Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Very good deal for those who are not looking for luxury but an amazing marine life exeperience. Highlights: Whale sharks, hammerheads, mola molas, iguanas. We were a very lucky group, and we saw every animal you can expect to see in the Galapagos. Overall: Some of the best dives in my life. The liveaboard itself is not the most comfortable. The cabins are reasonably spacious. The food is good, but it starts to repeat itself, and it's not a buffet. You get the same as everybody else, but they are willing to adapt to your wishes. On the sun deck they're missing perhaps some sun bed. We definitely recommend it for those who are interested in marine life and not in luxury.”
Recommended for: Diving locations. Friendly personel. Land Tours.
