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.

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!

- 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.

The Ritz Carlton of Liveaboard Dive Boats!
One of the top liveaboards I have been on. The boat was sparkling clean and very modern looking. The cabins were spacious, bed very comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and modern. The crew was fun and friendly. The bar had some nice wines for purchase and made delicious cocktails. The food was amazing. Equadorian cuisine presented and plated beautifully....gourmet dining! The dives were well organized and the crew worked hard to make sure divers got in and out of the pangas safely. Hughly recommend the Galaxy II!

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.

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.

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.
