The archipelago waters are rich in nutrients and the result is an abundance of sea life. Playful seals and sea lions, unique marine iguanas, amazingly graceful manta, eagle and golden rays, Galapagos sharks and famous schools of hammerhead sharks, and majestic whale sharks are but a few of the many attractions.
This remote archipelago is a wonder of lava formations, cactus forests, lush green highlands, turquoise bays and tropical beaches. However, the main attraction is, of course, the utterly unique range of wildlife found only here.
The Islands provided inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and what’s truly special in the Galápagos Islands is that the animals have no natural fear of humans and allow us to approach them at close range.
Our small ship cruises and land-based experiences will give you the opportunity to watch giant Galápagos tortoises and Blue-Footed Boobies in the morning and snorkel with sea lions and marine iguanas in the afternoon.
