Galapagos Diving Liveaboard 2028

All visitors traveling to the Galápagos must take a flight from one of mainland Ecuador’s two largest cities (Quito or Guayaquil). Due to flight schedules, this normally requires at least an overnight stay in continental Ecuador.

You will board your liveaboard in San Cristóbal. After safety briefings and equipment setup, you’ll head to Isla Lobos for a check dive. This first dive allows guests to fine-tune their equipment and get comfortable with the conditions before the adventure truly begins.

Begin the day with a landing on North Seymour Island, one of the best places in the archipelago to observe blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, land iguanas and sea lions. In the afternoon, enjoy two dives at Cousins Rock, a vibrant underwater world of volcanic walls, black corals, reef fish, rays and sea lions.

Today you’ll dive the productive waters of the western Galápagos. Cape Douglas on Fernandina Island is one of the only places in the world where divers can regularly observe marine iguanas feeding underwater.

Later, explore Punta Vicente Roca on Isabela Island, a nutrient-rich site known for mola mola (ocean sunfish), sea turtles, penguins, flightless cormorants and a remarkable diversity of macro life. The scenery above water is equally impressive, with dramatic volcanic coastlines and abundant wildlife.
