TL

Galapagos Sky is a 30-metre yacht built in 2001 specifically for diving in the Galapagos and fully refurbished in April 2025. Eight cabins on two decks take up to 16 guests. The vessel has worked the archipelago for over twenty years, and its captain and crew are among the most experienced in the region.

The schedule is what matters most here. Every trip gives three full days to Wolf and Darwin, the most famous dive sites in the Pacific: schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, dolphins, and whale sharks from June to November. A week adds up to 19 dives, up to four a day including a night dive. Diving is done from pangas, so gear stays assembled on the dive deck for the whole trip. Nitrox is included in the price.

The dive deck has warm fresh-water showers, rinse hoses, DIN adaptors and a separate camera table with a charging station. Hot towels are handed out after every dive, along with hot chocolate, pastries and fresh fruit.

Inside there is a fully air-conditioned salon with an audio and video system and a separate dining area. The cuisine is Ecuadorian and international, served plated, and drinks — including beer, wine and spirits — are included. The top deck has loungers for resting between dives and stargazing in the evening.

Beyond the diving, the programme includes three land visits: North Seymour with its blue-footed boobies, the Santa Cruz highlands with giant tortoises, and panga rides off Fernandina and Isabela to see penguins, flightless cormorants and marine iguanas.

You pay the rate the operator publishes. The only thing added on top is the actual payment processing cost — no fee of ours.

Pay by card

We send you a Stripe invoice — pay by card, in your own currency, from anywhere in the world. The transfer to the operator is handled on our side.

Support in your language

We help you pick the cabin and dates, answer questions on the route and gear, and stay reachable until you are home — in English, in your time zone.

We quote the exact amount when confirming the booking: it covers the operator's rate plus the actual payment processing cost. No hidden charges.
