 WOLF [WENMAN] ISLAND
Wolf Island, one of the more northern islands of the Galapagos, is completely uninhabited. The water surrounding this petite island is several degrees warmer than that of the more southern islands of this Subtropic region. The unusual currents that flow into these nutrient rich waters make Wolf Island a diver's paradise. Visibility within these waters caries from 30' to 100' and the currents change very rapidly, creating a exciting diving experience. This island is not traversed by visitors, as hiking is prohibited. The rocky cliffs of Wolf Island create a steep slope to the surrounding waters. Within these waters lay an abundance of life. Along the reef you can catch a glimpse of the yellowtail surgeonfish, butterfly fish, tanks and puffers. Wolf's waters are also home to green, spotted morays, trumpet fish, coronet fish, lobsters, pufferfish, creolfish, crabs, and anemones. One of the most common sightings by visitors to Wolf Island is that of the hammerhead shark. These shallow water dwellers cover a vast area along the reef. If weather permits, divers may have the opportunity to experience a night dive in these lively majestic waters.
