AN EXPLOSION OF NATURE


Enjoy the exotic and exclusive Galapagos Islands on a 10-day trip in which we will dive in the best spots of the archipelago aboard the ship “Aqua” with an extension of land around the islands of Isabela and Santa Cruz, where we will enjoy the best landscapes, spot all the wildlife in the area and do a large number of activities surrounded by nature in its purest state.

The Galápagos is the second-largest marine reserve in the world. With its marvelous underwater life—featuring large species and a wealth of biodiversity—it is the best diving destination on the planet: all kinds of sharks (hammerhead, Galápagos, whale, and white-tipped sharks…), pelagic fish, sea lions, eagle rays, iguanas, turtles…

But it’s not just amazing underwater… On land, we’ll have the chance to see land tortoises, iguanas, penguins, and a host of exotic birds native to the area, as well as volcanic landscapes that are unique in the world.

ITINERARY

Day 1 (20th October, Tuesday).

On arrival at the airport: the first checkpoint to ensure that no non-native plant or animal species are brought onto the islands. Your TCC (Transit Control Card) will also be stamped.

Finally, you will also need to pay the entrance fee for the Galápagos National Park (200 USD). The guide will meet us at the airport and accompany us by coach to board the yacht ‘Aqua’, where we will be given a welcome briefing and assigned our cabins. After lunch, we’ll set sail and head for North Seymour, where the diving programme will begin. In the afternoon, we’ll have our first ‘check dive’.

Day 2 (21st October, Wednesday).

After sailing around the coast of Isabela Island, we will arrive at Cape Marshall, situated in the north-west of the island. We plan to do three dives in the area. In the afternoon, we will set sail for Darwin.

Day 3 (22nd October, Thursday).

After a long sail, we’ll arrive at the legendary Darwin, where, since May 2021, the arch has been replaced by a series of pillars following its collapse. A day of four dives in the area.

In the morning, there will be two more dives in Darwin. After the dives, we’ll sail to Wolf Island, where we plan to do two more dives.

A day of three dives around Wolf Island. After the last dive, we’ll sail to Isabela Island.

Day 6 (25th October, Sunday).

Back on Isabela, we’ll be diving early in the morning at Punta Vicente Roca (north-east of the island). We’ll sail to Fernandina to dive at Cabo Douglas, before the iguanas leave the water.
