We got a fantastic experience from the crew and felt very welcome!
From start to finish a very hospitable and motivated team (which really came across as a team) that gave you a very welcome feeling, a small drink and/or snack after every activity. A full program with many activities. We had a 4 night cruise so it is very nice to experience a lot. Guide was very good and enthusiastic. Food and drink was excellent. My wife is vegetarian and there was certainly enough attention for that, although the vegetarian dishes could sometimes be a little more original (although we understand that on a ship with small occupancy the possibilities are limited). What also surprised us was that our fellow passengers were usually on the same page: mainly going for the nature experience and little fuss. All very nice, down-to-earth people!

The best week of my life!
We saw EVERYTHING! sea lions, white tip sharks, hammerhead sharks, galapagos sharks, whale sharks, eagle rays, HUMPBACK WHALES, ORCAS..... it's been a dream! The boat ride is challenging, I'm almost constantly sea sick but the crew did their best to take care of my needs, and they are amazing!! They took care of diving equipments after every dive so we get to enjoy the most out of it. Also love how chill and happy they are:) The food is amazing too, i did not expect to have good food on the boat but I was impressed! Would absolutely recommend this liveaboard to everyone!

Absoluetly beautiful! Couldnt have gone any better!
Absolutely amazing experience! I loved how the day was kept busy with many activities throughout the day at so many different places. Truly one of the most amazing cruises. The crew was amazing and the food was spectacular. The chefs made everything to perfection with many buffets and desserts after lunch and dinner was definitely a win! Such an amazing experience and definitely worth the money. Wouldn't have wanted to visit the Galapagos any other way! Thank you!

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
