Highlights
The Galapagos Sky was built with divers' needs in mind to offer year-round world-class diving in the Galapagos Islands. Refurbished in April 2025, the Galapagos Sky has offered dive liveaboard trips in the Galapagos since 2001, and its captain and crew are among the most experienced in the region. Onboard, 16 passengers are accommodated in 8 private en-suite guest cabins, each featuring two twin beds or one king-size bed, a wardrobe, a mirrored cabinet, and marine-safe toiletries.
The Galapagos Sky liveaboard is fully air-conditioned and offers ample space for rest and relaxation. The main salon features an audio/video entertainment center and a separate dining area where Ecuadorian and international cuisine is served. Dining service is ‘fine’ plated, and beverages, including beer and wine, and a full bar, are included. The top deck is home to loungers for relaxing in between dives or stargazing in the evening.
Galapagos dive itineraries are 7 nights long and include up to 19 dives, weather permitting. Dives at Wolf and Darwin are the highlight of the trip, and 3 days will be spent here with the chance to see whale sharks, mantas, and schooling hammerhead sharks. There are also land excursions included to experience everything the Galapagos Islands have to offer. The dive deck features warm, fresh-water showers, and hot towels are provided after every dive. Diving from tenders makes getting to and from the dive site hassle-free.

Spectacular crew, guides and dive boat!!
This was our best liveaboard experience. We have loved all of our dive trips, but this trip was spectacular. I was worried about the cold and the diving was definitely strenuous, but we we came prepared and were very well supervised and cared for. The crew goes above and beyond to help with putting on gear prior to diving, preparing amazing snacks and meals and keeping the boat clean and safe! Our dive guides, Solon and Natasha were so enthusiastic and dedicated to making our experience amazing. The meals were extraordinary and I especially liked spring down to dinner instead of the buffet style. We also had a wonderful group of divers in this trip which made for a very special time. One piece of advice, on the information provided before the trip, we read that we needed a GPS device and a sound alert device. We purchased both, but did not need to. The boats provides these.

The summit of diving
The tops. Several 200+ hammerheads dives, a few mola molas, galapagos sharks and more fish than I've ever seen. And the crew was top-notch always lending a helpful hand with a smile. Starlink worked great for me as I had to work as well. 100% recommend

Nothing short of spectacular
The Galapagos Sky was a truly splendid experience, offering unparalleled encounters with an astonishing array of marine life. The waters revealed a mesmerizing underwater world teeming with vibrant coral reefs, playful sea lions, majestic schooling hammerhead sharks, and whale sharks. Each dive brought thrilling sightings of colorful fish schools, graceful manta rays, and even some of the more elusive species not commonly encountered. The pristine beauty and biodiversity of the Galapagos marine reserve made every moment underwater a breathtaking adventure, leaving a lasting impression of the raw, untouched magnificence of this unique archipelago.

Best dive adventure ever!
Our dive experience on the Galapagos Sky was second to none. The crew was absolutely fantastic. Let’s talk about the diving first. All of the dives were great and we saw tons of things we’ve never dove with before, including tons of sharks, including Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks, Galapagos sharks, white tips, black tips, and silver tips. Huge sharks by the hundred. We also dove with marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins, sea lions, fur seals, large tunas, and Mola Mola. It was all unbelievable and the guides knew where to find all of the good stuff. When your dive is done, the crew greets you by helping you out of your dive gear and a fresh warm drink and some treat. Then its a warm shower on the fantail and the crew gets your gear ready for the next dive while you relive your experiences with your fellow passengers. Enrique (Quique) and Max were our guides and they were both outstanding. You could not ask for better more knowledgeable guides. The boat itself was quite comfortable and the internet worked surprisingly good. The AC did break down one day and it got hot but the crew worked to the best of their ability to get it fixed. The food onboard was excellent and there was always a choice of what you wanted. The cooks and the server were all first rate. They also asked us out the outset if we had any dietary restrictions and a couple member of our party did have issues but the crew took excellent care of them. Our family trip was a bucket list trip and it definitely was just that. I would unreservedly recommend the Galapagos Sky to anyone considering a live aboard to the Galapagos and I’m sure we’ll be back.

Perfect dive trip to hammerhead and eagle ray spectacle
The under-water-experience with hammerhead sharks, eagle rays, Iguanas and Mola Molas was certainly what we expected: one of the best dive experiences ever! (despite cool water temperatures, especially at the Mola Mola dive site) What we did not expect, but enjoyed as well, was the great support of our dive guides Max and Solon when our under-water camera broke and the helpful hands of the crew when we struggled to get in and out of our thick wetsuits ... including all the warm towels! Equally perfect: the delicious food and drinks ... and the land excursions to Galapagos turtoises, Darwin finches, sea lions, frigate birds and blue-footed boobies.

Fantastic adventure and a great crew, always there for you!
Obviously the diving and seeing hundreds of hammerheads, the whale shark experiences and most definitely the marine iguanas were my favorite!

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!

Great boat and crew
This was our second trip on Galapagos Sky. The boat is wide, comfortable, and nicely done inside. The dive deck is wide with plenty of space. The crew is very nice and helpful. Excellent food with a different menu every day. The dives in Galapagos are the best in the World.
