The 100ft (30m) long, mono-hulled liveaboard that the Aggressor Fleet operates in Ecuador, Galapagos Aggressor III operates trips all year round. Normally for 7 nights' duration and, with the Aggressor's local experience, you can be confident your cruise will include some of the best diving possible, as well as an interesting full-day's land tour.

The Galapagos Aggressor III is a custom-built diving liveaboard boat, so space and convenience are evident from the moment you step on board. With a 16 guest maximum and 9 crew, you can expect plenty of room - in the en-suite staterooms and throughout the boat - as well as a high level of personal service in both English and Spanish.

Almost all dives are done from a dive tender, allowing easy access to all the best sites. Photographers will appreciate that nitrox is available and the dive deck features both a camera rinse tank and table. After diving, guests can warm up in the upper deck hot tub while viewing the spectacular Galapagos island scenery.

You can also relax in the air-conditioned saloon with a complimentary local beer and local wine, stay connected with friends using the onboard internet (fee payable), check their images on the onboard computer, or enjoy some music or movies on the entertainment system. Comfort, service and some seriously spectacular scuba diving on a trip to the remote islands of the Galapagos all await you, the discerning liveaboard diver on the Galapagos Aggressor III.

More Trip Details...

Notes: Galapagos is a popular cruise destination with limited liveaboard spaces. We recommend you book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Dive experience: Advanced Open Water Diver license and/or experience of diving in strong currents is recommended.

Cruise price per person includes: Cabin accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinking water, soft drinks, local wine and beer, transfers to the boat from Baltra Airport, dives (as detailed in the trips above), experienced English-speaking divemaster(s) (4-5 divers per DM), tanks, weights and weightbelts, all taxes.

Cruise price per person excludes (mandatory, unless customer provides own): Scuba equipment (complete set incl. dive computer USD 175 for 7 nights, USD 260 for 10 nights, excludes wetsuit), dive insurance, Galapagos National Park entrance fee US$ 100. Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival (cash or credit card).

Optional extras: Imported alcoholic drinks,, restaurant meal on final evening, nitrox fills for enriched air certified divers (7 nights US$ 100, 10 nights US$ 150), wetsuit (7 or 10 nights USD 70), torch,. Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival. Note: prices of items purchased onboard are subject to change.

How to get there: Galapagos Aggressor diving trips depart from Baltra every Thursday afternoon. Guests fly into Ecuador and take a connecting flight, through Guayaquil or Quito, to Baltra in the Galapagos Islands. You will be greeted by yacht staff during the morning at the airport and transferred to the dock for boarding. Both Guayaquil and Quito have daily flights, although Guayaquil is recommended with cheaper prices and better-timed connections. For more details, including airlines, see our Galapagos travel information section. You will need to overnight in Guayaquil or Quito before flying on to the Galapagos. To ensure easy flight connections, a 2 night stop-over is recommended. If overnighting in Galapagos you will stay in Santa Cruz or San Cristobal since Baltra has no accommodation.
At the end of the trip you will disembark at Baltra at 8 am and be transferred back to the airport. The last dive of the trip will be at around 11:00 hrs on the previous day. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving. The flight from Galapagos to the Ecuador mainland arrives in Guayaquil (and then Quito) in the afternoon. You will probably need to overnight in Guayaquil or Quito since most international flights depart too early to make the connection possible.
We will place your domestic flight requirements with Aggressor who are responsible for booking the flights. We request your patience with this process since there are often waiting lists and slow confirmations of availability. You must inform us whether you are flying into Guayaquil or Quito before domestic flights can be considered. If you wish to extend your stay in Galapagos to enjoy land tours please decide that early in the booking process to ensure flight availability.

Non-diver rate: None.

Single supplement (if you do not want to share accommodation): This is optional - single travelers may choose to share a stateroom or pay a supplement of 65% of the normal published price.

Dive clubs and group discounts: Pay for 8 guests and 1 additional person can join the cruise in a Deluxe Stateroom free of charge (9+ guests).

Whole boat charter rate (per night): Pay for 14 guests and 2 additional person can join the cruise in a Deluxe stateroom free of charge.

Add-on package: Galapagos is a once-in-a-lifetime destination and the above water creatures and environments are just as impressive as below. You can extend your time in this nature-lovers paradise by adding a 3, 4 or 7 night non-diving liveaboard safari. These are wildlife and natural history tours around some of the finest locations in the Galapagos with naturalist guides, literature and presentations. Don't just leave after a week of diving! Get the full picture of these incredible islands.
