The Galápagos Islands in Ecuador is one of those rare adventure travel destinations
where you become accustomed to being surprised. Nothing quite compares to the
joy of observing the unusual and friendly Galapagos animals in the wild here, and the sense of wonder and privilege
felt while spending time with creatures that don’t run or fly away when humans
approach. The Galápagos Island archipelago is home to many endemic animals, most of which are fearless
because of their lack of natural predators. From the world’s only seagoing lizards to
flightless cormorants and penguins, flamingos, inflatable frigate birds, wave
albatrosses, clownish boobies, patriarchal giant tortoises, and 13 species of
Darwin finches, you can enjoy thrilling encounters with many varieties of Galapagos animals—up close and in
large numbers—who are completely at ease among human visitors.
On our Galapagos Island adventure travel vacation by catamaran, you will have many extraordinary opportunities to swim and go snorkeling with many types of marine mammals such as sea lions, fur seals, dolphins, and manta, eagle, and golden rays, as well as thousands of the 300 species of colorful fish.
