Highlights
The 26m Nortada liveaboard presents a different kind of Galapagos dive liveaboard experience. With only 4 cabins onboard and accommodating up to 8 guests, the Nortada offers divers a more intimate and personalized experience. The dive platform with a bench and camera table was carefully designed with divers in mind, and the 2 tenders and 2 assigned dive guides support small dive groups and an attentive experience.
The comprehensive 7 or 14-night itineraries to the world-famous dive sites, including Wolf and Darwin, nearly guarantee guests' dive trips of a lifetime. Pelagic sightings involving hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, giant mantas, whale sharks, and mola molas are not uncommon, and guests can also hope to see the Flightless Cormorants, Galapagos Penguins, Marine Iguanas, and several other endemic species during the cruise. Nitrox is available for an additional cost, as is rebreather support and technical diving. For non-diving guests, the Nortada also offers the Naturalist itinerary year-round.
The Nortada is available for individual bookings and full charter. Book online today to start your amazing Galapagos adventure.

Diving in the Galapagos you will see hundreds of hammerheads, marine iguanas and schools of many different types of fish.
Seeing schools of hammerhead sharks at Darwin and Wolf Island Swimming with marine iguanas and seeing them eat green algae underwater at Fernandino Island Swimming with Galapagos sea lions and how playful they were. Seeing flightless cormorants dive for fish. Seeing Mola-Mola. The food and juices on board were great. The boat was very clean and the staff were friendly. The dingy rides around the smaller islands that allowed us to observe endemic birds was really cool.

- Diving at Darwin and Wolf Islands with schools of hammerhead sharks. The food on board was spectacular. At each of the islands after diving, they took us on the dingy to see the edemic birds.

Great liveaboard
I have already done a few lives on board, some with you and this has been the best. I have been lucky enough to coincide on the trip with a colleague of yours, Joaquín, an Argentinian who works for Liveaboard from Valencia. The first day my GoPro died, he did not hesitate to lend me one of his cameras for the whole trip and at the end of it he gave me a t-shirt from your company. It was a pleasure to dive by his side, I congratulate you for having people like this on the staff. It's been great life on board, the people on the boat spectacular and the dives second to none, thank you for everything.

Great diving shame about lack of nitox
Whale shark and hammerheads at Darwin were amazing but other dives would have a fantastic variety from penguins and playful sea lions to the strange mola
