The Galapagos dream!
We had a fantastic week onboard the Galaxy Orion. Everything was smoothly organized, and each day was filled with so many activities to fully experience the Galápagos. The crew was wonderful—so friendly, always smiling, and constantly making sure everyone was having a great time. The naturalist guide is such an essential part of the trip. Ours was kind and funny, but above all incredibly knowledgeable about the archipelago—its history, geology, and biology.

Best time in Galapagos on the Galaxy Orion
The trip to the Galapagos was great, the staff did everything to make us comfortable, the guide knew a lot and conveyed his love for the place to us, the conditions were great and the food was excellent both at meals and every time we returned to the ship, the diving equipment was excellent, except that the room was a bit cramped, other than that it was perfect

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.

Stunning, Amazing, wonderful
When booking this trip, obviously it is a huge amount of money. Let me tell you, it is money well spent. We had an awesome week on the boat, the crew was always helpful, friendly and funny. The trip itself is already nice, but being fully pampered with amazing food and top dive gear, makes it even better. Of course the diving depends on luck and seasonal conditions, but we were extremely lucky, had amazing dives especially in the north at darwin and wolf Islands and saw Whalesharks, Hammerheads, Galapagossharks, turtles, Sea lions, marine Iguanas and multiple other beautiful marine animals on many of those dives. I am already saving up, to do that again, so yes, I can recommend it!
