ENDEMIC

It may seem unusual to people unfamiliar with Galapagos, but because of National Park regulations, if you want to see the wildlife on the island visitor sites and also dive at world-renowned pelagic sites such as Wolf Island and Darwin Island, you need to either take 2 separate cruises or combine a hotel stay with a diving cruise. Unless you book on the Aqua Galapagos Yacht! This is one of the few ships on which you can settle in and enjoy the best of both Galapagos worlds (land and sea) by booking a back-to-back 4/5-day naturalist cruise with an 8-day diving tour.

Divers will be pleased to know that full personal diving equipment is available on board the Aqua Diving Yacht, including wetsuit rentals and nitrox fills. You will be accompanied in the Galapagos marine reserve by 1 instructor guide and 1 dive master guide to ensure both safety and a great dive experience. The dive platform includes showers, a rinse table and a camera table. For naturalist cruises, a bilingual naturalist guide will be on hand to accompany your journey to the fascinating visitor sites for hiking and snorkeling. Once back on board, relax inside in the adjacent lounge and dining areas or step out onto the solarium or the bridge sundeck for great views of the archipelago. Her crew of 8 will make sure that you are comfortable and well served.

The Aqua Galapagos Yacht has 9 cabins for a maximum of 16 guests. The lower deck provides 3 cabins with a double-size lower bed and single upper bed for double or triple occupancy. The main deck has 1 cabin with a double-size lower bed and the 5 upper deck cabins have twin bunk beds. Lower deck cabins have portholes for natural light while main and upper deck cabins feature picture windows which you can open to let in the fresh sea breezes. All cabins have private bathrooms with hot-cold shower, air conditioning, and storage space. In addition, the ship provides biodegradable soap, shampoo and conditioner for all cabins.
