Galápagos | 2025

20th - 27th October 2025

The “Enchanted Islands” of the Galápagos are found in the Pacific Ocean, 926 kilometres west of Ecuador. The Galápagos archipelago is composed of 13 main islands, 7 smaller islands and islets. These islands and their surrounding waters form an Ecuadorian province.

Undoubtedly some of the most spectacular pelagic diving on the planet, the Galápagos Islands are one of those rare places where you can dive through hundreds of hammerhead sharks to find a whale shark cruising along. At Darwin you will find silky sharks, sea turtles, giant morays, schooling fish in their thousands, dolphins and other big animals.

At Wolf Island you can expect to see huge Galápagos sharks and eagle rays up close, whilst dives at Cabo Marshall will put you face to face with giant oceanic manta rays or in the midst of a school of millions of black-striped salemas. Macro life is plentiful with Black Coral bushes sheltering seahorses, blennies, nudibranchs, hawk fish and frogfish. Marine iguanas are a unique sight, along with speedy Galápagos penguins and playful sea lions.

This is but a mere taste of why divers consistently proclaim Galápagos to have the healthiest marine life in the Pacific. Whether you’re a photographer or a diver looking to experience this land frontier, we’ll make sure to make this the most productive dive trip you’ve ever had.

Diving Galápagos Islands

There are many wonders to discover in the Galápagos both above and below the water. Its geographical location at the convergence of three ocean currents makes it one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. Ongoing seismic and volcanic activity reflects the processes that formed the islands. Together with the extreme isolation of the islands, it has lead to the development of unusual plants and animal life.
