December 5th thru 16th

Eugene Skin Divers and Blue Green Expeditions are headed to one of the most enchanting places on earth - The Galapagos Islands. These famous remote islands off the coast of Ecuador are nature’s evolutionary laboratory and perfectly situated in the ocean currents to create a diverse ecosystem like no other. The archipelago contains more distinct species of flora and fauna than in any other place on earth!

We have designed a custom itinerary with longer segments to maximize our time in each location. This enables us to explore more remote islands and allows us to engage in unique animal behaviors and interactions. The dates for our trip will not put us in the region for prime whale shark season, however, there are plenty of shark opportunities with hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, and white tips as well as seals, Mola Mola, and many other big animals.

Blue Green Expeditions is adding an optional land tour package at the end of the trip (see below). Participants will stay on board the m/v Aqua while visiting the unique and fascinating wildlife of the Galapagos archipelago.

As an added value, Blue Green Expeditions is taking care of many of the logistics of this trip by incorporating the domestic flights, the hotel in Guayaquil on December 5th and all the transfers to and from the airport, hotel and the boat on the coast.

Let us make your experience in the Galapagos a smooth and hassle free journey that you will never forget!

This is a Ladies Only Trip

August 22nd thru 29th

We are returning to the Sea of Cortez for the 4th Annual Wander Women to benefit Dive for a Cure. Join Dora, Susan and Diana for the third annual, all-ladies trip aboard Quino el Guardian! It's like summer dive camp for women. And to make it even more special, we are donating 5% of the trip price to Dive for a Cure for breast cancer research.  We will again be diving with the fabulous crew aboard the Quino el Guardian.

The Sea of Cortez - known as the Gulf of California - is a breathtaking destination for scuba diving, snorkeling, and exploration. Legendary diver Jacques Cousteau described the Sea of Cortez as the "world's aquarium".  Dive on untouched walls and reefs abounding in marine life. Encounter large and small whale species.  Snorkel with whale sharks. Dive with playful sea lion colonies.  And see countless eels, octopus, fish and jumping mobula rays. It's a macro photographers dream with nudibranchs, colorful blennys, dancing jawfish and sea horses.

Between dives, you can hike and explore remote uninhabited islets and at night you can gaze at the Milky Way. You will dine on incredible cuisine and enjoy the friendly service that has made us famous.  Give us one week and we will help you create a lifetime of memories while forging new friendships aboard Quino el Guardian.
