Dive into the Heart of the Galapagos only from $6,599

The Galapagos Islands are a diver's paradise, home to extraordinary marine life found nowhere else. The Tiburon Explorer’s itineraries include iconic dive sites like Darwin Island, Wolf Island, and Cousin's Rock. 

At Darwin and Wolf Islands, dive with schooling hammerheads, silky sharks, Galapagos sharks, and whale sharks during the season. The waters are rich with marine life, from sea turtles and eagle rays to playful sea lions. For macro photographers, Cousin's Rock offers a feast of small marine creatures like sea horses and barnacle blennies.

Diving operations are smooth and efficient, with two large pangas (tenders) to access even the most remote sites. The Tiburon Explorer's dive deck is well-equipped, featuring a large camera table with a charging station, rinse bins, and individual storage areas.

The adventure continues on land with optional tours to explore the unique wildlife and landscapes of the Galapagos. Visit North Seymour and Santa Cruz Islands to see Giant Tortoises, Blue-Footed Boobies, Frigate Birds, sea lions, and marine iguanas in their natural habitats.

The Galapagos Islands are a once-in-a-lifetime destination, offering both underwater and terrestrial wonders that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
