Highlights
The Galapagos Sky yacht was built with divers' needs in mind to offer year-round world-class diving in the Galapagos Islands. The luxury boat has been offering 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.

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

Trip of a lifetime
What an experience. From the moment we landed to the moment we left the crew of The Galápagos Sky were warm, welcoming, energetic and passionate about their mission - to give us the best experience. With only 16 divers, this is a relatively small ship but everything had been considered to make this a trip of a lifetime. The Galápagos diving experience is unique but can be challenging, however the dive guides were always on hand to ensure each dive was a success. If you haven’t been - go - and go in the Galápagos Sky, you won’t regret it!

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).

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.

A truely fabulous dive experience!
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.

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.

Once in a lifetime
The dive sites were great, it was a good combination of land excursions as well as some of the bext overall diving around. The dive leaders were extremely competent and knowledgeable. The staff was some of the friendliest I've ever encountered on a ship. It was well maintained, extremely clean, and overall simply amazing.
