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

Great experience
We had many activities, entertaining and beautiful. Yes we would recommend to our friends, but it is important to mention that it is not 5 days, because the last one, hopefully is 2 hours and it is only 1 activity, being that on the same route there are 2 more points that in all tours are done together (El Junco and Puerto Chino)
- Recommended for
- The service and attention of the crew. After each activity we were greeted with drinks and snacks. Activities in general.

Relaxing and incredible
This trip exceeded my expectations, our naturalist guide Victor provided a lot of background to the formation of the islands and information about all the various animals we saw. The crew went above and beyond keeping our cabins clean and all passengers well fed. The captain even spent an hour sailing around a dolphin pod and helping us hunt down whales on one of our sailings. There were so many priceless moments on this trip and the 8 day / 7 night itinerary had us alone with no other humans or boats spotted for a day or two in the middle.

Everything
The diving was incredible in the Galápagos. Whale sharks, hammerheads, white tip, black tip, Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, turtles, seahorses, rays and much more! The crew was wonderful and very helpful. They put on a little show for us at one point which was so fun. I don’t want to give the details as I want it to be a surprise for future guests. It was an unforgettable experience and I would totally recommend it.

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