visit galapagos islands

Great things come in little packages. This very popular saying is one of the best ways to describe what the Galapagos Islands has to offer. A group of tiny volcanic islands that sit just off the equator, the Galapagos has for centuries, captured the interest of people from all over the globe. Important from a scientific viewpoint, as these islands were instrumental in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the Galapagos today, is a nature wonderland.

Located 1,000 km off the coast of Ecuador, these islands let you get up close and personal with nature. Here you can:

Swim with the only equatorial Penguins found in the world,
Walk alongside giant Galapagos Tortoises,
Go bird watching to spot the magnificent Waved Albatross or brightly-colored Boobies,
Scuba dive with Sea Lions, Dolphins and Whales,
Catch a glimpse of the remarkable Marine Iguana as it gracefully swims underwater,
Study the 13 species of endemic Darwin Finches
Come face-to-face with the only bird that cannot fly - the Flightless Cormorant.
