Plan this trip with AI →Archipel Galapagos I is a comfortable first-class catamaran built for an intimate exploration of the Galapagos Islands, based in San Cristobal, Ecuador. Registered as a PADI Dive Boat, it welcomes just 16 guests, giving divers a relaxed atmosphere and personalized service that blends modern comfort with a genuine sense of adventure.
PADI scuba diving anchors the experience, complemented by naturalist-led island walks, snorkeling, kayaking, and panga rides to observe the Galapagos' remarkable wildlife up close. Certified naturalist guides lead every excursion, so the vessel suits travelers who want discovery paired with a close connection to nature.
Between dives, eight air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms and large ocean-view windows offer a quiet retreat, while a bright indoor lounge, a shaded terrace, and a wide sun deck make room to unwind. Warm-water showers are on hand, meals are freshly prepared on board, and the crew works in both English and Spanish — a natural fit for anyone seeking an authentic, unhurried Galapagos experience.

★ 5 · Jon Thomas · 2022-07-21My wife and I loved this experience. The staff and crew were amazing. Our naturalist guide, Rogelio, is a wonderful person who is super knowledgeable on such a wide array of topics including wildlife, plants, geology, and history of the Galapagos. Food was amazing. Service was unforgettable. The staff to guest ratio was impressive. The small boat size (8 guest cabins) created a wonderful boat atmosphere and allowed excursions to small hidden gems with low visitor traffic. Our daily itinerary was packed full of snorkeling and hiking every day. Our tour was not a diving trip, but got us up close and personal to the land and sea across multiple islands in the Galapagos -- and they are all so different. It was a trip of a lifetime for us.
