Reviews about Liveaboards with Non-Diving Activities
Galaxy Diver II, GalapagosGalagents, 2 reviews This was our 5th liveaboard and it definitely took first place! Everything from the boat, the rooms, the crew, the food, the guides was 5 stars. And what to say about the marine and land life in the Galapagos. It was a dream come true. A big thank you to the Galaxy Diver 2 crew for making this trip so special for us all.Galaxy Diver II, GalapagosGalagents, 2 reviews Great experience
This cruise wasn't cheap, but it was worth the money. One of the best boats I've ever been on. It was hard for me to imagine the conditions on small boats with waves that were - the ocean there isn't calm. Great food, super competent crew, great dive sites, hot towels after diving... You get the feeling that the guides want to make your dreams come true and try to find the fish you want to see...The only thing that is excessive for me is the suggestion of tipping 10 percent of the cruise price. It is not mandatory, but the crew should earn adequately for the price of the cruise.Ondina, IndonesiaThe Best Diving In The World, 1 review Good experience
Very nice cruise. Food war very good - juices and fruits were amazing. The cruise director was very helpful, open to our wishes and always ready to help. Staff is very nice. Dive sites in Raja Ampat are incredible. It was very nice time. However, the cabins on this boat are quite small. We were only 8 persons (16 places). I think it might be a bit tight when the boat is full...Questions and Answers
