Galapagos Cruise Aqua – This spirited ship is the ideal vessel for enthusiastic divers and those who are hungry for adventure. Aqua offers different weekly tours from diving expeditions in some of the world’s best sites, to visiting uninhabited islands. With Aqua, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds – underwater and on land.
During the cruise, you will get to experience the amazing animal kingdom found in the waters of the Galapagos archipelago, as well as in the islands. The Aqua has a capacity of 16 passengers with 9 cabins. Both snorkelling and diving equipment is available for rental on board.
What is truly great about the Galapagos cruise Aqua is that it is both a dive safari as well as a nature cruise. This means that guests can combine both tours to enjoy the Galapagos to the fullest. The dive safari is led by an experienced dive instructor and a dive master, while a certified nature guide will bring guests on exciting excursions in the uninhabited islands of the Galapagos.
