This is a great alternative way from cruising to explore the Galapagos.
Staying on three of the Galapagos' key islands, San Cristobal, Isabela and Santa Cruz, where you will discover simply unique wildlife on the walking trails, along white sand beaches and in the water, all in the company of a highly qualified Galapagos guide. Each day, you will return to the comfortable surroundings of your hotel.
The Galapagos Islands are renowned for their extraordinary and unique wildlife. Situated approximately 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, this isolation has led to the evolution of distinct and endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Animals are highly adapted to this specific environment and you will see, amongst many other species, the famous Galapagos Giant Tortoises, Marine Iguanas, and the Galapagos Penguin, which is the only penguin species found north of the equator.
Due to their isolation, many of the native species on the Galapagos Islands have evolved without natural predators. This has resulted in relatively fearless and approachable wildlife, making it a haven for enthusiasts and researchers.
The islands are a wonderful location for birdwatchers, with numerous species of birds, including the iconic Blue-footed and Red-footed Boobies and Frigatebirds.
These are just a few examples, and there are many more unique and fascinating species to discover in the Galapagos Islands, which offer an unparalleled opportunity to observe wildlife in their natural habitats and witness the ongoing process of evolution.
