GALÁPAGOS – WESTERN
Bountiful marine life
Bobbing along: a Galápagos pelican at home in Tagus Cove, Isabela Island
Lava fields. Tidal pools. Mangroves. Explore the wild landscapes of the Galápagos and see what Charles Darwin once saw: creatures unafraid of predators and open to human interaction. This expedition takes you to two of the archipelago’s biggest (and youngest) islands. At a mere 1 million years old, seahorse-shaped Isabela reigns as the largest and is known for having the world’s second biggest active crater. Santa Cruz places second in size, but lays claim to the Charles Darwin Research Station as well as breeding centres for giant tortoises and land iguanas. Come swim with turtles and marvel at Marine Iguanas and Nazca boobies as you travel through the distant islands Darwin made famous.
