The M/V Sky Dancer cruises the Galapagos Islands in search of sea lions, penguins, schooling hammerhead sharks, turtles, stingrays, whale sharks and the magnificent mantas. Included in planned itineraries are visits to the very remote islands of Wolf and Darwin. The newly constructed Sky Dancer features all the Dancer Fleet amenities you have come to expect including Nitrox fills, private en-suite facilities, spacious lounge areas, fine dining and more.

The Ecuadorian corporation that owns Sky Dancer, Ecoventura, is proud to announce their official recognition as one of the first recipients of the SmartVoyager seal of approval for their entire operation in Galapagos. “We have always tried to be responsible” says Ecoventura President, Santiago Dunn, “but this process brings in the best science and the best ideas from many different groups, showing us ways to improve our operation.”
