Absolutely incredible

The Galapagos alone are amazing, and aboard the Galapagos Sky, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy every bit of it. The crew were great, the dive guides very experienced, and overall made an incredibly enjoyable week. I appreciated the flexibility of the guides and diving, and their ability to change plans if something interesting came up (i.e. snorkeling with penguins instead of another dive with low visibility). As advertised, these dives are NOT for beginners. The guides treated us as responsible divers and made sure we were equally accountable for our own safety, which is greatly appreciated. Overall an absolutely incredible experience I'll be talking about for a long time!

An Adventure to remember!

My highlight was seeing a whale Shark at Darwin arch; seeing 100s of hammer head sharks on the very first dive at Wolf; the ongoing diversity of the diving expereinces was fantastic! Galapagos is a unique experience both on land and in the ocean diving. I loved my naturalist ship cruise with my family members 10 yrs ago and then returned to complete the diving portion late in November no the Galapagos Sky for Liveaboard Dive experiences. The differences between a naturalist ship and cruise vs. the Diving; on a liveaboard are very different experiences and each unforgettable, unique and amazing. The Dives were wonderful and always, very interesting. This was my most challenging Dive experience, to date, but a must do Dive adventure! I prepared for a couple of months prior to the trip, which made all the difference. I did all 19 dives and this was the most challenging in my dive expereinces world wide. I am very happy to have been able to spend a week immersed in the ocean diving with in diverse enviornments seeing so much ocean life, 100s of hamerheads, a whale shark and an ocean garden full of ocean iquanas eating sea grass and moss, seals, tons of fish, large and small ells, we even saw a large Sea Horse and 100s of silky sharks, black tips, white tips. The other guests were friendly,

Don't look for a better Liveaboard, the Best!

I had no expectations other than the great reviews I read about, I usually dive with a larger dive franchise. The boat was well appointed and luxurious for a live aboard, it was kept spotless at all times. The crew was exceptional, the food was abundant, diverse, and tasty. The chef catered to every dietary restriction the divers could throw his way. Traveled 12/22-12/29 The diving was exceptional, having dove a large part of the world, they guaranteed that the Galapagos diving was a new experience. Sea lions, dolphins, Mantas, marine iguanas and endless hammerheads etc. They travel to Wolf and Darwin islands which are truly the " money shot" dives. The entire crew of 11 is on the dive platform before and after your dives, assisting you in every way possible. Wonderful experience that has set a new bar for our liveaboard experience in the future. Don't hesitate about booking. GG

Trip of a lifetime!

The Galápagos diving is phenomenal and the GalápagosSky itinerary and crew did a fantastic job at elevating my experience. The itinerary was designed to optimize our time spent at iconic dive site and they did a great job at incorporating land and zodiac excursions around the islands. Every single one of the crew members, from the kitchen staff to the Captan, made sure we were well taken care of and that all our needs were met and exceeded. Our guides Max and Enrique were very knowledgeable and excited about every dive and it made diving with them extremely enjoyable. I would highly recommend the Galápagos Sky and hope to someday return.

Trip of a Lifetime!

The volume and variety of sea life- giant manta rays, penguins, sea lions, hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, mola mola, orcas, sea turtles, marine iguanas, red lipped batfish, and huge schools of a variety of fish. Both dive masters on our boat were very helpful, knowledgeable, patient and safety conscious. Their goal was for us to see as much as possible. All meals and snacks were superb. All meals had a great variety of food, and the chef was more than happy to prepare meals for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions. Ship was very comfortable and immaculate.

Hee Haw. Return to Galapagos Dive Trip was Amazing.

We completed 15 of the 21 dives offered and we saw huge numbers of fish. It was like being dropped into a massive aquarium. At Wolf dive site there were large numbers of turtles, sharks, hammerheads, sea lions, and more. At Darwin we had 3 different Whale Sharks interact with us. Overall, some of the best large animal sightings of any dive trip we have been on. This dive boat is TOP NOTCH, FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY.

Best liveaboard trip I've ever done

I can honestly say this was far and away the best liveaboard trip I've ever done. Every aspect of the the trip was superb. The boar was comfortable, cabins small but more than adequate, plenty of hot water for showers. Evening turn down service and room tidied several times a day (I almost ofund it embarrassing to have thrown my clothes on my bed before going for a dive and returning to find them all neatly folded on the bed) Crew were amazing, always helpful, especially on the dive deck (I've never had service like it) Food excellent, dietary needs catered to, soft drinks, beer and wine available. The diving was amazing but it is difficult diving - cold water, negative entries and some strong currents, particularly at Darwin's arch. Saw whale sharks of 4/7 dives at Darwin's Arch. Schools and schools of hammerheads. Saw a Molamola too which was pretty exciting. The fish life in general was prolific (good to see). A couple of land visits just finished off the trip nicely. One of the things I loved were that the crew were so passionate about the wildlife... particularly Fabricio (dive guide / ecologist / conservationist / font ofknowledge) who is a living legend and gave talks some evenings about the Galapagos geology / birds / flora and fauna / fish - he seemed to be able to answer any question we asked. The trip was probably the most expensive one I've done - but very much worth it. Only minor niggle - I had my own gear but a few people hired the gear on board - one because the airline lost hers - and several because they were travelling after the trip and didn't want to lug dive gear around tihem. There were a few issues with bcds and wetsuits not available in the right size. I'm travelling for 2 weeks after my trip but am glad I made the effort to take my gear which I'm used to, even if it does mean lugging around a huge dive bag!! cheers

Amazing experience

Our experience with Galapagos sky was amazing (even though we have very high standards!). The crew was perfect, always at the right place at the right time to help - pulling your wetsuit to get it off, giving you a hot chocolate as soon as you're back on board, pushing you in the hot shower when you're freezing cold, giving you a hot towel... All the organisation and the catering were perfectly orchestrated all along the way. Land excursions were nice additions to the diving itinerary. The cabin in the lower deck were functional and spacious enough without being too luxurious. In a week we saw a pregnant whale shark, loads of schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, white tips, marble rays, marine iguanas, incredible schools of big eye jacks.... everything we were looking for was there! One thing we noticed is that almost half the divers had already been diving with the same boat and were coming back for more... it says it all. Thanks teams!!!

The best thing I've ever done

Whilst the price tag is steep, I came away feeling as though my week diving in the Galapagos provided excellent value for money. Varied diving environments and pelagics (whale sharks, hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, silkies, mantas, mola mola etc etc) in large numbers. I was somewhat apprehensive about the diving conditions in the Galapagos before my liveaboard but safety is paramount in dives from the Galapagos Sky. Solon and Christian knowledgeable guides who helped to provide excellent wildlife encounters. Quality of service on the boat high (for example when kitting up before dives etc).

The Galapagos Islands lives up to it's reputation for pristine beauty and is teeming with life!!

The Islands are teeming with life, more than I've seen anywhere else in the world. After about the fiftieth turtle sighting in the first 5 dives I stopped taking pics and just tried to enjoy the experience for future memories. The hammerheads were as the pictures in the brochures and they just kept on coming. There were many onboard that have tried to see whale sharks at other world hotspots for whale sharks, but up to this trip were unsuccessful. Although at the end of the sighting season our two groups actually saw whale sharks five out of seven dives at Darwin Island. Other than these examples the Island were just bursting with life of other kinds, Sea Lions, Giant Green Morrey Eels, Boobies, Penguins, Iguanas, Dolphins, other species of Galapagos resident sharks all stood up to be counted. Mola molas, and just millions of fish, Jacks, Rays all just seemed to be there to be seen and to be check off on your ultimate dive trip checklist, the checklist was almost complete except for the great Manta Ray. The Islands were "all that!" The Galapagos Sky is a very nice old girl who is very nicely maintained and well equipped for it's role as an ambassador of the region, however she is a little tired, having made uncountable numbers of open ocean crossings to reach the farrest reaches of the island chain in often extreme weather conditions. The crew is very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and never did any of the crew ever fall short on effort to try to please the passengers. This was a very good crew however the crew was much larger with ten crew members than other motor yachts of similar size that I have been on recently. The only setback was the cost of the trip was considerably more than any other popular liveaboard destination out there and was more than double the cost of either of my two other 2018 dive destinations. Everything is remote so I guess you can justify the high cost to provide a quality product. With relatively little competition out there the Sky cost more than all other Galapagos destination providers, but after all is said and done I have had very little dislike about this trip other than the cost so I guess I will just have to dig just a little deeper into my pockets if I would ever want to return and I probally would like to return one day.

The crew were fantastic and really looked after you above and below the water. Their safety was excellent, which was reassuring considering how challenging the diving was. We saw loads of hammerheads, about six whale-sharks, an enormous tiger shark (up close and personal!), sea lions, dolphins.....the list goes on. The wildlife was awesome, but the diving is extremely challenging at times with absolutely incredible currents-onlyfor experienced, confident divers.

This is the very last item of my bucket list and it's worth the wait. It's my best diving experience ever. Do not miss any dive because every dive is unique. I used to say my best safety stop was Fiji, now it's Galapagos especially the last dive that we were in the tunnel of thousands fish. I think I said the best so many times but it truly is. I will never forget this trip. This would not happen if we did not have the very knowledgeable guides, the great crew service and lovely fellow divers.

The crew was just amazing

Nature provided warmer than usual waters, not bery strong currents, so visibility was affected and some of the pelagics and animals were hard to see. Still it was amazing and probably my best trip so far, diving with hammer head sharks, lots of tortules, sea lions and fish. The dive with the marine iguanas is so unique that it blew my mind. And all with the best service ever, with people that were always one step ahead and made our experience very enjoyable.
