Galapagos
1 / 1
The Galapagos Islands — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s premier dive destinations. The archipelago lies at the confluence of three ocean currents, creating conditions for extraordinary marine biodiversity. Schools of hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, sea lions, marine iguanas, sea turtles, manta rays, and whale sharks make every dive unforgettable.
The standard route covers the main islands and dive sites, including Gordon Rocks (hammerhead cleaning station), Kicker Rock, North Seymour, and Cousin’s Rock. Topside excursions to giant tortoise reserves, blue-footed booby colonies, and volcanic landscapes complement the diving program.
