Highlights
The Calipso liveaboard schedules year-round diving in the Galapagos National Park. Completely renovated in 2019, everything was designed to offer comfort and a fresh, modern environment. There are 6 cabins on the upper deck and 2 cabins on the main deck, each with panoramic windows, en-suite bathrooms, a hairdryer, individually controlled AC, a TV with hundreds of films to choose from, a safety deposit box, USB charging ports, and laminate flooring. Beds are doubles that can be converted into two singles. There is also a single cabin located on the lower deck with no single supplement, subject to availability. At 33m in length, there is more than enough space for 16 guests and 11 crew members on board. Social areas include an indoor salon and dining area, where international and Ecuadorian cuisine is served, featuring fresh local produce and seafood. The top deck has lounge chairs, a BBQ, a bar, and a hot tub.
Calipso Galapagos dive itineraries are 7 nights long and explore the world-famous Wolf & Darwin for the chance to get up close with whale sharks, hammerheads, and dolphins. Calipso also visits Marchena, previously only dived by a few scientists and filmmakers; it is known for having huge pods of dolphins, schools of Hammerheads, and Galapagos sharks. The large dive deck at the back of the boat has rinse tanks, hot water showers, dedicated camera storage and cleaning areas, and personal towels.

The sea life and the excellent crew.

- The Galapagos really delivers the best in diving - pristine, so many animals, a truly special place. The Calipso was well suited for scuba diving; the hot towels and hot showers on the dive deck hit the spot after each dive. The crew was engaging and fun.

Excellent!
Whale sharks in abundance! Mola mola in abundance! One of the guides was absolutely knowledgeable on many useful subjects. Some crew members went above and beyond including doing my laundry on the last night. Thank you

Amazing experience with a great staff
Very nice boat, well set up with a comfort room with an amazing view. The staff was incredibly helpful and always willing to do that little bit extra to make it the best experience possible. Darwin and Wolf are definitely the highlights of the trip with all the shark action you could ask for.

Perfection on the Ocean
Absolutely stunning boat and amazing crew! There's no better boat in the Galapagos : huge super comfy cabins with panoramic windows, very good and diverse food, and a crew with a very very big heart who takes good care of every one! Our trip was a really exceptional human experience. Thanks again Calipso and her crew. The diving was as expected in the Galapagos : one of the best in the world! We saw so many sharks, rays, sealions and dolphins on our dives that we thought we were dreaming. If I have a chance to come back to the Galapagos, I'd like to go on Calipso again for sure. Everything was so perfect!

Saw all the critters as advertised. Crew were instrumental in all the getting us into position and looking at the right time. Would recommend to all divers at least once, the Galapagos of course and the Calipso specifically.
