The perfect five days
We loved our five days on board. The amount of activities was just perfect and always getting greeted with drinks and snacks when coming back to the boat was something that probably spoiled us forever. The crew was outstanding and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Great time
Had a great week on the Galaxy Orion. The itinerary was packed and we saw so much wildlife in our week. Loved going snorkelling everyday and getting to swim with white tip reef sharks, turtles, sealions and many fish

It's a comparatively good value in the Galapagos
We loved the choices in where we went and that the captain changed our timing of the a crossing from one island to another so that we could enjoy the whales and the super-pod of dolphins. All Galapagos trips are expensive - it is the nature of "the nature" there. This cruise fit the bill for the ability to see many islands in-depth.

- The itinerary. The boat was well-organized and comfortable. The crew was helpful.

Absoluetly beautiful! Couldnt have gone any better!
Absolutely amazing experience! I loved how the day was kept busy with many activities throughout the day at so many different places. Truly one of the most amazing cruises. The crew was amazing and the food was spectacular. The chefs made everything to perfection with many buffets and desserts after lunch and dinner was definitely a win! Such an amazing experience and definitely worth the money. Wouldn't have wanted to visit the Galapagos any other way! Thank you!

The best way to see these islands - with a great guide, a well equipped boat, unbelievable wildlife and wild islands.
Jorge was so knowledgeable and experienced. It was wonderful to have him as a guide. The rest of the crew worked so hard to make sure we were looked after. The meals were first class and reflective of local dishes. Each island was unique with its own environment and wildlife. The daily visits were full-on but worth it not to waste a moment. The trip was full of magic moments, like going back to a time before man overpopulated our planet. What a privilege to go there!

Amazing liveaboard
We saw whale sharks, dived with sea lions and watched iguanas feeding. Dolphins accompanied us on the diving trips. It was an insanely great experience and the best time to visit in June.
