small boat but very comfortable. don't expect spacious cabins. the schedule is busy but everything is planned to live an unforgettable moment. I compare this trip to the safari I did in Africa but by boat!

The perfect five days
We loved our five days on board. The amount of activities was just perfect and always getting greeted with drinks and snacks when coming back to the boat was something that probably spoiled us forever. The crew was outstanding and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Spectacular diving with professional crew and nice travel group.
The trip was great! Arrival and boarding was organized very efficient. The vessel was well suited for the trip, with professional and well-maintained equipment. The crew was simply outstanding. All dive briefings focused fully on safe diving, and to let the group having a joint dive experience. Underwater experience was great, although the water temp turned out to be unusually warm, which let to pelagics staying in greater depth. Nevertheless, we had numerous hammerhead (school) encounters all over the trip. A particular highlight was the "equator baptism", where the crew celebrated with us the equator crossing in a very funny way. :-) In addition to offshore diving, we explored near-shore diving with lots of seal encounters and even some bird watching along the coast. All in all, an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime trip, surely worth the long travel.

Most amazing time ever!!!
We had the most amazing week with @galaxy_diver_liveaboard for this 8D/7N liveaboard experience, booked via @diving.liveaboard The naturalist liveaboard tours the islands to see the wildlife, including lots of land excursions and snorkeling activities 🤿 We left from Baltra and covered the west part of the islands to end back in Nord Seymour. It was the most amazing experience: we’ve seen so many animals and had incredibly beautiful encounters with them under water; we learned a lot about the islands and its wildlife thanks to our incredible guide Renny; we met lovely people on board and had the best food thanks to the amazing Galaxy Divers crew.This was the experience of a lifetime and we’d recommend any nature and animal lover to join such a liveaboard 😍

Best week of our life
We had a really amazing week aboard the Galaxy. The diving was the best of our life, it is really fantastic to see a sea so full of life. We so thousands of hammerheads, humpback whales, orcas, mola mola, Marine iguana and many other. But not only the diving is good, the crew is really friendly and you can feel that there are good vibes in the boat.
