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 !

An incredible week full of wonderful diving
Wow! What a week! The crew is doing everything to make the best stay for everyone on board. I loved the hot showers right at the dive area on the boat and the fresh towels after each dive! :) There were plenty of vegan and vegetarian food options and snacks after each dive. The food was delicious! The diving gear was professional, everything worked well. The guiding under water was always amazing! I loved every single dive!! But make sure to know how to dive in these strong conditions before going on a boat around Galapagos ;) The cabins were cleaned every day. As I said, the crew is the best!! Each cabin has its own bathroom with shower and toilet. Thank you for a wonderful week and see you someday in the future :) Muchas gracias amigos!

Great boat, great staff, great trip
Fantastic boat, itinerary and guides. Ran like a well oiled machine, cabins were cleaned and beds made every day, all staff was great, would recommend to anyone. We saw better wildlife than a guy I spoke to who was on a boat that was 2x the cost.

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.

Spectacular experience
An amazing and memorable trip with Aqua in Galapagos. The staff was very friendly and attentive to every need. The guides Juan Carlos and Jesus could not have been better, super cordial and very attentive with security. The food and drinks are very good, you never go hungry! While Galapagos is an expensive destination, it's 100% worth it and I would definitely return to Aqua without thinking about it!
