Why you will love this trip

What makes this trip special, and why travelers choose to come back.

Hammerheads by the hundred

Darwin and Wolf are among the only places on Earth where hammerhead sharks school in the hundreds. Drop into the current and watch them stream past in formation, raw and humbling and unforgettable.

Whale sharks in the open blue

The nutrient-rich waters of the northern Galapagos draw some of the largest whale sharks on the planet. They materialize from the blue on the same dives as the hammerheads, the kind of encounter that resets your sense of scale.

Wildlife that has never feared humans

Sea lions sprawl across the docks of San Cristobal, marine iguanas bask on black lava, and playful turtles investigate divers in the central islands. The fearlessness here is found nowhere else on Earth.

Lima: food and history finale

The journey home pauses in Lima for the Plaza de Armas, the Larco Museum, Miraflores, and some of the best food in South America. A rich, full-circle ending to an epic expedition.
