Amazing sightings!
I loved to see all these animals underwater: hammerheads, whale sharks, iguanas, dolphins, mantas, mobulas, sting rays, eagle rays, dolphins, redlipped batfish, silkies, Galapagos sharks, turtles,... So many! And the landtour was great too :) The crew was very friendly as well. For big marine animals it is THE place. I like how the national park protects the environment.

Excellent dive operation
Galapagos Master has the best itinerary, spending two gays at Darwin as well as diving at Isabella and Fernandina, so we saw Whale sharks (some massive!), schooling Hammerheads, Marine Iguanas and Mola, as well as amazing marine life and two good land tours.
