Darwin found inspiration for his groundbreaking book ‘The Origin of Species’ in the Galapagos Islands. On this isolated tropical archipelago, almost 1000km off mainland Ecuador, he discovered wildlife present nowhere else on Earth; today, Galapagos tours will still astonish nature and wildlife lovers. The volcanic islands are considered to be a living laboratory by scientists and represent one of the most pristine yet fragile areas in the world. This enchanting environment is characterised by stark lava fields, cactus forests, volcanic craters, mangrove lagoons and turquoise waters.
Without a doubt, the highlight of Galapagos Islands tours is the incredible wildlife. With very few external predators and limited human interference, the species that inhabit the Galapagos have always shown a near-fearless attitude to man. Close encounters are assured and we may find ourselves stepping over snoozing Sea lions and iguanas or watching up close the courting rituals of Blue-footed boobies, albatross or frigatebirds. A mask and snorkel will reveal an exciting underworld – turtles, sharks, rays and colourful reef fish are abundant and Sea lions love to come and play!

Andrew Longden Galapagos Walking AdventureA very comprehensive tour of the Galapagos, staying on all four of the populated islands. We saw a great deal of wildlife both in and out of the water. The snorkelling was superb – a vast number of fish, turtles and sharks. The land based activities were also fascinating, whether exploring volcanic landscapes or conservation centres. The pace was perfect, with a little time to explore the generally superb local restaurants. As you might expect, seafood is excellent, plentiful and relatively inexpensive. Surprisingly the islands have a few microbreweries producing exceptional ales!! The hotels were all comfortable and very friendly – we had one night in an exceptionally noisy room but our guide arranged to move us the following day, so not a big issue. The boat transfers and trips were exclusive to our group and of a very high standard – particularly on the last full day.
Jayne McKenna Galapagos Walking AdventureWhat an amazing experience. We swam with sea lions, penguins, sharks and turtles. We even saw seahorses. The fish were also spectacular, so don’t take those for granted. The hiking was good although some bad weather for us but the views were sensational. If you were thinking of booking this trip, just do it, you won’t be disappointed.
