September 2025.
Had a great week on Aquas Pengiuno live aboard. The crew are outstanding, attending to every need with no issue. The quantity, quality and variety of doos was incredible considering its prepared on board in a small kitchen. The diving was amazing as you would expect at this location. All diving is done from RHIB’s and again the crew helping you get kitted up and into the RHIB are outstanding. So helpful. The dive guides are incredibly knowledgeable about the locations and history of the dive sites and islands. Added an extra element to the trip to understand the formation of the islands. Being there in September we were lucky enough to see everything we hoped to including whale shakes. Hammerheads, manta rays and even orcas. If I was lucky enough to go again, I would go with this boat again. Everything from being met at the airport to the diving was managed seamlessly by the company and the crew.

Great trip...wonderful crew!
The diving was very, very interesting - lots of sharks (2 whale sharks), and all the other stuff that you are supposed to see in the Galapagos. The crew was very attentive and went out of their way to make the trip great.

Unforgettably beautiful liveaboard - A diver's dream
Our experience on the diving safari with the Aqua was completely positive.The trip was unforgettable – especially the spectacular underwater world around Darwin and Wolf was a real highlight. The sightings of large schools of hammerhead sharks, two encounters with a whale shark, as well as impressive groups of tuna, barracuda, eagle rays and other shark species have made this safari a unique experience. The dive at Fernandina was particularly impressive, where we were able to watch marine iguanas feeding underwater – a truly extraordinary moment.Everything was also right above water: the food on board was excellent, the crew was very friendly and professional, and the weather played along the whole time. All in all, a top organized trip with many unforgettable impressions.

What a week! Magical wildlife and lovely people!
This week was the best diving of my life: hundreds of hammerhead sharks, several whale sharks, turtles, iguanas, dolphins, and most playful sea lions. Every dive was very unique and had another highlight! Please bear in mind that diving can be challenging due to currents and cold water but definitely worth it. The divemasters Juan Carlos and Jesus were super professional and made the diving experience super safe and most importantly great fun! The whole boat crew was so kind and helpful and the boat was very new and comfy. Surprisingly I had a great night's sleep! Also food was great! I am a vegetarian and was super happy in addition veggie protein sources were provided with every meal. The highlight of the week was all the interesting and lovely travel companions who became a little family.
