Had a great dive at Kicker Rock with Aquaventures. Top equipment, delicious food and good support on the dive boat.

I booked the 360 ​​degree tour with this agency and the diving at Kicker Rock once.1) 360 degree tour: the beginning with snorkeling and the subsequent beach were great. The rest of the day, however, was just bumpy sailing on a boat that you couldn't see. So we spent most of the time staring at the side of the boat. The second snorkeling spot was also the worst I've ever been to: nothing to see and no one on the boat could understand why they stopped there. For the price, this tour with the ship we were on is not recommended. Our crew didn't even have soap for their masks at the snorkeling spot, so our masks kept fogging up.2) Diving: the agency actually put an absolute beginner who only had his open water certificate and couldn't even swim in the group with us advanced divers —> sorry, totally irresponsible. Finally, I was told that we would be diving up to 25m deep, which you can't do with just open water (plus the dive site isn't exactly suitable for beginners). Ultimately, the instructor in the boat told him shortly beforehand that he couldn't let him dive like that (luckily). The diving itself at Kicker Rock was really great and a unique experience, even if our diving instructor wasn't particularly friendly with us.Overall, I wouldn't necessarily book my tours with this agency again.

I did a day of diving with them and was very disappointed. The staff (neither on land nor on the boat) does not want to work, they speak to you bordering on rudeness and the safety procedures are not followed to the letter. Snacks and lunch are the bare minimum. Fortunately Kicker Rock is so extraordinary that even with this type of service the dive remains spectacular but I would never dive with Aquaventures again

A great experience from beginning to end. We were the only 2 snorkelers on a tour with several divers. However even though we didn’t dive we saw an incredible amount of wildlife. Immediately upon jumping in the water we were greeted by several Galapagos sharks. Our snorkel guide was great. He led us around and through the rock formation and we were able to spot more sharks, turtles, a playful sea lion, rays, even a Hammerhead! He was able to get some good footage and pictures of us with the animals on our GoPro. Lunch was filling and much better than expected and the second snorkel spot/beach was beautiful and remote. Had a great experience overall and highly recommend AquaVentures!

We had two diving days with the guys of Aquaventures: Roca Ballena, Carawa and two dives at Kickers Rock. The dive guides were great fun, all perfectly organized, good equipment, simply perfect. We‘ve seen many curious, playful sea lions, sea turtles, sharks (among those a school of hammer heads), … absolutely recommendable.Thank you all Alex, Angel, Franklin, Matilde and all the other guys!!

Was underwhelmed by the staff. They appeared to be very unmotivated and just wanted to be done with the tour/dive. Other people on my group experienced it the same way.The equipment is in good shape and the safety precautions were very good. Still, I wouldn’t recommend or come back here. I think there might be better alternatives on San Cristobal.

Such a great experience with Aquaventures - thank you! I went diving at Kicker Rock, and our group of 8 had such a good time that 6/8 booked again for the next day, this time at Roca Ballena. Our guides (Daniel and Ivan for Kicker Rock, and I've forgotten the name of our guide the next day sorry 😬 ) were all awesome and the energy on the boat and then underwater was great. We were lucky with what we saw - a huge bait ball, sea lions, turtles, hammerheads, black tip sharks, and a huge eagle ray. Would highly recommend!

We had two unforgettable dives at Kicker's Rock. The equipment of the dive center was great and there were even women's suits. Franklin was a very professional dive guide who has a lot of experience and respected nature and animals at all times, truly one of a kind. We were able to experience two dives with countless hammer and reef sharks, to see reef sharks and sea lions hunting and always had the feeling of observing the animals and not disturbing them. An absolute plus is the crew and the ship 7 Mares we have never been on such a beautiful and large catamaran for a day trip with such a professional and courteous crew. Thanks!!!The pictures Franklin took while diving are great! Absolutely worth the money (diving is expensive in Galapagos)!

I’ve been diving with Aquaventures two years in a row and have not been disappointed. The crew is organized from the start of trying equipment on the day before and the staff speak English well. You’ll be placed on a boat with people from other shops and appointed a guide from the park service. We had Franklin who was top notch and highly recommend! We just had a horrible experience on Isabella and it really showcased the professionalism and organization of Aquaventures.

Great place for a day snorkel tour, their boat was quite nice and took it's time, it was a smooth ride so no issues with Sea Sickness. The guide they brought us to was very knowledgeable, took great videos and photos on their GoPro and shared them after so we could focus on the fish. Just be careful getting your equipment fitted, we had some issues getting everything to work comfortably.
We celebrated our 5-year marriage anniversary with Aquaventures! It was wonderful. It was like being in a whole new world under water. With their training and attention, I felt safe, even though I don’t swim all that well. They make you feel safe they are true pros. And if you’ve fear or doubts, they will assist you and train you.They’re the best. Also, kudos for Francisco for being patient like a Saint.

We booked and paid online before we got to San Cristobal, which was unnerving because our previous dive was cancelled last minute but this company delivered!! They were all set up and ready for us to try on our gear the night before, it was all new dive equipment, well taken care of too. The staff were all amazing, so helpful, accommodating and informative. All 3 trips we did with them were great and we saw so much! So happy we booked with aqua adventures, they went above and beyond to make our Dives amazing!! And they sent us all the videos which were so great!! Such a great experience!!

Great team at Aquaventures Dive center! We did an explore dive with Josue and he is the best Dive Master we could have wished for. He explained everything very well, made us feel safe and comfortable so that we had an amazing diving experience and could focus on the wildlife which was outstanding. We did Kickers Rock with them as well and the naturalist guide they work with (Angel) was really great, the equipment very good and the boat too. We were a small group which we liked as well. Thank you guys, you do an amazing job on San Crístobal.

Wonderful experience with a 360 tour thanks 100% to the guide Enrique. I have physical and mobility challenges and this course was tough but Enrique was so kind and encouraging and literally walked me through it! It was an amazing experience and great way to not just see but experience the beauty of the islands.

Aquaventures is a great business with even better day trips. Everyone who works here was very helpful, especially Josue. Their discovery dive is amazing and they make sure you enjoy it and feel safe. I would recommend Aquaventures to anyone interested in exploring San Cristobal.

I highly recommend here for your Galapagos' Diving! I did refresh Diving (Darwin Bay and Karahua), and Kicker Rock Diving. Communication with staff was very smooth and fun. Additionally Josue, his explanation about diving knowledge was so clear and great help for me. The equipments were maintained pretty well and comfortable. So, it was really enjoyable time, thank you so much!

We dove at Darwin bay and the ship wreck. It was so fun. The crew is very relaxed. The tuna sandwich was such a good snack between the dives. Stephen was a very calm instructor that helped us when my partner ran out of air. That is a very good quality in an instructor. I would definitely dive with them again. They also got really good GoPro footage!!
