Famous for its wild and diverse wildlife above and below land, it’s no surprise we are planning several trips to the islands for 2023 and 2024!
During our land-based excursion, we will have the opportunity to do 10 ocean dives, including 2 days with the hammerheads, which is awesome of course. But to make it even better we will have the opportunity to explore the town and some of the nearby nature reserves like the Giant Tortoise Park!
Why we love diving in the Galapagos
Ok, you probably don’t need us to tell you that the Galapagos is an absolute dream for divers. But the big draw for us on this trip is not one, but 2 days (4 dives) at Gordon Rocks, a spectacular hammerhead shark cleaning site!
