Jenny Waack (founder of Galapagos Shark Diving®) and Jonathan Green (Tour Leader of Galapagos Shark Diving® and Director of Galapagos Whale Shark Project) discuss a question they get often, “What is the best time to go diving in the Galapagos Islands?”
Join Galapagos Shark Diving and make a difference in shark conservation through our Citizen Science Expeditions. In 2024, we tagged five newly named whale sharks—Elise, Luna, Makeba, Olivia, and Star—each contributing vital data to protect these gentle giants. With every dive, participants help gather critical research data, supporting efforts to safeguard one of the world’s most important marine ecosystems. Learn more about our whale shark conservation work and how to get involved.

Starting August 1, 2024, Galapagos Islands' entrance fee will be $200 for international travelers, aiming to fund conservation and sustainable development, marking the first fee change in 26 years. This initiative supports local biodiversity and tourism models aligning with conservation efforts.
Galapagos Shark Diving has successfully concluded the 'Name a Whale Shark Contest 2023', combining diving and marine conservation. Participants in the Galapagos Islands named whale sharks, contributing to the Galapagos Whale Shark Project. Funds raised helped purchase three satellite tags for tracking named sharks 'Makeba', 'Luna', and 'Star'. This initiative, drawing exclusively female names, reflects the unique female-dominant whale shark population in the Galapagos.
