This was our 4th live aboard with Perter Hughes.We flew into Quito,Ecurador
and were put up at a nice hotel for the night.We were told not to venture
to far from the hotel because Quito has a crime problem.The next morning we
flew to the San Cristobal,Galapagos on AeroGal airlines.Despite all the
baggage fears ,we weren't charged any extra for excess weight.I would
recomend trying to fly that airline instead of Tame airlines.We travled 565
miles on the Sky Dancer.Its a fine boat but book the upper deck cabins
because the water conditions can get rough.The Cabins are more money but
well worth it.We cruised the Galapagos Islasnds and saw lots of sea
lions,penguins,scooling hammerhead sharks,turtles,stingrays and over 20
whale shark.There is so much sea life you can get sensory overload,but
don't expect to find magnigicent coral.Darwin and Wolf Islands are some of
the best diving I have ever done.Best times are June thru Nov if you want
to see the whale sharks.I would go June, July again because the water at
Darwin and Wolf is warmer(77).The other islands it was 61-69.The diving can
be challenging and may not be good for beginners. We also did three land
tours and 2 snorkel trips,which were also very good .The crew did a great
job of taking care of the divers.They even helped you get your wetsuit off
and they rinsed and hung it up for you.The food was worst part.They cook a
local menu and was not up to Peter Hughes standards we used to from other
live aboards.Galapagos were a true adventure of a lifetime.
