Galapagos: Liveaboard Diving at Darwin and Wolf

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.

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.

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.
