EXPERIENCES FOR A LIFETIME
Imagine spending the night in front of the sea, where blue-footed boobies, sea lions, and other animal citizens of Galapagos are seen. Also known as the Enchanted Islands, it is a perfect place for all kinds of adventure-seekers who love wildlife and water.
A typical day involves hiking on different islands to learn more about the volcanic and geologic history and cooling off on the pristine white sand beaches in the afternoon. Strap on your snorkelling gear, swim with inquisitive sea lions, and take underwater photographs of unusual fishes darting between colourful coral!
An expedition boat through the Galapagos Archipelago is a unique experience that you won’t easily forget. Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution and of the survival of the fittest came to being right here on these islands.
The archipelago is located more than 965 km/600 mi off the coast of Ecuador, just below the equator. Nature on these remote islands and in their surrounding waters is so strange, diverse and abundant, that the Galapagos is often praised as one of the most impressive and magical eco-destinations in the world.
