Has anyone been on either Galapagos Legend in the last 6 months? I would like to know what you thought of the crew,the boat, and the food. Did you encounter any problems on board?

My wife and I are planning a trip to the Galapagos this December and we are trying to get as much information as possible.

Try doing a search, there are several trip reports on the Galapagos Legend.

My wife and I went last June on the Legend and it was one of the best experiences we have had. The ship was great, the food was great and the crew was the best! Remember that the crew mostly work for tips, so tip well.

We did an “express” run to Wolf and Darwin where we spent most of the time looking for “Senor Gigante” (Whale Shark). Alas, we didn’t see any, which is very rare not to see.

The diving was exciting but a little cold at times so be prepared.

I would dive with them again in a heartbeat.

The unique diversity of above and below water animal life in the Galapagos is the result of the many currents that converge on the islands. In particular the Humboldt current from the south brings the cool water in August.

Best diving I have ever done. Very strong currents in the vertical direction but unsurpassed wildlife make it truly a diver's paradise.
