Liveaboard boats for the single traveller with single berth cabins
In my time I’ve done loads of traveling as a single traveller. But if you’re a solo diver, perhaps not always so good. For safety reasons you shouldn’t dive alone. So what’s the solution if you’re looking for a Galapagos liveaboard with a single cabin?
Liveaboard single cabin all Galapagos: Liveaboard single cabin all Galapagos includes single cabins with a single bed. But it also includes twin or triple cabins for solo divers or single travellers who are happy to share with other single travellers, who are also looking to scuba dive the Galapagos Islands. This article includes non-diving liveaboards too.
The best way to dive the Galapagos Islands, and especially Darwin Island and Wolf Rock, is by a scuba diving liveaboard. You can check the latest and best deals on Galapagos liveaboards using the following window:
Liveaboard single cabin all Galapagos – for divers and non-divers
The Galapagos Islands are on many scuba diver’s and non-diver’s bucket lists. This region is a part of the Atlas of Marine Protection due to it’s incredible marine biodiversity. This includes being one of the best places in the world to see hammerhead sharks.
The Islands of the Galapagos were of course made famous by Charles Darwin’s exploration. This gives them a huge historical background. But in particular in relation to the law of evolution.
However, Darwin only explored the islands themselves, but he didn’t explore the underwater world of the Galapagos Islands.
If you are planning your diving holiday to the Galapagos Islands and you’re single, this makes things slightly more difficult as a solo diver.
But as a solo traveller and single diver and without a dive buddy, you will soon discover that a liveaboard is the best option.
If you’re travelling alone and you’re looking to explore the islands of Galapagos or the underwater world of the Galapagos Islands, a liveaboard boat with single, twin or triple cabins is the way to go.
Liveaboard single cabin all Galapagos – the options as a solo diver or single traveller
I’ve reviewed a number of Galapagos liveaboard boats in this article. Included in this list are both luxury liveaboards and cheaper liveaboards. These are split, as follows:
Galapagos liveaboards with single cabins.
Galapagos liveaboards with single beds in shared rooms – either twin or triple.

Table of dive liveaboards with single cabins
The following table includes dive liveaboards with single cabins from around the world:
The following table includes dive liveaboards with twin cabins for sharing from around the world (Note: You will only have to share with another diver of the same sex, unless you come as a mixed sex pair who are happy to share):
The Scuba Diving Earth Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating) is explained on each liveaboard review when you click the “Discover Liveaboard” link, and is my own Liveaboard Luxury Rating I’ve assigned to all liveaboards. Choosing between liveaboards is helped by customer scores, and if you get stuck choosing between two or three liveaboards, where each one has a high customer score out of 10, you can use the SDE Luxury Rating to help narrow down your choice.
Think about it like using Booking.com when searching for the best hotel. Booking.com also use a customer score where each customer rates hotels out of 10. This is similar to the liveaboard customer rating, which is also rated out of 10. But let’s say you only like to stay in hotels rated 8 and above on Booking.com, but you also want the hotel to have WIFI or parking, or to have a swimming pool etc. The features each hotel has is usually secondary to the score out of 10.
