Great guides, great crews, great boat, nothing to complain. Guides still bring us to see every highlight, school of hammerheads, mola mola, whale sharks, even during el-nino, they still managed to find them.

Amazing experience
We had a great time with Galaxy Diver II! We were truly amazed by everything. They think of all the small things. Like giving us a warm towel after a dive. And having everyone, including the boat captain, help when getting ready to go go for a dive.

Luxury boat, all the main sites & excellent crew
Amazing boat - absolute luxury in all ways (which you’d expect for the price!!). Boat crew - food and inside crew, boat boys, organisation & hospitality is all exceptional. Cabins are spacious and clean. The attention to detail with small touches, menu, food and service is brilliant. In some ways, the diving etc seems to be second priority. However, you go to all the main sites, get lots of dives at the key places, daily briefs, excellent systems with timings, gear, getting to dive sites etc. 8 divers to each guide. 18 dives in total. 6 dives each (roughly) at both Wolf and Darwin. Experienced guides - but they do expect you to be very competent and confident in conditions and during dives. They absolutely do all they can to try and find everything - although they can’t obviously control the water temps and conditions! We were really lucky and saw all the big stuff and had some utterly incredible dives, despite it being an El Niño year. There is so much food - weirdly, I actually found it was often far too much for me (I struggled to eat a 5 course lunch then dive in the afternoon!). There is always a choice for meals and they are mostly served to you in a pre-set portion size so when it was too much, I felt awful but had to turn away some courses or not eat everything off every plate! The captain was brilliant and was often also down on dive deck helping at gear up / after dives! Be aware that in some seasons / conditions, the sea can be rough and the boat isn’t the best shape or design for crossing rough seas - its rocks a lot and some nights were bumpy. Be prepared with sea sickness meds if you might need it. Furniture in the cabins isn’t all secured to the floor so if it’s really rough, beds / bedside tables can even slide across the rooms, which wasn’t ideal! The briefs and information were always interesting too. The extra opportunities, like getting to watch from the bridge when we crossed the equator, short rib ride to see some of the wildlife along sea cliffs and coast and also the land trip on the final day to see the giant tortoises! NB: you do the final dive off the trip early morning of the last full day - done and out the water by 8.30am. You disembark at 8am the next day so you are fine to book flights to leave the day of disembarkation. You’re at the airport by 9am latest so aim for 11am ish flights. Staying on Santa Cruz Island is a bit of a trip (bus, ferry & taxi) to closest town / hotel! I’d recommend if you’re going to do that, stay at least 2 nights as it’s a bit of a trip - but well worth the visit if you do!

The Best of the Galápagos on the Galaxy Diver II!
Recently renovated and easily the most beautiful liveaboard in the Galápagos, the Galaxy Diver II offers spacious, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a great camera setup. In the morning or after our dives, the cozy living room is perfect for watching TV or chatting, alongside a highly inviting coffee station. We felt privileged to dive Darwin and Wolf; despite warmer El Niño waters, we still experienced the absolute best of the Galápagos underwater. Our fantastic guides, Carlos and George, work seamlessly together, and the entire crew was incredibly warm—with the post-dive warm towels and snacks being a major highlight!
- Recommended for
- The diving quality (wolf and Darwin). The diving installation and service (hot towel, space, help for cleaning). The clean spaces/room and polite/warm staff.

An amazing week on board the Galaxy Diver 2 in the Galapogas.
I cannot speak highly enough of how good this trip was. The Diving was unbelievable and exceeded any expectattions I had pre-trip (and believe me they were high!). Jorge and Paolo were excellent Dive Guides and the staff on the Galaxy Diver could not do enough to make sure our experience was first rate. The Galaxy Diver 2 itself is like a floating 5 Star Hotel and the food throught the trip was excellent with high quality and variety throughout the trip. If and when I return to dive in the Galapogas, this is the Liveaboard I would choose.

Best week ever with amazing dives!!
Diving on the Galaxy Diver 2 was amazing. The boat was freshly painted and everything was well looked after and taken care of. The briefing area was very comfortable to hang out in and the rooms were well equipped and also comfortable. The crew were at the top of their game, everyone was more than happy to help us suit up and rip us out of our wet suits. And nothing beats the hot showers AND hot towels!! The prep area was well organized and always kept super clean. Food was incredible, showing off tons of local ecuadorian cuisine. They even did a birthday cake for myself and another person celebrating. Our dive guides, Juan and William, were also incredible. I’ve never dove with such a large group before (8 people) but they gave super thorough and informative briefings and also took great care of us out in the water. They were both super knowledgeable and had eagle eyes to spot all the things including Mola Mola and Galapagos sharks! They were also super honest about what to expect with the conditions which I appreciated. It was maybe a bit much to dive 3 times in the morning and once in the afternoon but I guess we just really earned that 8pm bedtime. I rented almost a full kit of dive gear and it was all in excellent condition and well maintained. With El Niño, I didn’t need the 7mm wetsuits with the unseasonably warm water (27 at Darwin in June!) but it was still appreciated. I was very sad to leave my boat bubble after the week.
