Galapagos Cruise
About Galapagos Cruises
Taking a Galapagos cruise is taking a step back into history. This archipelago of volcanic islands is located in the Pacific Ocean near the equator and was Charles Darwin's living laboratory of evolution. The Galapagos Islands and the surrounding area are a dedicated marine preserve second in size only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The original name "Insulae de los Galopegos" translates into "Islands of the Tortoises", named after the islands' giant tortoises.
Isolation from the world's continents for millions of years has led to a unique eco-system and abundant and rare varieties of wildlife. Some of the species found in the Galapagos include giant tortoises, prehistoric land and marine iguanas, sea lions, whales, manta rays, dolphins, small reef sharks, sea cucumbers and other beautiful and exotic wildlife species.
The Galapagos Islands are a birder's paradise and cruise guests can observe flightless cormorant, a variety of mockingbirds, pink flamingos, hawks, waved albatross, the great frigatebird, blue and red footed-boobys, Galapagos penguins and tanagers (Darwin's finches). Most of the species found on the Galapagos are found no where else on earth.
Approximately 40 Galapagos cruise itineraries are offered ranging from 3 to 16 days. Most of the cruises use smaller, expedition style vessels with experienced naturalists on board providing a unique and personal cruise experience that cannot be found anywhere else.
