Galapagos Sky Liveaboard: Ocean Wonders
May 28 - June 8, 2027
Denver Divers is taking you on the ultimate bucket-list adventure aboard the Galapagos Sky, one of the world's most celebrated dive liveaboards. Operating in the Galápagos since 2001, the Galapagos Sky brings unmatched expertise to every itinerary, with National Park-certified local guides widely considered the best in the business — and it shows underwater. Three days are spent at the legendary remote sites of Wolf and Darwin Islands, where hundreds of scalloped hammerheads, manta rays, Galápagos sharks, and dolphins define every dive. With up to four dives per day and complimentary Nitrox, the action never stops. Topside, five-star service awaits: fine plated dinners, an open bar, warm towels after every dive, and a sun deck made for stargazing.
May 30–June 6 puts the group right at the sweet spot where manta season meets the start of whale shark season — a real chance of encountering both. Best of all, Denver Divers' group price is truly all-inclusive: flights from Denver, accommodations, meals, drinks, and every dive are covered, so all you have to do is show up and get wet. Spots are strictly limited, so contact Denver Divers today to secure your cabin before this departure sells out.
NOTE: We highly recommend that all divers are Nitrox certified prior to their cruise and that all divers bring their own dive computer and dive gear. Diving in Galapagos is considered Advanced Diving. Divers must have a minimum of 50–100 logged dives and recent dive experience within 6 months of the departure date. No divers under the age of 15 are permitted.
