Great boat, great staff, great trip. Fantastic boat, itinerary and guides. Ran like a well oiled machine, cabins were cleaned and beds made every day, all staff was great, would recommend to anyone. We saw better wildlife than a guy I spoke to who was on a boat that was 2x the cost.”

A fabulous week on Aqua. We had some amazing dives during our week and we had a great mix of divers which made the week enjoyable, everyone got on well. We had a fabulous dive guide, Juan Carlos, whose knowledge, love and passion for diving in the Galapagos shines through. The boat is run extremely well and professionally with friendly and helpful crew. Food was also amazing, plentiful and varied. All in all a superb week on board Aqua. Thank you.”
