What Makes These Islands So Special?

You'll find something truly remarkable 600 miles off Ecuador's coast - the Galapagos Islands where pristine volcanic landscapes meet incredible wildlife you won't see anywhere else on Earth. This is where Darwin got inspired to develop his evolution theory and today the National Park protects an amazing 97% of the land keeping those volcanic craters lava tunnels and stunning turquoise waters just as nature intended.

Where Should You Go to See Specific Wildlife?

Each island offers its own unique wildlife experiences. Head to Española Island if you want to catch nearly all the world's waved albatrosses during breeding season while North Seymour is perfect for watching blue-footed boobies do their fascinating courtship dance. Isabela's your best bet for a bit of everything - it's the biggest island with 5 active volcanoes and you'll spot penguins marine iguanas and giant tortoises. Over on Santa Cruz you can visit the Charles Darwin Research Station and the famous El Chato reserve for giant tortoises and if you're lucky you might catch white-tipped reef sharks swimming in Academy Bay.

Can You Save Money Booking Tours When You Get There?

You definitely can save quite a bit by booking once you're in the Galapagos. TourRadar travelers have found some amazing deals especially last-minute cruises in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island saving up to 70% off regular prices. Plus booking locally gives you more room to customize your trip exactly how you want it.
