Galápagos Islands Highlights
The Galápagos Islands are one of the most sought-after wildlife destinations in the world. In addition to our exclusive Galápagos Wildlife Cruises, we offer further trips, each taking in different parts of this unique archipelago.
The Western Galápagos itinerary takes in some of the bigger islands including Isabela and Fernandina. Three days are scheduled to explore Isabela where you'll discover iconic species that include marine iguanas, bluefooted boobies and giant tortoises.
Another of the bigger islands, Santiago, offers an equally impressive range, including Galápagos sea lions and fur seals plus endemic birds such as the Galápagos hawk and many of Darwin’s finches.
The Eastern Galápagos trip takes you to some of the smaller and more dispersed islands such as Española, Santa Fe and South Plaza. Española specialities include a breeding colony of the world’s most northerly (and only tropical) albatross – the waved albatross – while on Santa Fe, you encounter its endemic land iguana, one of three species unique to the Galápagos.
Both trips can be experienced on a variety of vessels. Whichever you choose, you'll certainly enjoy a fantastic cruise around these islands.
