“The sharks have taken over Malpelo and transformed the whole island into a big cleaning station.
Hammerheads are nearly everywhere and interacting with them, the first large schools of Silkies in the season, and smaller groups of Galapagos, and the first Whale sharks are showing up.
Since the beginning of May, Malpelo is booming in life, as we have never seen it in over 7 years of operation.
As if Nature is celebrating the end of EL NIÑO, with the most gigantic shark congregation ever.
Water temperatures have dropped significantly; 27°C on the surface and 17°C below. These are the coldest measurements we’ve had in 40 meters.
These are La Niña settings. As Scientists advise, it will be like this for a while and it will develop even more in early fall and will possibly last until spring 2017.
If this happens, it will be the ultimate chance to experience Malpelo at its peak, as this happens only every 6 or 7 years.
There are still a few spaces left on our trips. Book now and enjoy Malpelo at its fullest.”
