Why Humboldt Explorer?
The Humboldt Explorer holds special permits that let it spend up to four full days diving at Wolf and Darwin — more than most Galápagos liveaboards. This means you get maximum time at the islands famed for hammerheads, whale sharks, and world-class pelagic action!

- Hammerhead sharks: Large schools still common, especially early mornings. Peak hammerhead season is more tied to June–Nov, but Jan–Feb still delivers good action.
- Galápagos sharks & silky sharks: Present year-round.
- Turtles: Very active — January/February is nesting season for green sea turtles, so sightings increase.
- Reef fish: Extremely abundant thanks to warmer waters — lots of parrotfish, surgeonfish, and other colorful tropical species.
- Sea lions: Active and playful in the water.
- Marine iguanas: Especially in Jan–Feb, they start mating (on land), and in the water you’ll often see them feeding on algae.
- Dolphins: Spotted throughout the year.
