Darwin and Wolf
1 / 1
A premium route to the northern islands of the Galapagos archipelago — the legendary Darwin and Wolf. Wolf Island amazes with underwater landscapes of grottoes and caves, while Darwin Island with its famous arch attracts walls of hundreds of hammerhead sharks. From June to November, whale sharks visit the islands. The route includes a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station and excursions to Bartolome, Santa Cruz, and Plaza islands. Diving here requires serious experience: powerful currents and cold thermoclines are compensated by incredible encounters with Galapagos sharks, dolphins, sea lions, and turtles.
