The Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are world-renowned for their exceptional marine biodiversity and pristine ecosystems. Located in the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos offer one of the most unique and thrilling dive experiences on the planet. Home to an array of endemic species, the islands are a diver’s paradise, offering encounters with hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, sea lions, manta rays, and schools of vibrant tropical fish. The strong currents of the Galapagos create a dynamic underwater environment where divers can witness the incredible convergence of cold and warm oceanic waters, bringing together species from both the Pacific and the Galapagos Archipelago.

Diving in the Galapagos is an adventure unlike any other, with famous dive sites such as Wolf and Darwin Islands, Devil’s Crown, and Gordon Rocks. These remote and pristine dive sites are teeming with marine life and offer a variety of exciting dive experiences — from drift dives along underwater pinnacles to encounters with schools of pelagics and massive oceanic creatures.

Available Months:
The Humboldt Explorer operates year-round, with peak dive conditions from June to November. During this period, the nutrient-rich upwelling waters attract large pelagic species, including whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, and schools of rays. However, the Galapagos offers exceptional diving year-round, with slightly warmer water temperatures and calmer seas from December to May.
