Route Options

The Galapagos Master offers 7 and 10 night itineraries around the Galapagos Islands departing from San Cristobal. In addition to being home to a variety of endemic, land-based wildlife, the Galapagos Islands are renowned for amazing shark diving with the chance to encounter silky sharks, the famous Galapagos shark and an abundance of schooling hammerheads.

Few people are granted the opportunity of diving these pristine waters and no place on Earth will boast such a variety of underwater sightings.

Your Cruise Director will schedule up to 4 dives per day except when afternoon land tours are offered. Due to the strength of currents, the last dive of the day must be made with plenty of daylight to ensure the safety of all divers. Therefore, there are no night dives.

Punta Carrion: is a 12 to 28 metre dive where sightings of white tipped sharks, stingrays, eagle rays, turtles and sea lions are always seen.
