If you are thinking Galapagos, Galaxy Diver II is my recommendation.
The Galaxy Diver II crew and guides made diving in the Galapagos a dream come true for me. Overall a wonderful experience.

There were choices for every meal, tasty and beautifully presented.. The boat was spacious ne very comfortable. Plenty of room on the dive deck for all the divers. The rooms were comfortable and attractive..

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.

Best vacation of my life.
An absolutely incredible experience. I took a chance due to few reviews and not being real sure about the official website, and am very glad I did! An absolutely amazing experience. We saw the whale shark, mola mola, red lipped bat fish, countless hammerheads, tons of spotted eagle rays, and more. Paolo and William were awesome guides finding pretty much everything you could ask for. They both took plenty of great photos as well and provided them for free. The food was outstanding. A lot of Ecuadorian food and a dessert with every meal. I was never hungry. The boat… wow. Is this how millionaires live? A beautiful luxury yacht and the crew cleaned cabin and made our beds in between every dive if we slept in them! A nice hot tub on the top deck. Everything was near spotless. The crew helped us doing literally every task we needed help with. Free very fast wifi from Starlink. I clocked over 60mbps in the middle of the ocean. You won’t regret booking it.

Absolute trip of a lifetime! The Galapagos surpasses all of your expectations!
Spent my birthday week diving with Galaxy Diver 2 and everything was beyond expectations! The food was fantastic and plentiful. No one was ever hungry and there was plenty at meal time for 2nds or 3rds. The guides, Paulo and George were beyond accommodating and were extremely knowledgeable and extremely fun and the rest of the staff were just as hospitable. All dives felt extremely safe and as mesmerizing as you could imagine. 10/10 would and will dive with this boat again.

Galaxy Diver 2, April 2025
We traveled on the Galaxy Diver 2 in April 2025. The boat is excellent with very spacious cabins and bathrooms, good setup on the dive deck, high quality food, and plenty of space for lounging including a Jacuzzi. Dive guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Equipment is in good condition. Diving conditions were mixed in April, with low visibility and heavy surge at many of the dive sites, but we still had the opportunity to see hammerheads, dolphins, turtles, eagle rays, and sea lions. Overall I would recommend this boat.

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.
