveling responsibly and following our Eco Guidelines during your stay.

Food & Drinks on board the Tip Top V
The food on our Galapágos Cruises is among the very best you will find in South America. Most of the on-board chefs are internationally trained and have prior experience working in the best hotels and restaurants in Ecuador and indeed around the world.
You can expect a first-class selection of food, including a good variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, locally sourced poultry and fish/seafood, rice and pasta dishes. Most boats will always include some typical Ecuadorian dishes on the menu during your cruise. If you have specific dietary requirements then these can usually be accommodated by the chef providing you have given advance notice. Please make sure you tell us about any allergies or dietary requirements you have at the time you book with us. If you leave it until you arrive at the dockside, then it may well be impossible to accommodate your needs.
Most boats serve a range of options at meal times in a relaxed buffet-style. At the first class and luxury end of the market, some boats have more formal dining where you will be served at your seat. However the atmosphere is always relaxed on board our cruises, and never stuffy or formal.

Trip of a lifetime We travelled as a family on the TipTop V southern/Eastern cruise for 8 days. It was not cheap, but then no Galapagos cruises are. Nonetheless, it was worth every cent. The crew was kind, responsive and generous. They really spoilt us. They took us to incredible places in which we could do a wide range of activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, walking on the beach and more. Felipe, our guide, was absolutely excellent. We had a lot of fun with him as well as learning so much from his extensive knowledge about the islands. Pablo, the cruise director, always made sure everything was perfect. If your coming to Galápagos for a trip of your life time, we would say from our experience that you couldn’t go wrong with Tip Top V. Source: TripAdvisor

Trip of a lifetime We booked an 8 day cruise on TipTopV with Babette at Galapatours. It was really the trip of a lifetime. Galapatours were extremely helpful in all aspects of the planning. There was at one point a mix up for which we shared responsibility, but Galapatours ensured it was quickly sorted out and that we were happy. I would not hesitate to book through them again.
