Aqua Description
The Galapagos Islands are a unique destination, and the Aqua offers two types of itineraries. One is a naturalist itinerary in which you can explore the islands and the magnificent animals that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution, or second; you can choose the diving itinerary exploring the depths of a rich and lively ecosystem accompanied by expert divers. The vessel also offers Naturalist Guides in ample comfortable cabins with outstanding service, making your trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Aqua features two tank compressors, enriched air nitrox, scuba tanks with valves, belts, weights, and a rinse table and camera. Dives are done from a dive tender, allowing divers to access the different diving sites easily.
Aqua Cabins
Aqua has eight cabins, four located on the main deck with windows that will allow you to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset of the Galapagos Islands. Three other cabins with bunk beds are on the lower deck, and one master cabin has an ocean view for supreme comfort. All of them are equipped with private bathrooms, air conditioning, electricity, and all that you may need to make your stay perfect.
