Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests does Galaxy Diver II carry?

16 guests in air-conditioned cabins, each with a private hot-water bathroom, served by a crew of 9 plus a bilingual naturalist guide.

Do the cabins have air conditioning and private bathrooms?

Yes — every cabin is air-conditioned and has a private hot-water bathroom.

Yes. A bilingual (English/Spanish) Galápagos National Park naturalist guide leads every excursion.

What activities are included?

When is the best time to go?
