Lifetime of memories and bonds!
Absolutely loved Galaxy Orion. My fellow passengers and the crew formed such a tight knit group! We were all very sad at farewell. I miss my time on the boat - Alex, the ever smiling and helpful cruise director, Juanito the legend bartender ever who watched our needs like a hawk, Daniel the coolest Captain ever. I was afraid of water but they helped me. They give you all the kit and hot water and sea sickness pills you need. There's WiFi to stay in touch. And Galapagos is of course very very beautiful.

Trip of a life time made special by great weather & the amazing crew of Galaxy Orion
In the Itinerary B for 8 days and 7 nights, we saw almost everything Galapagos has to offer on land, sky & in the seas. Too much wildlife to recount here! Amazing weather in early April, with smooth cruising and zero rains. Boat offers a perfect balance of price, facilities & quality of service. Just something to bear in mind is that the cheaper or more expensive boats still offer exactly the same activities for a trip, as these are pre-approved by the Galapagos Park authorities - funny to see Zuck's superyachts Launchpad & Wingman follow us that week at every stop & activity we did!

- Perfect balance of activities & downtime. Very welcoming & accommodating staff & guide. Right quality & price ratio for Galapagos.

The perfect five days
We loved our five days on board. The amount of activities was just perfect and always getting greeted with drinks and snacks when coming back to the boat was something that probably spoiled us forever. The crew was outstanding and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Everything
The diving was incredible in the Galápagos. Whale sharks, hammerheads, white tip, black tip, Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, turtles, seahorses, rays and much more! The crew was wonderful and very helpful. They put on a little show for us at one point which was so fun. I don’t want to give the details as I want it to be a surprise for future guests. It was an unforgettable experience and I would totally recommend it.

Absoluetly beautiful! Couldnt have gone any better!
Absolutely amazing experience! I loved how the day was kept busy with many activities throughout the day at so many different places. Truly one of the most amazing cruises. The crew was amazing and the food was spectacular. The chefs made everything to perfection with many buffets and desserts after lunch and dinner was definitely a win! Such an amazing experience and definitely worth the money. Wouldn't have wanted to visit the Galapagos any other way! Thank you!

An amazing experience
This was one of the best tours I have done in my life. The whole package was complete and the highlight was swimming and snorkelling with the turtles, although all the animals were fabulous.
