A trip defined by extraordinary care, unforgettable diving, and a level of service that made every moment feel exceptional.
Exceptional from the moment we arrived in Ecuador. A Galaxy II representative met us at the Quito airport and personally guided us through every step of the document process and check‑in. This wasn’t something we expected, but it immediately set the tone for the level of care and professionalism that defines this operation. When we landed in Baltra, the Galaxy II staff were already waiting, greeting us warmly and handling all luggage and transfers with ease. Stepping onto the Galaxy II itself felt like entering a different world — spacious, beautifully maintained, spotless, and staffed by an incredibly friendly team who made it clear that their priority was for us to relax and feel at home. The safety briefing was thorough and reassuring, and the dive briefings throughout the week were clear, detailed, and delivered by dive masters who truly know the Galapagos. The diving, of course, is spectacular — everything you could hope to see in the Galapagos and more — but what made the trip extraordinary was the crew and the thoughtful amenities. Before every dive, someone was waiting with a tray of water glasses to keep us hydrated. The crew helped with every step of gearing up, getting into the pangas, even putting on our fins. After each dive, they were right there again, assisting us back onboard, rinsing and hanging wetsuits, and offering hot showers on the dive deck followed by warm towels from a heated cabinet, plus juice, water, and snacks. Staterooms were impressively large with excellent storage, linens refreshed frequently, and towels replaced every other day — or immediately if left on the floor. The common lounge was spacious and comfortable, and the two coffee machines were a crowd favorite, producing everything from espresso to cappuccino at the touch of a button. Meals were consistently excellent, with multiple options at dinner and a crew that genuinely wanted to accommodate every preference. If none of the choices suited you, they simply asked, ‘What can we make for you?’ The food was not only delicious but plated with real attention to presentation. You can dive the Galapagos with many operators and see the same wildlife, but the experience aboard the Galaxy II is on another level entirely. The professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail from the entire crew made this trip unforgettable. It’s hard to imagine a better way to experience the Galapagos.

Best Liveaboard Ever
High standard comfortable boat, with big rooms and own bathroom.Crew went beyond to take care of us. Never experienced such a service on a Liveaboard.Lots of surprises and fun entertainment, as well as great presentations about the islands and wildlife.Food was delicious, enough choice for vegans on every occasion and amazing food for carnivores. Lots of local snacks between dives, always enough of everything.Great dives, super professionally organised, fantastic briefings, party atmosphere before and after dives were an additional plus, as well as the hot towels (life saving sometimes).Exceeded wildest expectations. Can only recommend.

With top-notch facilities, professional dive guides, delicious meals and meticulous service from the crew, it's definitely worth choosing again!
I had prepared a long time in advance for this Galapagos liveaboard trip, and the Galaxy Diver2 completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment they boarded, every crew member – including the captain, dive guide, chef and even the logistics staff – showed meticulous service and made the entire journey feel warm. Every day is full of surprises, and every dive is unforgettable. The facilities on board are top-notch, and the clean and comfortable environment is reassuring, especially the purification of the toiletry water is in place (which is rare in this archipelago!). ）。 The diving team is not only skilled, but also vividly explains the unique geography and ecology of the Galapagos, making every time you go into the water, it feels like exploring a nature documentary. Even more surprising is the onboard food and 24-hour coffee service (their two professional coffee machines are definitely a commendation!). ）。 What touched me the most was the intention of the whole team - whether it was the captain's careful adjustment of the route to avoid wind and waves, or the hot towels handed over by the crew at any time, the details showed professionalism and care. It was definitely a perfect diving experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back to Galaxy Diver2 next time!

A shout out to the crew ,and dive guides. Without the exceptional treatment from Teo, Raul, Carlos, William, Paulo, the chef and his sous chef, and all the crew who I missed naming, the trip wouldn’t
The dive plans were well thought out. It was an ‘all hands on deck’ mindset for dive prep and post dive. Even the captain helped the divers get ready each time and with the wet suits after the dive. Meals and snacks were plentiful, beautiful presented and dietary restrictions respected.

Nice boat, nice staff and amazing dive sites
Generally speaking, it's a fantastic trip itself, if there are more dives arranged, and more dive guides the trip will be perfect. Despite some miscommunication and wrong information provided by liveaboard, the whole trip is very enjoyable.
