The perfect five days

We loved our five days on board. The amount of activities was just perfect and always getting greeted with drinks and snacks when coming back to the boat was something that probably spoiled us forever. The crew was outstanding and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Recommended for
The attentiveness of the crew. The amount of activities. The warm drinks after snorkeling.

Galaxy wildlife - experience of a lifetime

We really enjoyed our naturalist tour on Galaxy Orion. We are not accustomed to cruises or being pampered quite so much but did enjoy the range of activities and that our cruisemate were also there for the wildlife. And we did see and experience plenty. Our only suggestions would be for some more early morning activities before breakfast and for four activities on more days.

Recommended for
Crew and guide we're very accommodating. Range of activities - walks, snorkeling, panga, kayak. That we visited some farther, less visited sites..

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.
