The Galápagos Islands, a living natural museum in the middle of the Pacific

Powerful and unique. Here, volcanoes meet deep blue waters, marine iguanas swim alongside hammerhead sharks, and sea lions playfully dance through dive groups. The archipelago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and ranks among the best diving destinations in the world.

In particular, the legendary Darwin & Wolf Islands offer a true big fish paradise, with schools of hammerhead sharks, mantas, whale sharks (especially June–November), dolphins, and more. These two islands hold the highest shark biomass on earth. No other place offers such dense and spectacular shark encounters.

Yet even from land, the unique wildlife and fascinating underwater landscapes can be experienced up close, for example, by diving from Santa Cruz or Isabela.
