Great experience
We had a great experience on the Galaxy Diver II. The crew is great. Very friendly, professional, well attuned to each other and do everything we can to make the trip as good as possible. The food was amazing. More than enough, after every dive fresh fruit and a local snack and breakfast/lunch/dinner really delicious and varied. We even got a ceviche workshop from the chef. The dives were great and the guides very good. The rooms were cleaned every day and the boat always looked neat.

Definitely recommend
All crew were safe, professional and friendly. Systems and processes are smooth to allow for safe and comfortable diving in a place with an abundance of animal life. Great food and well managed expectations (my high hopes were well met).

A trip defined by extraordinary care, unforgettable diving, and a level of service that made every moment feel exceptional.
Exceptional from the moment we arrived in Ecuador. A Galaxy II representative met us at the Quito airport and personally guided us through every step of the document process and check‑in. This wasn’t something we expected, but it immediately set the tone for the level of care and professionalism that defines this operation. When we landed in Baltra, the Galaxy II staff were already waiting, greeting us warmly and handling all luggage and transfers with ease. Stepping onto the Galaxy II itself felt like entering a different world — spacious, beautifully maintained, spotless, and staffed by an incredibly friendly team who made it clear that their priority was for us to relax and feel at home. The safety briefing was thorough and reassuring, and the dive briefings throughout the week were clear, detailed, and delivered by dive masters who truly know the Galapagos. The diving, of course, is spectacular — everything you could hope to see in the Galapagos and more — but what made the trip extraordinary was the crew and the thoughtful amenities. Before every dive, someone was waiting with a tray of water glasses to keep us hydrated. The crew helped with every step of gearing up, getting into the pangas, even putting on our fins. After each dive, they were right there again, assisting us back onboard, rinsing and hanging wetsuits, and offering hot showers on the dive deck followed by warm towels from a heated cabinet, plus juice, water, and snacks. Staterooms were impressively large with excellent storage, linens refreshed frequently, and towels replaced every other day — or immediately if left on the floor. The common lounge was spacious and comfortable, and the two coffee machines were a crowd favorite, producing everything from espresso to cappuccino at the touch of a button. Meals were consistently excellent, with multiple options at dinner and a crew that genuinely wanted to accommodate every preference. If none of the choices suited you, they simply asked, ‘What can we make for you?’ The food was not only delicious but plated with real attention to presentation. You can dive the Galapagos with many operators and see the same wildlife, but the experience aboard the Galaxy II is on another level entirely. The professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail from the entire crew made this trip unforgettable. It’s hard to imagine a better way to experience the Galapagos.

Very fine experience with this top class crew and dive experts
Carlos and Javier were top class dive masters who expertly guided the guests through 19 exciting and always very safe dives on this week trip. They made the entire experience extremely enjoyable, and were terrific at sharing their knowledge which added considerably to each day. But the dive masters alone would not have been able to deliver such a brilliant but intense week without the first class crew aboard. Incredible team work and understanding of exactly what was required to make the week as good as it possibly could be for all guests aboard. This is hard to achieve and we were very grateful to everyone. The food was superb. Healthy, plentiful and lots of options. The boat was spacious and in good condition making this I think one of the finest experiences one could hope for as a privileged visitor to the magical world of the Galapagos.

Paradise above and below water
I don’t have words to describe my visit trip on the liveaboard galaxy 2 in the Galapagos. The boat was like a luxury hotel on water! The food, insanely good! Blows my mind how they can prepare such delicious, beautifully presented meals on board, and everything so fresh even after days at sea! Every day I woke up/went to sleep I couldn’t believe I was there, experiencing the best dives of my life, on this luxury boat with the most knowledgeable, friendly crew and guides. I’d do it all again in a heart beat! Huge shout outs to all the crew, but especially William who has guided these waters for 25 years! His love for the area is contagious, as if his singing and dancing to music whilst getting our gear on ready to dive. Carlos- amazingly knowledgable and friendly guide, both wanting us to have the best experience we could! And of course Jimmy- the barman/ head waiter/ jack of all trades! Instantly remembers everyone’s names and treats us like family. No job is too big for this man!

Most amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience!
I had a fantastic time on Galaxy Diver II. The absolute highlight for me (aside from the actual diving in Galapagos and all the animals we saw) are the dive guides and crew members. The dive guides Jorge and Paulo are really experts at what they do, they kept us safe under water and made sure we have the best experience possible. The crew on board were so so amazing - the entire operation is planned and organized so well, every person knows when and where they need to be and what they need to do. To the tiniest detail like unzipping our wetsuits when we get back on the boat, to checking our gear and keeping our rooms and common spaces clean. They are all so professional and incredibly sweet, always smiling and willing to help. Food was amazing and they accommodated various dietary restrictions. Hot towels and snacks after the dives were great. But my absolute favorite part was the pirate dance party the crew had for us when we passed the equator line!!

The Galaxy Diver II exceeded all my expectations. From the seamless airport pickup to the smooth return, the entire trip was flawlessly organized, making travel stress-free. The boat is even more impressive in person, offering spacious rooms and luxurious amenities. The crew was incredibly attentive and always upbeat, and the food was outstanding. The dive trips were well run, with a strong focus on detail and safety, allowing me to see everything I hoped for—and more. I highly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an unforgettable Galápagos diving experience.
