Great experience
Fantastic trip and unforgettable experience. The boat is not new but it is clean and well maintained and offers everything you need on a diving trip. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great guides, who not only take care of their divers but have extensive knowledge about dive sites, wildlife and Galapagos archipelago as well.

Crew and diving Spectacular and incredible. 100% recommended.
Extraordinary experience, highly recommended.The boat was great, the crew very aware of everything. The dive guides are very prepared, friendly and very helpful. The food on the boat was delicious, all homemade and served deliciously. My girlfriend is celiac, and they prepared gluten-free food for her every day. The service with liveaboard.com also great, very dynamic and agile and an extraordinary service.

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!

I was able to see everything I wanted to see.
I didn't think I would be able to see all the fish at all the points. Whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, spotted eagle rays, sea lions, iguanas, mambo, ginger tornados. It was the most spectacular dive I've ever done.
