Bucket list trip was amazing
The itinerary, crew and naturalist were excellent. The service and food were incredible. Each activity was well planned and executed, it always finished with a fresh drink and delicious snack. The boat was older but well maintained. This was an excellent value for the money. Thank you to the Orion family for the trip of a lifetime.

The equipment is perfect, the service is first-class, and the diving guide is excellent.
Excellent service!
- Recommended for
- 1. All aspects of the service in the ship are dedicated and detail-oriented. 2. When on the boat, the navigator will pay attention to the sea surface and guide everyone to watch in time. 3. Our English is not very good, and the dive guide will explain patiently.

Relaxing and incredible
This trip exceeded my expectations, our naturalist guide Victor provided a lot of background to the formation of the islands and information about all the various animals we saw. The crew went above and beyond keeping our cabins clean and all passengers well fed. The captain even spent an hour sailing around a dolphin pod and helping us hunt down whales on one of our sailings. There were so many priceless moments on this trip and the 8 day / 7 night itinerary had us alone with no other humans or boats spotted for a day or two in the middle.

Amazing food, activities & crew during our first Liveaboard
We had an excellent experience during our first liveaboard. The food was much better and fancy than we expected. Besides, the activities, including panga rides, snorkeling and land excursions were great. Lastly, the crew was always very kind and helpful.
