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!

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!!!

Great diving
Aqua is a comfortable boat with a wonderful crew. Food, drinks, and facilities were excellent. Rental gear is in very good shape and the crew maintains the boats and equipment very well. The crew and dive guides prioritize safe diving. They were also very flexible and rearranged the itinerary to fit the conditions as best as possible. The diving was great - all kinds of sharks, rays and mola mola, etc. Plus, unlike other dive boats, Aqua’s dive guides are also naturalists and were able to lead panga visits to islands so we could learn about and photograph wildlife above the water between dives. Great trip, we highly recommend it!

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!
