Wolf Island
Isla Wolf
is an inaccessible volcanic island known for being one of the most sought-after
dive sites on Earth. Its waters are populated with great schools of scalloped hammerheads,
whale and Galápagos sharks, as well as green turtles and eagle rays. There you can dive
the Landslide, a sloping wall teeming with moray eels and other pelagic life.
•
Darwin Island
Right next door to Wolf Island, Darwin is probably the most popular dive site in the world
because of its emblematic arch and the megadiversity marine life beneath it. The north-
western island is one of the smallest on the archipelago (not a mile wide) and is a dive-
only destination. Whale sharks can be seen from June to November but Silky sharks,
Manta Rays and dolphins can be seen year-round, as well as schools of rainbow runners
and mackerel. Most tours combine Darwin and Wolf as they are so close.
