Welcome to the Galapagos Islands, where today marks the beginning of our diving adventure onboard
the Galaxy Diver liveaboard yacht. Our journey starts with our arrival at Seymour Airport, also known
as Baltra Airport, located on the island of Baltra. As we step off the plane, we'll be greeted by our
guide and the friendly staff of the Galaxy Diver, who will help us with our luggage and transfer us to
the Galaxy Diver.
Then, we'll enjoy a delicious lunch and settle into our cabins. But before we dive into the waters, it's
important to note that there are strict guidelines for passengers to the archipelago due to the area's
designation as a national park. These guidelines help preserve the delicate environment of the
Galapagos Islands, ensuring that we can continue to enjoy the beauty of this unique ecosystem for
years to come.
After all, we have the safety drill and check dive to try all the equipment by having our first immersion
among the wonders of the Galapagos Islands. With the Galaxy Diver as our home base, we'll explore
the pristine waters and encounter incredible marine life that can't be found anywhere else. It's sure
to be an unforgettable experience that will leave us with memories to last a lifetime.
As the sun rises on our first day of diving aboard the Galaxy Diver yacht, we can feel the excitement
building for what's in store at our first dive site, Punta Carrion. We gather our gear, and with the
guidance of our expert dive master instructors, we dive into the crystal-clear waters surrounding the
stunning Santa Cruz Island.
Descending deeper into the underwater world of Punta Carrion, we'll be immediately mesmerized by
the incredible visibility and the abundance of marine life that surrounds us—schools of hammerhead
and whale sharks, this last one available between June to December. At the same time, playful sea
lions dart in and out of the rocky underwater cliffs.
We learn more about the vivid and colorful world of tropical fish as we continue our exploration,
including groups of surgeonfish, angelfish, and parrotfish. Luckily, we can even find a few secretive
seahorses hidden in the reef's crevices.
Later, we joyfully discuss our underwater excursions. At the same time, the onboard cook makes a
lovely lunch when we return to the Galaxy Diver. Finally, in the late afternoon, we'll begin our 14 hours
of navigation through the Galapagos Sea to Wolf Island.
Today, we'll have an exciting diving adventure as we discover the hidden riches of this enchanted
location.
Our first stop is the breathtaking Shark Bay, where we can spot the majestic Galapagos shark, eagle
ray, and sea lion will meet you as you plunge into the ocean's depths. These magnificent creatures are
a sight to behold, with exquisite movements that will take your breath away.
Following a thrilling morning dive, we'll travel to La Banana to continue our journey and discover the
Galapagos Islands' abundant marine life. In addition, we'll be able to see playful sea lions in their native
environment, darting and whirling about us with elegant, engaging, and mesmerizing beauty.
As the day unfolds, we'll make our way to La Ventana Islet and El Derrumbe, two diving locations
known for their diverse marine life. Go into the fascinating world of colorful fish, turtles, and sea stars
as they welcome you into their natural home. The beauty and magic of the undersea environment will
wow you as you explore these hidden jewels.
As we wrap up our diving day, take a minute to enjoy the beautiful sunset while reflecting on the
incredible experiences of the day. The Galapagos Islands are indeed a treasure trove of natural beauty,
and we are privileged to accompany you on this magnificent voyage. Therefore, be ready to immerse
yourself in a world of wonder and go on a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Today, we'll take you to El Arenal. This magnificent location will leave you spellbound by the natural
beauty of the Galapagos Islands. A diving site considered one of the best diving points in the world.
This site is close to Darwin's Arch and offers moderate to strong currents with depths ranging from 46
to 121 ft and visibility from 40 to 80 ft. As you dive deeper into the sea, you'll be greeted by the
impressive Galapagos underwater biodiversity.
We'll then move on to Darwin's Tower, commonly known as Darwin's Arch, one of the most iconic
dive sites in the world. This awe-inspiring location is a must-visit for any avid diver. We're thrilled to
share this incredible experience with you. As you dive into the deep blue waters, a world of vibrant
coral, schools of colorful fish, and the majestic beauty of the hammerhead shark will be waiting for
you with their imposing presence and graceful movements.
The thrill of diving at Darwin's Tower is indescribable, and you'll be amazed by the sheer beauty of this
underwater wonderland
Our first dive site of the day is El Arenal. As we explore the vibrant coral reefs and discover the diverse
marine life, we'll have the chance to encounter an incredible array of species. Some of them could be
dolphins commonly sighted feeding on schools of fish, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, rays,
Galapagos sharks, and even tiger sharks and killer whales. But the beauty of El Arenal isn't just in its
impressive marine life; the geological formations are also a sight to behold.
After an exhilarating morning dive, we'll move on to El Derrumbe, where we'll discover the fascinating
marine diversity of the Galapagos Islands. This site offers a unique diving experience with its
underwater cliffs and caves. You'll encounter many species, including green turtles, sea lions, and
eagle rays. But what makes this site truly special is the presence of bull sharks, one of the few places
in the world where you can dive with them in shallow waters.
Our last dive of the day takes us to Shark Bay, where we'll explore the hidden treasures of the
Galapagos Islands. This site is famous for its incredible diversity of marine life, including the Galapagos
shark, eagle ray, and sea lion. But what makes this site truly unique is the presence of whale sharks
that visit the Galapagos Islands every year from July to November. It's a rare opportunity to witness
these gentle giants, and we're honored to share this experience with you.
As we continue our journey through the pristine waters of the Galapagos Islands onboard the Galaxy
Diver, we have some incredible dives planned for you on this sixth day in the deeper sea of the
Galapagos Islands.
We start our day by diving at Douglas Cape, where you can observe the marine iguanas feeding on
algae underwater. These graceful creatures spend time basking in the sun to warm up before diving
into the sea for about 20 minutes to feed. Watching them glide through the water is a truly
unforgettable experience. The seas surrounding Douglas Cape are teeming with unique marine life,
such as the famous Galapagos marine iguana, red-lipped batfish, fur seals, Galapagos penguins, and
flightless cormorants.
Our following dive site is Vicente Roca Point, located on the northwest coast of Isabela Island. The
abundance of colorful corals and gorgonians make this site one of the best in the Galapagos Islands
for enjoying macro life, such as seahorses, different species of nudibranchs, toadfish, and even the
elusive Mola Alexandrini (mola mola), the largest bony fish in the world. You may also encounter
penguins and flying cormorants, green turtles, and, if lucky, a cat shark. The stunning coral formations
and the impressive array of marine life at Vicente Roca Point will take your breath away.
This morning we'll have the opportunity to do our last dive at Cousin Rock—one of the most colorful
dive sites in the archipelago. The vibrant coral walls and gorgonians create a stunning backdrop for
encounters with seahorses, reef fish, and various nudibranchs. Keep an eye out for the curious coral
hawks as they dart around the reef. As we dive deeper, we might glimpse a school of eagle rays
gracefully gliding by or spot a white-tip shark resting in a crevice. If we're lucky, we might even see
mobulas and schools of barracudas. Finally, the playful sea lions will appear and invite us to join their
underwater games.
After lunch, we disembark and head for a reserve in the Santa Cruz Highlands. Here, we have the
unique opportunity to witness the iconic Galapagos Tortoise in its natural habitat. Walking through
the lush vegetation, we might even spot some of the other residents of the highlands, like the elusive
Galapagos Rail or the bright Vermilion Flycatcher.
After a week of unforgettable experiences, it is time to bid farewell to this enchanting land. As you'll
be transferred to Baltra Airport, take the memories of a lifetime and the magic of the Galapagos
Islands.
