Amazing experience worth repeating
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!

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!

Great experience diving with Aqua
The trip was great. The rooms were nice and spacious, food was good especially options for someone who doesn’t eat meat, and the diving was awesome. The only complaint is our toilet didn’t work for most of the trip which is very inconvenient. The staff made this trip excellent by accommodating requests and keeping things fun.

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.

Amazing itinerary and guiding, wonderful staff - highly recommended!
This cruise exceeded all my expectations! The itinerary is undoubtedly the best you can get for a week, tailormade for exploring all the most amazing endemic species of Galapagos. Thanks to our guides (Christian "Cocarocha" and Christian Garcia) we encountered whale sharks, eagle rays, giant manta, other stingrays and peruvian torpedo rays, octopus, red-lipped batfish, mola-mola (moon fish), marine iguanas, sea lions, Galapagos sharks, hundreds of hammerheads and turtles. The friendly and helpful staff made it as effortless as a liveaboard cruise with 19 dives in a week can possibly be. And hey - the Chef: Totally awesome! New dishes each day with local food (a lot from the sea), neatly arranged on our plates. Apetizers and dessert. In practice, two dinners per day. Undoubtedly, the trip of our lifetime!

Good value for money for Galapagos liveaboard. I hope this becomes a “twice in a lifetime experience”
Amazing liveaboard experience in the Galapagos. The crew was very friendly and helpful, the boat was well maintained, great value for money overall in that part of the world. I had my own equipment so cannot comment on the quality of rental equipment. Plenty of food, various options always available. We were lucky to also have a great group of divers and had good times on board as well as underwater

- Very well planned liveaboard, with check dive on day 1 and land excursion on last day. Very friendly crew. (Of course) breathtaking dive sites.
