Best team and diving in Galapagos
We spent a week of diving in January on Danubio Azul liveaboard. Experience both above and underwater was amazing. The boat is clean, the cabins are comfortable and there is everything you would need for a week in the ocean. The team is professional, energetic, helpful and always making sure you have everything you need. Make sure you ask for the dive guide David Iglesias, always eager to show you more and going one step further so you can see the best of Galapagos, both on land and underwater. Thank you Danubio Azul team for making a dream come true the best way possible. Hope to see you again!

Best Galapagos liverboard
Without a doubt, this is the best liveaboard you can take, when in the Galapagos. We dived with them for 8 days in January and were absolutely blown away by the professionalism and exclusive diving they provide. Captain Wilson and his team are excellent hosts, the boat has everything that you need - expect no luxury, but be sure you will have a clean, comfortable cabin. The true luxury comes when diving - it is privilege to dive in a small group, as only Danubio Azul can provide and ask for David Iglesias to be you guide. Danubio Azul is the only boat to dive 2 whole days on Darwin and you cannot find anything better than that! Special thanks to the entire crew, David and captain Wilson, it has been a pleasure and experience of a lifetime.

Dream trip
The diving was absolutely stellar, which is what it really comes down to and we had a fantastic time. The crew of Danubio Azul was great - very helpful and accommodating. The food was surprisingly great. The boat and cabins are not geared towards luxury, but are functional and had the essentials. The upper deck is a very nice area to relax in between dives and enjoy the scenery. We had cabin number one which was up on the top level and would highly recommend it.
