Galapagos
Islands is home to the most diverse variety of land and sea species on
the planet.
On land, you will see the
blue footed booby,
penguins,
lava lizards, pink flamingoes,
marine iguanas,
fur seal lions
and giant tortoises. The cool and warm water mixture combined with "bajos"
- underwater volcanoes produce a great mixture of marine life,
including; sponges, corals, anemones, gorgonians, shrimps, conchs, as
well as the large species; dolphins, hammerhead and white tip sharks,
eagle rays, moray eels, and the coveted whale shark.
A trip to the Galapagos is a unique and unforgettable
nature experience. What this destination requires is a spirit of
adventure and a love of nature. The
cruise ships are exploration vessels and are very comfortable, but do
not expect a Caribbean-style cruise ship. The highlights are nature,
conservation, bird watching.
The Galapagos islands are ideal for adventure activities
like swim with dolphins, scuba diving, wildlife expeditions,
snorkeling,
surfing, kayaking,
birding or other
adventures, Galapagos has activities for everyone. All activities
can be tailored to your individual level, and range from gentle to
challenging and they are supervised by highly
qualified English-speaking leaders. |
