A diving-par-excellence tour!
*7-day Island-Hopping tour.
Antoine feeling about this tour
This 7-day diving tour on the Galapagos archipelago will satisfy divers with and without experience. Indeed, unlike a cruise in the Galapagos Islands which is dedicated only to divers or only to non-divers, our “Galapagos diving” tour satisfies both types of travelers. Some days are divided into two distinct visits: one for diving, the other for a naturalist visit.
Without impacting the budget, you will fully enjoy your passion, and friends or relatives who do not wish to scuba dive will discover the charm and beauty of the Galapagos Islands by land. You can always check our Selection of Diving Cruises in Galápagos for having a better idea of the available accommodation we offer for an unforgettable diving tour.
