Visitor site · Wolf Island
Fondeadero, Wolf: the sheltered anchorage of the liveaboards, a calmer dive with playful fur seals and sea lions, reef fish, turtles and rays.
About the site
Fondeadero means "anchorage" in Spanish, and this is the sheltered bay at Wolf Island where the liveaboards anchor, protected from the wind and the strongest currents.
That makes it a calmer dive than the other sites of Wolf: a good place for a first dive at the island, or for a relaxed dive between the shark dives. Galápagos fur seals and sea lions often come to play with the divers, reef fish, moray eels and green turtles are common, and rays and sharks pass along the edge of the bay.
From the boat, the steep cliffs of Wolf are busy with frigatebirds, red-footed and Nazca boobies and swallow-tailed gulls.
Fondeadero is visited only on liveaboard dive cruises.
