The Galápagos Islands

Formed by a series of underwater volcanic eruptions, the Galápagos Islands represent some of the most geologically young and fascinatingly biodiverse islands in the world. Famous as the site of Charles Darwin’s scientific observations in 1835 and as Ecuador’s first official National Park, the Galapagos Islands truly offer an unparalleled landscape teaming with an abundance of unique wildlife. Only here will you come face-to-face with marine iguanas, snorkel with baby sea lions, and capture up-close views of frigatebirds, Galápagos penguins, blue-footed boobies, flamingos, and giant tortoises.

There are many different options for visiting the Galapagos Islands. The most common way is through a guided four to eight-day boat tour. These tours range from economic class to first class, offering many different services and types of boats.

We can help you make arrangements on any type of boat, from economic class to first class cruise ships. Please ask for departure dates and prices!
