Amazing unforgettable trip on the beautiful Alya.
What a truly amazing experience! We absolutely loved the Alya. Delightful staff, lovely cabins with private balconies & communal areas with plenty of space. The food was beyond all my expectations & plentiful & we even had a lesson in how to make Ceviche. We were extremely fortunate to have an excellent guide in Fabian along with lovely fellow passengers who along with the superb staff helped to make the whole experience unforgettable. We saw so much more wildlife than expected & the snorkelling was a particular highlight for me. I would recommend anyone thinking of a trip to the Galápagos to book a trip on the Alya. You will not be disappointed.

I will remember the trip of a lifetime, thank you to the travelers, guides and crew who accompanied me, and thank you to Liveaboard
This five-day, four-night itinerary was great. There were 8 people on this trip, 5 of them from the United States and 2 from Brazil, and they were all very good. As a solo traveller, I was pleasantly surprised to have a separate room to myself. I told liveaboard that I was vegetarian when I booked, so I was flattered to have a separate vegetarian option for each meal on Alya, and I was very grateful to liveaboard for calling or emailing me twice to confirm the details of the trip. Also regarding snorkeling, I had never snorkeled before, so I was very scared at first, but the tour guide Fernanda would take me on a snorkeling trip every time, and the lifebuoy, life jacket and her help made me fully enjoy the last snorkeling from the worry of going into the water at the beginning to the last ten. Snorkeling equipment and clothes are also provided on board, and because of myopia, I was fitted with a myopia mask in advance, which also played a big role this time. 🙏 Thank you to the crew and guide of the Alya, Fernanda, and to the American and Brazilian friends who were on board this time, it was an experience of a lifetime, and I was deeply touched by the wildlife, the natural environment and the way people and animals get along with each other.

A true five star experience
Snorkeling with sea creatures was the highlight of our trip. The snacks, hot drinks and warm towels were very much appreciated after all water excursions. We truly appreciated the attention to all the little things on the boat.
