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.

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 !

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.
