Hello,
I am currently looking into booking a liveaboard cruise in the Galapagos, from the 7 currently available ships. Diving with huge schools of hammerheads up above, and especially with whale sharks is a dream I've been having for years now, having seen such amazing videos as this one:
Galapagos 2010 on Vimeo
[hmmmpph, forum newbies can't post URLs. Search for "Galapagos 2010 by Darek Sepiolo site:vimeo.com" on Google]
(By the way, anyone else have the feeling the colors have been made more vivid by some sort of editing in this video? That can't be real!)
I've done a lot of reading on this subject on various websites and talked to a few experienced people, and I've heard conflicted definitions of "whale shark season", ranging from May to December, August to September and even December to April! Since the whale sharks are the main attraction for me, I'd like to know - what truly is "whale shark season"?
If you oculd book a liveaboard cruise in either May or August, which would you pick? How about June? What chance do I have to see whale sharks in Darwin & Wolf during these 3 months?
Thanks a lot!
