MOST COMFORTABLE ‘SUPERIOR TOURIST’ CLASS SHIPS

Explore the enchanted islands on board the tastefully refurbished Bonita. An excellent value option when exploring the wildlife haven of the Galapagos.

With capacity for just sixteen passengers, Bonita is arguably one of the most comfortable ‘Superior Tourist’ class ships in the Galapagos. Despite operating in the Galapagos for a number of years, Bonita has recently been given a new lease of life with a full refurbishment and now represents one of the best value ways to discover Darwin’s enchanted islands.

There are nine cabins, four of which are on the upper deck, two on the main deck and three on the lower deck. Cabins range from 9-11m2 and all have air-conditioning, private bathrooms and main and upper deck cabins have picture windows. Lower deck cabins have portholes and are setup as a triple, with a bunk bed. The layout of the boat means it is ideal for single travellers and families.

During your cruise you will be looked after by a highly trained crew of eight, plus your English speaking naturalist guide. Each day briefings take place in the lounge, where guests can enjoy a tea, coffee or refreshing juice, before spending the day off the boat on a variety of excursions, led by your naturalist guide. Activities include snorkelling, kayaking, zodiac rides and exploring the different landing sights within the archipelago.

When back on the boat, guests can enjoy a delicious buffet lunch prepared by the chef, featuring fresh salads and traditional Ecuadorian dishes, including ceviche. The large picture windows in Bonita’s dining room mean guests can enjoy the beautiful views, whilst they refuel for the afternoon activities.

Between activities guests can relax in the lounge, visit the bridge or enjoy a drink on the boat’s sun deck – you may be lucky and see a pod of dolphins swimming past!

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91ºÚÁÏÍø and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
