A liveaboard dive trip in the Galapagos is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
With access to remote sites like Darwin and Wolf, and the chance to encounter some of the ocean’s most iconic species, it’s the kind of trip every serious diver dreams about.
Here’s a look at what it’s really like to explore the Galapagos underwater, with Galapagos Sky as your base.
Dive the Iconic Darwin and Wolf Islands
Located in the remote northern region of the Galapagos, Darwin and Wolf Islands are considered two of the best dive destinations on the planet. These sites are known for their strong currents, advanced dive conditions, and unforgettable encounters with schools of hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, and more.
These sites are accessible only via liveaboard, making your trip not only exclusive but also truly immersive.

- Schools of hammerhead sharks all year-round.
- Whale sharks (June to November).

When to Go: Best Months for Diving in the Galapagos
While diving is excellent year-round, different seasons offer unique experiences:
January to May:
Warmer waters (77–82°F / 25–28°C), calmer seas, and excellent visibility. Great for intermediate divers and spotting manta rays, reef sharks, and sea lions.
June to November: Cooler waters (72–77°F / 22–25°C), stronger currents, and peak whale shark season. Best for advanced divers seeking thrill dives at Darwin and Wolf.
