A special liveaboard
An exceptional liveaboard! I was very lucky (of course it also depends on nature) and saw everything you could wish for. The guides are very experienced, safety is important. The guides know the dive spots and also the best times to see the good stuff. They are also very enthusiastic about diving at these spots (especially Darwin and Wolf). The crew is very helpful and assists with putting on and taking off the equipment. Hot chocolate and snacks are served during intermediate breaks. You feel very well taken care of. The briefing is detailed and helpful.

Super great dives, seen everything you could wish for. Very knowledgeable and nice guides. Very helpful and attentive crew, especially when you come back tired from the dive.

The food was excellent and crew was very attentive
Galapagos Master had an excellent surprise travel service - when we arrived a Quito airport, someone was waiting in line for us already, and expedited our check in process. Seamless, and thoughtful! This saved us a tremendous amount of time and avoided any confusion about how to navigate check-in.

Amazing sightings!
I loved to see all these animals underwater: hammerheads, whale sharks, iguanas, dolphins, mantas, mobulas, sting rays, eagle rays, dolphins, redlipped batfish, silkies, Galapagos sharks, turtles,... So many! And the landtour was great too :) The crew was very friendly as well. For big marine animals it is THE place. I like how the national park protects the environment.
