Situated within the stunning Machalilla National Park, Isla de la Plata is a haven for diverse marine life and bird species akin to those of the Galápagos. This island is particularly famous for its large population of hawksbill turtles and is a common destination for humpback whales and giant manta rays!

Our journey begins in Puerto López, where we board our boat. From June to October, the voyage offers a spectacular opportunity to spot humpback whales.

Upon reaching our initial dive site, we will be equipped with our diving gear, ready to embark on our first underwater adventure. Let's dive into our exciting first dive!

Following a brief pause, we will prepare ourselves for the second breathtaking dive in the vibrant waters of the Ecuadorian Coast!

After completing the dives, we will enjoy a box lunch before heading back to Puerto López.
