Dive with giant oceanic mantas at the remote Darwin and Wolf Islands, the wild northern jewels of the Galápagos. Reached only by liveaboard, these current-swept pinnacles serve up mantas, hammerhead schools, Galápagos sharks and, in season, whale sharks, in some of the most thrilling big-animal diving on Earth. Mantas are best in the warm season from December to May, when the water is calmer and clearer.
