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.

Fabuloso; best diving of my life with a crew who loved being there too.
The marine life without a doubt and the shear beauty all around in a very place on this earth, the dive masters and panga drivers who took great care of us. As well as the rest of the crew; hot towels after dives, rooms, food, party at the equator and a great crew who were all loved their jobs and were like family. I just got back a week ago ( cold season ) already thinking about returning in the warm season. Thank you Galaxy Dive Crew for an amazing life time memory I'm still smiling about.

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 boat crew and guide made our experience that much more amazing
The fact that we had such fast paced itinerary to see as much as possible was the best thing of all. All the activities were fun and interesting, with the exception of paddle boarding which we were promised and the boat didn’t have them
