There’s a reason why liveaboard diving in the Galapagos Islands is on every divers’ bucket list. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Galapagos National Park is a paradise of protected islands bursting with unique marine life found nowhere else on earth. Diving adventures here encompass everything from aggregating hammerheads and whale sharks, to penguins, marine iguanas, and more. The sheer number of rare species is nothing short of incredible. Plus, at the isolated Wolf and Darwin Islands, you can watch as huge schools of scalloped hammerheads, silky sharks, and tuna float on by. With so much to see, all itineraries include tours ashore to see endemic giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and more. If you like natural spaces, sharks, and spectacular diving, then liveaboard scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands is a must!
