Galapagos has been some of the greatest diving we’ve ever done, so much life, well worth the cost and travel to get there.
We had a week aboard the Galápagos Sky in 2017 and loved it so rebooked for January 2024 (10 months in advance)
5 weeks out the cancelled on us due to not enough divers. Our dates weren’t flexible but we managed to book onto the Tiberon Explorer just 1 day later than planned (still cost thousands to change flights / hotels etc)
Now 7 weeks after cancellation and Galapagos Sky (or Ecoventures their sales company) still haven’t refunded our $13k. Been chasing them weekly and they apologies saying delayed due to holidays and other BS. All very disappointing.
Tiberon Explorer was a great boat and crew, highly recommended. El Niño had brought unusually high temperatures to the waters around Galapagos which although very pleasant to dive in, had alas driven some of the big life away / deeper. Still some great diving.
In summary,
Tiberon Explorer awesome, book it.
Galapagos Sky, your money isn’t safe, avoid like the plague.
