Brand New Humboldt Explorer

The wonders of the Galapagos diving experience will be with you for a lifetime. Few will have the opportunity of diving some of the most remote and pristine seas in the world. No other place on Earth boasts such a variety of sea and land life. Your seven nights and eight days will be filled with memories to last a lifetime - thrilling dives, exotic vistas - and these will be only a small part of your experience.

Galapagos National Park guides have a wealth of knowledge about these unique volcanic islands and are ready to share their experience with every guest, as well as provide you with the customer service and all of the amenities for which the Explorer Ventures Fleet is known.

Diving the Galapagos can be challenging, but the rewards are great - schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, whale sharks, mantas and myriad other pelagic creatures frequent these waters.

Visit the Explorer Ventures web site to learn more about diving the Galapagos, Explorer Ventures: Galapagos Islands

Our plan at this time is to travel to Quito, Ecuador on July 17 (to insure our dive gear arrives and travels with us to the islands). This will give us a full day to explore Quito. Once aboard the Humboldt Explorer we are divers and not able to disembark until we return to San Cristobal at the end of the trip. We plan to spend two full days participating in land tours following our dive adventure. These two land days are optional, but highly suggested.
