Galapagos Magic

 

Embark on a discovery of the islands that Charles Darwin was so impressed with as a young naturalist.
Today the islands still draw people from around the world to see first hand the unique creatures that differ from island to island as well as the differing natural environments.
This cruise combines the Northern and Western routes. Six of the Galapagos species most want to see are found in one area on the Northern itinerary. Seal Lions, Fur Seals, Nazca Boobies, Frigetgate birds (great), the red footed booby and marine iguanas!
The Western islands are the youngest and famed for lava landscapes, beaches and giant uplifted coral beds. Here you can also find fur seals, marine iguanas, medium finches and of course the giant tortoise.
The Galapagos are exotic, definitely a true bucket list travel adventure and this is the trip of a lifetime.
