Highlights
The Calipso liveaboard schedules year-round diving in the Galapagos National Park. Completely renovated in 2019, everything was designed to offer comfort and a fresh, modern environment. There are 6 cabins on the upper deck and 2 cabins on the main deck, each with panoramic windows, en-suite bathrooms, a hairdryer, individually controlled AC, a TV with hundreds of films to choose from, a safety deposit box, USB charging ports, and laminate flooring. Beds are doubles that can be converted into two singles. There is also a single cabin located on the lower deck with no single supplement, subject to availability. At 33m in length, there is more than enough space for 16 guests and 11 crew members on board. Social areas include an indoor salon and dining area, where international and Ecuadorian cuisine is served, featuring fresh local produce and seafood. The top deck has lounge chairs, a BBQ, a bar, and a hot tub.
Calipso Galapagos dive itineraries are 7 nights long and explore the world-famous Wolf & Darwin for the chance to get up close with whale sharks, hammerheads, and dolphins. Calipso also visits Marchena, previously only dived by a few scientists and filmmakers; it is known for having huge pods of dolphins, schools of Hammerheads, and Galapagos sharks. The large dive deck at the back of the boat has rinse tanks, hot water showers, dedicated camera storage and cleaning areas, and personal towels.

Amazing week with incredible wildlife
Overall our experience with the Calipso was fantastic! Friendly and professional crew, good food, attention to safety, the boat itself, the diversity in the dive itinerary and last but not least the incredible Galapagos marine life. We had 200+ dives coming to the Galapagos, but if you're not used to diving in strong currents and/or cold water (August) like us, the dives can feel (a lot) more challenging and tiring. Make sure you feel ready for this to enjoy this unique place to the fullest.

Amazing Crew & Wildlife
This was my first Liveaboard and did not know what to expect. Everything felt very professional and the entire crew was amazing. Our favorites were the dive guides and our panga driver! We were able to see all the wildlife we expected to including hundreds of Galapagos & Hammerhead sharks, Whale shark, Sunfish and marine iguanas. My 40th birthday celebration was also very special while on the Calipso - we hope to return in the future!
