Galapagos Islands Cruises & Holidays
Charles Darwin first brought these extraordinary islands to the world's attention in 1835 and the experiences he enjoyed whilst exploring the islands, can today be shared by the fortunate visitor.
The Islands are a living laboratory of evolution where birds and animals have no fear of man. Blue-footed boobies, flightless cormorants, land and marine iguanas and giant tortoises roam freely as they did thousands of years ago. Anyone interested in natural history, wildlife and ecology will find a Galapagos Islands tour a truly memorable experience.
A Galapagos Island holiday and cruise offers one of the most unique, magical and unforgettable holiday experiences in South America. On your Galapagos cruise you can swim, snorkel or dive with seals, whale sharks and penguins, wander with tortoises and enjoy the animated mating rituals of the red-footed booby. The fact that the islands have never been connected with the mainland means that they are home to innumerable endemic species of wildlife and plants, many of which are even unique to just one island due to the differences in landscape and climate within the archipelago.
You can explore some of the islands on a day trip from Santa Cruz, but to fully appreciate the unique wildlife and landscape a full Galapagos cruise is a must. You can join a group of like-minded travellers or charter a boat for a whole party of family or friends for a unique Galapagos holiday. Our Galapagos Island tours all offer comfortable cabins with private facilities, air-conditioning throughout, excellent cuisine and expert naturalist guides.
