All expectations met and exceeded
The boat is very well and comfortably equipped. You never got bored. The whole crew does a perfect job, always with a smile on their faces. The cabins were spacious and comfortable with daily service. Food (very tasty) was always provided and after the dives there was always hot cocoa and warm towels. The guides were professional and took enough time for all safety-related things. The dives were well organized and planned. The sea didn't let us down either: 25 whale shark encounters in two days on Darwin!! Hammerhead sharks and Galapagos sharks without end, sea lions, manta rays, iguanas, mobulas, large schools of jacks, tunas and barracudas, countless turtles, whitetips, eagle rays, etc. So almost all wishes were fulfilled and the boat is only recommended as such.

The food was excellent and crew was very attentive
Galapagos Master had an excellent surprise travel service - when we arrived a Quito airport, someone was waiting in line for us already, and expedited our check in process. Seamless, and thoughtful! This saved us a tremendous amount of time and avoided any confusion about how to navigate check-in.
