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.

Amazing week
The whole agenda felt like it was matched for the guests. Amendments due to crazy weather and alternative locations were no trouble and the added bonus of swimming with orcas that the crew went out of their way to accommodate was absolutely the highlight of our week. We came as a multi generational group of 6 and all agreed it was the best weeks holiday we had.

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.

Great crew, boat, and trip. Somewhat underwhelming sea life
Enjoyed the journey with this fun crew and a bunch of very competent divers from all over the world. Didn’t see nearly as many big critters and life as I had thought we would, but the experience was positive and enjoyable.

Great dives
The guides I had are great. One is really knowledge about the islands. The other took plenty of photos of the animals and everyone and made a movie for us at the end. The food is amazing for a liveaboard. Rooms are spacious and bright. Water is frigid. They will tell you average water temperature is 23 oC in December. That is the warmest water we encountered. Half the dives had a temperature between 16 and 19. Bring some shorties in addition to the 7mm

Amazing Crew & Wildlife
This was my first Liveaboard and did not know what to expect. Everything felt very professional and the entire crew was amazing. Our favorites were the dive guides and our panga driver! We were able to see all the wildlife we expected to including hundreds of Galapagos & Hammerhead sharks, Whale shark, Sunfish and marine iguanas. My 40th birthday celebration was also very special while on the Calipso - we hope to return in the future!

Incredible Adventure with a Fantastic Crew
Outstanding attention to detail and fantastic service. Great meals, cleanliness. When launching or bringing in divers the entire crew - cooks to mechanics to dive masters - leap to assist divers off w their gear and suits. The cabins are very nice, thoughtful and modern; AC works great. Only input would be that it might be time to replace older rental suits and BC’s.
