Galapagos

The Galapagos Islands quite rightly deserve their reputation as one of the best wildlife destinations on earth. From the famous giant tortoises, from which the islands get their name, to the blue-footed boobies and Sally Lightfoot Crabs - these enchanted islands, 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador have a diversity of mammals, birds and aquatic life that is truly unique. What makes the Galapagos so special though, is the animals' complete lack of fear - enabling for some very close encounters!

There are both land and boat based itineraries with regular shore excursions accompanied by highly experienced naturalist guides. Smaller boats will offer you a more intimate experience of the islands, and are highly recommended. Holiday extensions incorporating the mainland of Ecuador and also Peru are both possible, and highly recommended.
