Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“An amazing week on board the Galaxy Diver 2 in the Galapogas. I cannot speak highly enough of how good this trip was. The Diving was unbelievable and exceeded any expectattions I had pre-trip (and believe me they were high!). Jorge and Paolo were excellent Dive Guides and the staff on the Galaxy Diver could not do enough to make sure our experience was first rate. The Galaxy Diver 2 itself is like a floating 5 Star Hotel and the food throught the trip was excellent with high quality and variety throughout the trip. If and when I return to dive in the Galapogas, this is the Liveaboard I would choose.”
Recommended for: Quality of the Diving / Dive Sites and Dive Guides. Quality of the Galaxy Diver Liveaboard. Expertise and Friendliness of the Staff.
