Add more meaning to your next liveaboard trip while diving with whale sharks

Liveaboard trips are run during peak season for hammerheads and whale sharks, huge school (hundreds) of hammerhead sharks swimming — Liveaboard trips are run during peak season for hammerheads and whale sharks.

The team behind Galapagos Shark Diving—some of whom with up to 30 years of experience in the Galapagos Islands—believes that the best kind of diving is diving with a purpose. To create truly meaningful underwater experiences, they charter liveaboard trips in the Galapagos with a shark scientist joining every itinerary.

Trips, either eight or 15 days, are all offered during peak season for shark encounters: June to October ushers in whale sharks galore, plus hundreds of hammerheads. It’s an amazing experience made life-changing when coupled with all that the researchers offer, from talks about whale sharks to what’s happening right now in conservation efforts.

This style of trip tends to bond guests, who keep in touch long after the trip is over. Best of all, 100 percent

of the profits are donated to the Galapagos Whale Shark Project to protect the islands and the animals living there.
