A bucket list scuba diving trip.
Great trip. I describe diving in the Galapagos to my friends as the marine version of Yellowstone National Park. When you go to Yellowstone NP, you see elk, bison, grizzly bears, and moose. Diving in the Galapagos you are seeing schools of hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, whale shark, seals, iguanas, rays, mantas, etc.

Truly a perfect liveaboard experience
This was the best liveaboard experience that I could have asked for. The dive guides, Richard and Lenin, were fantastic. They made sure we were safe, comfortable, and had the best experience possible. They handled everyone's specific circumstances gracefully, and still had bandwidth to show us all the incredible marine life while getting videos on every dive. True professionals. Regarding the boat staff, Ruben and the team do everything possible to help you have a great experience. Handling the scuba gear, keeping the boat clean and well-stocked, and of course great food at every meal. The boat itself was in really good shape with ample areas to relax between dives. We had nearly a full boat and never felt crowded at all. And of course, Galápagos diving... can't beat it. Highly recommend!

Overall great experience in Galapagos

Amazing Galapagos Experience
The diving was amazing - so many of my bucket list creatures - whale sharks, hammerheads, silky's, galapagos, marine iguanas, sea lions, too many turtles to mention, and even an orca passing through after a dive. The crew was incredibly knowledgable and caring, and clearly enjoyed working with each other. It was a first class experience!

A must for every diving bucket list.
We saw all the typical animals you except to see when diving in the Galapagos - hammerheads, mantas, and marine iguanas. But we were absolutely thrilled to have had the chance to dive with penguins, several whale sharks, and orcas. We went over Christmas and it was the best Christmas ever! Loved the trip. Would definitely recommend it.

Very good liveaboard despite difficult conditions
We were on a liveaboard in the Galápagos Islands in September 2026 and overall very satisfied with the trip. However, our expectations were correspondingly high, especially because we had looked at many sightings from previous years at the same time of year in advance. Unfortunately, we had to deal with a strong El Niño this year. As a result, the water temperature of about 26 to 29 degrees was well above the usual 18 to 22 degrees for this time of year. The crew therefore adjusted the route at short notice and chose the so-called summer route, which is usually driven from January to May. Since we didn't know the alternative, of course, we can't judge whether the route was actually better. But this gave us the opportunity to snorkel with penguins, among other things, which was definitely a special experience. Unfortunately, the visibility was rather disappointing at most dive sites with only about 15 meters in some cases. Only at Darwin and Wolf we had much better conditions with up to about 30 meters. The expected large schools of hammerhead sharks also failed to materialize due to the conditions. At Darwin we could see about 25 hammerhead sharks, at Wolf about 8. In addition, there were always individual hammerhead sharks, some of which passed very close to us. We also had dolphins, various shark species, turtles, manta rays, eagle rays, golden rays and many other animals. Of course, we had hoped to experience the famous hammerhead shark wall and maybe even see whale sharks or orcas. After all, these were also sightings that had taken place at the same time in previous years. Nevertheless, you always have to keep in mind on such a trip that nature and animal observations cannot be planned. I would like to highlight the crew in a particularly positive way. Our two dive guides Lenin and Walter were really great. Before each dive there was a detailed briefing and we were divided into two groups of eight divers each. Walter is also an incredibly funny guy and has a lot of expertise, not only under water, but also about the Galápagos Islands in general. This enriched the trip even more. The ship, the cabin, the food and the entire organization also get 5 out of 5 points from us. Transfers and procedures were always punctual and professionally organized despite the many additional challenges. Unfortunately, we also had a medical emergency on board and therefore had to go back to Puerto Ayora after Wolf. As a result, the last two days were completely different than originally planned. Fortunately, we had two doctors among the divers with us, who did a really good job together with the crew. Even after the necessary change of plans, the crew tried to make the best possible dives possible for us. The only major point of criticism for me is the price. The safari is not exceptionally expensive compared to other Galápagos providers, but compared to a liveaboard in the Maldives, for example, it is significantly more expensive. If part of these additional costs actually benefit the protection of the underwater world and the Galápagos Islands, that would at least be understandable to me. However, I cannot judge whether this is actually the case. Despite the exceptional conditions caused by El Niño and the unplanned interruption due to the medical emergency, we would definitely choose the provider again. The restrictions were largely beyond the control of the crew. Especially under these conditions, the crew did a very good job from our point of view.

Amazing liveaboard experience
The highlight of the trip was able to see multiple whale sharks during our dives at Darwin and Wolf Island, and that is all due to the experience of our dive master - Water, who spot the whale sharks miles away. We were also able to see other marine life that are unique in Galapagos during that trip. The dive boat is also excellent, clean and maintained well by the friendly crew onboard. I would highly recommend Galapagos Aggressor 3 to anyone who want to have a dive vacation at Galapagos.
