About this itinerary

The Galápagos are a UNESCO World Heritage site, an official Ecuadorian province, an Ecuadorian National Park and also a biological marine reserve. An archipelago of volcanic islands straddling the equator, the Galapagos Islands are situated approximately 970 km west of mainland Ecuador, and comprise 18 islands and 100 islets covering a distance of 220km from North to South. The islands are world-renowned for their vast endemic and unique wildlife, which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle in 1835. Few people are granted the opportunity of diving the pristine waters of the Galápagos, and no place on Earth boasts such a variety of underwater sightings. During the 10 night 'Master the Galápagos' liveaboard diving itinerary, you are likely to encounter the famous Galápagos shark, schooling hammerheads, penguins, marine iguanas, and much, much more; Truly, a trip of a lifetime.
