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 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

Unforgettable Galapagos Vacation!
Despite an unexpected bout of seasickness, this trip was sublime. The itinerary and description was exactly as described and in most cases exceeded our expectations. We were clearly told the day's plans including excursion details and the staff (Manuel, Anthony, Johnny, Edwin, etc) were ready to greet us when we returned and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Carmen, our naturalist, was a wealth of knowledge about the animals, flora and fauna. Thank you Galaxy Orion for an unforgettable trip.

Wonderful cruise with top staff
The crew have done their utmost to make us feel at home on board. We saw a lot of pelagics during the cruise, a warm towel and delicious snacks, sometimes hot chocolate, were waiting for us after each dive. The staff even rinsed and shampooed all our gear at the end of our stay. A real treat!

I booked a dream trip and that's exactly what I received!
In addition to unique diving experiences, I was very positively impressed by the excellent, creative, healthy and balanced food that was offered to us at every meal. The crew and dive guides were also constantly striving to make happy memories for all guests beyond the actual service.

- Dives were all filled with incredible experiences. Diving with a pot of dephins, achules of hammerhead sharks and with tiger sharks was unique.
