Darwin Island

Untouched Wild Paradise

What you need to know about Darwin Island, Galápagos

Darwin Island is most known as one of the world’s best dive sites in the world. It was renamed in honor of Charles Darwin (Naturist). Darwin often comes vertically from the ocean. Galapagos is regarded as one of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World in large part because of the remarkable underwater life there. The seas of Darwin Island are frequently home to large schools of hammerhead sharks. 

Darwin and Wolf are the tops of enormous, now-extinct underwater volcanoes that sprang up from the ocean bottom more than half a mile below. The Darwin Arch, an outstanding stone arch creation, is one of this little island’s principal draws. Numerous endemic birds reside in this arch.

Considered a “marine wonderland”, Darwin’s Island is perfect for diving. Among the animals you can run across when diving here are hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, rays, green turtles, and a variety of tropical reef fish. Both Darwin and Wolf Islands are susceptible to unrestricted fishing and dive tourism because of their significant distance from the core islands. On this behalf, in 2008 The Galápagos National Park constructed a permanent floating base at Wolf Island for monitoring these waterways to enhance management in the region.
