There is no place in the world like the Galapagos Islands. Tours and cruises to the mysterious islands vary, but there is something for everyone to enjoy in this amazing natural wonder. Experience the unusual volcanic landscape, the array of marine life and the idiosyncratic animals on a Galapagos holiday.

There are a few variations of Galapagos island tours available, depending on how much time you have to spend in this beautifully unique and awe-inspiring place.

Tours to the parks will introduce you to a land where giant tortoises live for a century, where birds have blue feet, and where you can see vastly different species like marine iguanas and flightless cormorants taking to the water together.

The best way to absorb the variety of the islands is to embark on a Galapagos cruise which will allow you to see how the animals differ from place to place. You may even be able to notice the variations of finches (or “buntings”) from island to island just as Charles Darwin did on his famous voyage in the nineteenth century.
