| The Galapagos Islands |
| |
Set along the equator, some 600 miles (960km) off the South American coast of Ecuador, is a crown jewel of the natural world. The Galapagos Islands live up to our dreams of a sheltered place far removed from the usual concerns. The skies are almost always sunny, and the sea breezes create that perfect air temperature that instantly relaxes the body. The ocean is an ever inviting turquoise blue, matched by long sandy beaches of pink, crystal white, volcanic black and looking-glass green. |

What will make your visit here truly exceptional are the many opportunities for close up encounters with wildlife. The islands and surrounding waters are quite literally teaming with exotic and colorful creatures that have never learned to fear humans. This translates into a series of daily peak experiences including snorkeling with playful sea lions, tracking giant tortoise and trading stares with unconcerned iguanas. Bird life is abundant, varied and fearless. You may have to give way as a blue footed booby crosses your path, or have the opportunity to observe a Galápagos hawk perched just a few steps away, as an albatross launches itself off a cliff on a journey that will encompass thousands of miles.
A cruise to the Galapagos islands with us will feature 7 nights/8 days of incomparable activities. Each day is filled with walks on beaches or along cliffs, snorkeling turquoise waters, kayaking alongside cliffs swarming with birdlife and of course, resting and eating like in a first-class restaurant. If you are a nature lover, Galapagos is the ideal place for you. It is an archipelago where evolution becomes an evident reality and one of the few remaining unspoiled places left on earth.
