Le Nortada est un bateau de croisière de 26 m qui propose une expérience différente de la plongée aux Galapagos. Avec seulement 4 cabines à bord pour un maximum de 12 passagers, une croisière à bord du Nortada est une expérience plus personalisée. Chaque cabine climatisée possède sa salle de bain particulière et des armoires avec cadenas pour les objets personnels. Les aires de relaxation comprennent un espace lounge climatisé, un espace restaurant avec installation multimédia, un salon en plein air, et un pont extérieur au soleil.

La plongée se fait en petits groupes à partir des 2 bateaux gonflabes annexes de 3 m de long qui emmènent les plongeurs directement au cœur de l’action et sur les meilleurs sites. L’itinéraire du Nortada permet de faire au moins 18 plongées dans la semaine, y compris sur les sites les plus célèbres de Wolf et Darwin, et sur les 3 plus beaux sites de la région nord-ouest de l’archipel des Galapagos. On peut s’attendre à rencontrer des cormorants aptères, des manchots des Galapagos, des iguanes marins et d’autres espèces endémiques, ainsi que des raies mantas, le fameux Mola-Mola, et différentes espèces de baleines. Le Nitrox, le rechargement des recycleurs et la plongée technique sont disponibles moyennant un coût supplémentaire. Pour une sécurité optimale, chaque plongeur se verra muni d’une radio marine Nautilus Lifeline bidirectionnelle VHF/DSC avec GPS, d’un avertisseur sonore et d’une bouée de surface.

Very good way to dive the Galapagos!

Pros: - Dive sites are absolutely amazing - The chef was fantastic, all the food was awesome, plus snack and beverage service. - We were a group of 7, and bc of the roomy sun deck the boat didn’t feel crowded at all. - Crew was so welcoming and helpful, great tenders, took our minds off of the little things and ran the boat smoothly. - Dive guide was attentive and passionate, had a lot of interesting information before, during, and after the dive. Cons: - Bring your own equipment. My rental mask fogged constantly despite burning/scrubbing, at one point my BCD had a leak and would not inflate during a dive, and the torch I was given died within minutes of use underwater. - Cabins smell musty and like toilet cleaner. AC control is all over the place so sometimes it’s very hot, others it’s super cold. Overall 4/5, worth the money and the small inconveniences to be able to dive at one of the coolest places in the world and see hammerhead sharks, rays, marine iguanas, sea lions, batfish, mola molas, etc.

I cannot imagine another dive experience coming close to this Galapagos experience!

Schools of hammerheads, swimming with dolphins, playing with sea lions, seeing sunfish, increasing skills as dive conditions were sometimes rough, night diving In caves entered thru lava tunnels

Recommandé pour
The amazing dives, the remoteness of our dive sites (no one else around), the dive masters’ knowledge of the diving conditions and the marine life.

Good trip, not great

Good dives, especially the Western side. Unfortunately Darwin and Wolf were very empty at the start of April and we saw only a few sharks. We were very disappointed. At the West side of Isabela and at Fernandina we found Mola Mola, marine iguanas and even a penguin which was great. At the East side of Isabela we found an oceanic manta, mobula rays and golden rays, which was also a really good dive. Unfortunately the crew was very nice, but did not know very much about the dive gear. The guides were ok and knew what they were doing, but the zodiac guys did not know how to fix last minute equipment questions, they were not experienced. Also, a few of the tanks malfunctioned causing two of us to have to use the dive guides spare reg. The cook was very kind, food was simple but good. All in all, this was the cheapest boat option for us and I think if we would have done the more expensive boats, it would have been a but more comfortable. If you know what you are doing and you have your own gear, and do not need the comfort of a luxury liveaboard, this is a good boat. They go to the same dive sites as the others, so the diving will be the same anyway.

Excellent diving, slightly chaotic organization

As far as the diving is concerned, I doubt there is a place left in the world that can compare. After the 3rd to 4th dive you even stop getting excited about hammerhead sharks because there's a bunch of them around every time. Animals that would be highlight sightings on a diving trip anywhere else are just around in the Galapagos and make the experience unforgettable. The boat is not exceptionally large, but as they only take 8 guests it felt much more spacious and comfortable than some of the much bigger liveaboards with 20 guests that I've been on. The crew is extremly friendly and helpful, keen to assist with any issues and it was stunning how the cook managed to prepare excellent, very varied and nutritious meals for every day of the week. The dive guides were very knowledgeable and generally safety-oriented during the dives, so that part was great, too. Unfortunately, there have been drawbacks. Like several other passengers, we indicated in the booking forms that we'd like to dive on Nitrox. Asking about it on departure night I was first told that the check dive would be on air for everybody - fair enough. When I saw the crew filling the thanks with air for the following days I asked again, was shrugged off several times to be eventually told that the Nitrox compressor wasn't working so it would be air for the whole trip. This is a serious concern not only for the dive plans (we had to ascend early a couple of times because the NDL was getting close), but also for the safety, considering we were doing four dives a day in a very remote area. Also, in some instances last-minute changes about the dive plans were not communicated properly and came out "by accident", although this improved after the passengers hat a talk with the staff. Finally, make sure to bring all of your own dive gear. Most rental items that were handed out had some kind of issue, had to be changed several times, suits didn't fit properly etc. I totally understand that this is Ecuador and that's how things tend to be in that part of the world. But considering how the price tag for the trip is not Ecuadorian at all (that goes for all operators, not just Nortada) there's certainly room for improvement as far as organization is concerned.

Meine Tauch-Wunschliste wurde zu 100% erfüllt!

Die Safari mit der Nortada hat alle meine Erwartungen erfüllt. Mit nur 8 Gästen und einer extrem hilfsbereiten Crew kommt richtig familiäre Atmosphäre auf. Die Tauchspots waren atemberaubend und man sieht auf dieser Tour wirklich alle Highlights von Galapagos: Hammerhaischulen, Seelöwen, Iguanas unter Wasser, Mola Mola, Seepferdchen und die großen Oceanic Mantas. Als Sahnehäubchen gab es noch einen Walhai! Schade, dass die Woche so schnell vorbei ging.

Spectacular Trip

My first ever time on a liveaboard and a truly spectacular one. The boat may lack some of the luxuries that are available on some of the more expensive trips but what it does boast is small guest numbers which makes for a really personal experience and better diving, which (if you are like me) is a far higher priority anyway. All the guides and crew were fantastic; friendly, attentive and welcoming- nothing was too much trouble. The diving I cannot put into words... Whalesharks, Hammerheads, Penguins, Iguanas... I was lucky enough to see them all. There were some small logistical problems, such as not initially having the correctly sized rental equipment but I cannot fault them for their quick efforts to get this rectified and it absolutely wasn't a significant enough problem to tarnish what really was a special trip. Thank you Nortada, for a fantastic week
