Great time
Had a great week on the Galaxy Orion. The itinerary was packed and we saw so much wildlife in our week. Loved going snorkelling everyday and getting to swim with white tip reef sharks, turtles, sealions and many fish

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!

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.
