Aqua liveaboard
I'm 67, with 500+ dives, and this was my first liveaboard, so I was a bit anxious. But, the trip fulfilled all my expectations, the crew is the best, food was excellent, the dive guides did their best to show us everything that is "available" this time of the year.

Aqua live aboard provides a great way to explore the underwater wonders of the Galapagos Islands.
The unique diving experience; diving with sharks, rays Mola molas, sea lions and marine iguanas was a highlight that was made all the better by the efficiency of the organized crew getting divers in and out of the water. The food was excellent, served buffet style with many options, it was hard not to over eat. In most cases there was a soup or appetizer and always dessert. There were two long transits that went through the night. Several passengers experienced varying levels of sea sickness. Come prepared with anti nausea medication.

Easy 10 out of 10
Diving the Galapagos was a bucket list item. This trip crossed it off and then immediately put it right back on again. Daniel and Jesus were brilliant dive guides and ensured we saw everything there was. The crew are brilliant too and work well together. They operate like ninjas where tasks are done without you even seeing or asking. Well oiled machine!

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 !

Great price/value liveaboard
Very comfortable liveaboard with great itinerary. The dive guides were excellent as well as organization of the diving itself (including gear preparation, transportation to the dive sites etc.). Cabins are well maintained and comfortable, food was outstanding. Overall very good value for money.

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!
