ONE IN A LIFETIME Experience
These 8 days around the islands have been our best experience so far, pure magic. The itinerary is well designed to see very different landscape and wildlife, off track of the main human activities. For a couple days in Isabela/Fernandina we didn't spot a single other human being. The boat was very nice, tidy and clean. Sometimes the night was difficult to sleep because of the choppy sea, especially because the schedule dictated some hard navigation right after dinner. Crew and guide was fantastic, they took care of every single moment with expertise and care. A very tight schedule with 14 guests was always met on time. Food was also very good. Everyday buffet breakfast, main meals were double course plus dessert, and a tasty snack was always awaiting us on board after every single activity. The captain was also very flexibile to adjust boat movements in case of need. Maybe the vegetarian selection could be improved, as it lacked a bit of proteins and the alternatives for them were not thought with same attention.

Best week of our life
We had a really amazing week aboard the Galaxy. The diving was the best of our life, it is really fantastic to see a sea so full of life. We so thousands of hammerheads, humpback whales, orcas, mola mola, Marine iguana and many other. But not only the diving is good, the crew is really friendly and you can feel that there are good vibes in the boat.

The boat crew and guide made our experience that much more amazing
The fact that we had such fast paced itinerary to see as much as possible was the best thing of all. All the activities were fun and interesting, with the exception of paddle boarding which we were promised and the boat didn’t have them
