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.

Recommended for
The extraordinary crew and service. The comfort and quality of the Galaxy II itself. The seamless, well‑supported diving experience.
