Amazing diving and great value for money
Great Liveaboard with great dive spots. The Aqua boat „Penguino“ might be a little smaller than others, but everything is very good. Super experienced guides, good food every day, sufficient chill out areas. And the diving is amazing, even though we were affected by warmer water temperatures due to El Niño this year.

Great boat, amazing experience
We had a great week on Aqua. It's a small and basic boat but clean, lovely staff and great food. The itinerary was spot on, visiting all the major sites inc. Wolf and Darwin, allowing us to experience the best of the Galapagos. Highly recommended!

Magical week in paradise with exceptional service
The most memorable were the 3 days we spent on the islands of Wolf and Darwin, places so remote and wild that we felt truly privileged to be able to visit them. The crew on the boat were truly exceptional, they looked after and pampered us all the time and always did it with a great attitude, we shared a lot of laughs and smiles with them. The food was always delicious and the facilities on the boat are very comfortable. If I could add something it would be a shade structure and some cushions on the upper deck to be able to enjoy it more because when the sun was strong, you couldn't be upstairs. We loved the Aqua, please give our congratulations to all the staff, professional and lovely. From Captain Luis, crew members Christian and Pancito, guides Simon and Byron, cooks Raul and Francisca, lovely Mercedes and the engineering team, they were all truly lovely. We are happy and very grateful to have lived this experience. Thank you Aqua!! Thank you Galapagos!!!

It was an amazing dive trip!
We had a great experience with Aqua liveaboard. It was much better than anticipated. The guides and wait staff were so professional and helpful. The chef always had fresh fruits, vegetables, and a tasty variety at all meals. The only suggestion I have is to test for covid daily and have a separation of the positive people.
