Excellent Value with World-Class Diving
Excellent overall experience. Aqua offers great value, the food was amazing, and the diving was outstanding with long bottom times. The dive guides were experienced and familiar with each site, while the daily schedule provided the perfect amount of time for both diving and relaxation.

Fantastic One-Week Diving Trip on Aqua
My boyfriend and I went on a one-week liveaboard trip on Aqua, and it was an amazing experience! The boat was simple but very well maintained, and the staff was fantastic—extremely friendly and professional. They took care of everything we needed. The dive guides were excellent and explained everything clearly. The rental diving equipment seemed new and in great condition. We loved all the dives, even though we traveled during the warmer season, which is considered less popular than the colder months for liveaboards in the Galápagos. Still, we saw plenty of marine life, and it was worth every dollar! The service on board was excellent. The boat was always clean, and the food was delicious and varied. There were also snacks and juices after the dives, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend this liveaboard—it’s absolutely worth it!

Amazing experience worth repeating
My first trip to Galapagos . I have enjoyed every minute of it. Crew of Aqua were devoted, hard working. Cabin cleaned spotlessly. Diving instructors ( specially Max ) made our dives special every time. Food was amazing, well above expectations. Would be more than happy to go again!

Wow!
We felt extremely safe, the guides and crew were very knowledgeable and are just wonderful people. And of course we saw absolutely spectacular things under and above water. You can really tell how much everyone on board does their job with enthusiasm and dedication and that made the week a highlight for life.
