| The Galapagos archipelago has been described as magical, enchanting and hypnotizing. Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, these islands have a geographic isolation that has contributed to the development of a unique and colorful array of plant and animal life that represent a “crossroads in evolution.” |

When travelers return from visiting the Galapagos Islands, their eyes sparkle with wonder as they tell marvelous tales. You may think their stories are pure fabrication: birds that no longer fly, tortoises weighing up to 500 pounds, Antarctic penguins living right on the equator, blue-footed booby birds doing sophisticated mating dances. | |

You would be wrong. The Galapagos Islands are just as amazing as everyone says. Your Galapagos accommodations are aboard one of the many authorized Galapagos cruise vessels. We recommend a 4 or 7 night cruise. |

IMPORTANT: Visitors must be in reasonable physical condition since transfers from the cruise boats to the islands are done safely by tender boats and landings are direct to the volcanic rock or into the water, sometimes waist deep. The trails are sometimes across rough volcanic terrain. |
