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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful Marine Life in a special high value liveaboard
We experienced for the first time the awe-inspiring underwater terrain of the Galapagos. We got to see whale sharks, mantas, mola mola, more hammerheads than we could count, marine iguanas and sea lions. We went as a group of seven friends and enjoyed the dives and crew immensely. They were organized and professional. All gear was available and setup for you. We used two inflatables to get our different divers out to the sites, and did up your four dives a day. It was just an awesome value for the price. No need to go on more expensive liveaboard... the marine life, crew experience are the same. Give Aqua a try! Will go again.
