Fun boat and once in a lifetime diving
The crew did a great job of setting a fun atmosphere with little celebrations throughout the trip (welcome and last dive, holidays, crossing the equator). Guides had great knowledge of the sites and were able to help us see all the species we were most interested in.

Great adventure
It was an incredible getaway. The islands have their own energy as does the ocean and its inhabitants. You will have the chance to see great things - but best is to go with no expectations. The ocean shows you what it wants to show you - in my case a whale shark, two sunfishes and a sea turtle threesome

Good value for money for Galapagos liveaboard. I hope this becomes a “twice in a lifetime experience”
Amazing liveaboard experience in the Galapagos. The crew was very friendly and helpful, the boat was well maintained, great value for money overall in that part of the world. I had my own equipment so cannot comment on the quality of rental equipment. Plenty of food, various options always available. We were lucky to also have a great group of divers and had good times on board as well as underwater

Perfect Livabord experience!
The diving at Darwin&wolf was a dream come true. The crew did everything to make everyone happy. After the dives, there was always hot coffee, tee or hot chocolate and some snacks waiting for us. Food was excellent! very divers, rich, tasty and creative! Also always great options for vegetarians! Cabins where cleaned every day. Nice sundeck to warm up! Just loved that trip and can highly recommend the Aqua and its crew!

Amazing itinerary and guiding, wonderful staff - highly recommended!
This cruise exceeded all my expectations! The itinerary is undoubtedly the best you can get for a week, tailormade for exploring all the most amazing endemic species of Galapagos. Thanks to our guides (Christian "Cocarocha" and Christian Garcia) we encountered whale sharks, eagle rays, giant manta, other stingrays and peruvian torpedo rays, octopus, red-lipped batfish, mola-mola (moon fish), marine iguanas, sea lions, Galapagos sharks, hundreds of hammerheads and turtles. The friendly and helpful staff made it as effortless as a liveaboard cruise with 19 dives in a week can possibly be. And hey - the Chef: Totally awesome! New dishes each day with local food (a lot from the sea), neatly arranged on our plates. Apetizers and dessert. In practice, two dinners per day. Undoubtedly, the trip of our lifetime!

Amazing week in divers’ paradise
Had an amazing week of wonder and awe as we discovered a wide variety of Galapagos underwater landscapes and wildlife, from large schools of hammerheads and whale sharks to Galapagos seahorses and red-lipped bat fish. Life onboard the Aqua was a dream: excellent service for an effortless week, with daily cleaned cabins and fresh treats welcoming us after each excursion. Put on your wetsuit and dive is the key word there !

Unique underwater world, great diving experiences and very helpful staff.
The trip was indescribable and the dive sites unique. We were able to see a lot under water, the diversity of creatures and the special vegetation above and below water makes a trip to the Galapagos Islands special.The staff was very helpful, the food delicious and the ship big enough for the group.
