About this dive site
Far Galápagos pinnacle with dolphins, sharks and schools.
Wolf Island sits far north of the main Galápagos archipelago on liveaboard-only itineraries with ripping currents and dense fish biomass. Hammerheads, Galápagos sharks, dolphins and eagle rays reward experienced divers who accept cold water and serious flow. It pairs naturally with Darwin on the same trip.
Open-water and liveaboard schedules hinge on swell and current - expect early starts and flexible routing. Calendar peak is December - May, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Wolf Island day to day, not just the map pin.
