Description
Amazing wildlife, both on land and underwater, make the remote Galapagos Islands a bucket list destination. On this 10-day trip through the best of the Galapagos, you’ll uncover the outstanding natural beauty of these islands both on foot and by boat, looking for giant tortoises, sharks, blue-footed boobies, pelicans, seals, iguanas, dolphins, whales and birdlife along the way. Trace Darwin’s theory of evolution, go snorkelling across multiple islands, hike up a volcano for the best views and soak up the experience with a group of likeminded travellers and a local leader who knows all the best spots.

Highlights
- Encounter the nearly extinct giant Galapagos tortoises, as well as blue-footed boobies, pelicans, frigatebirds, land and marine iguanas, sea lions, fur seals and maybe even dolphins and whales!
- Go snorkelling on multiple days throughout different islands, keeping an eye out for sea turtles and the harmless Galapagos shark.
- Get your blood pumping as you scale the Sierra Negra Volcano – one of the Galapagos’ most active volcanoes and home to the world's second-largest crater!
- Learn how to make the famed encebollado – a local tuna soup considered one of the best in the world! Watch a cooking demonstration, then tuck into the hearty dish for lunch.
- Experience a land-based Galapagos trip, using locally owned hotels on the islands instead of staying on a boat – this means you’ll have more opportunities to interact with the locals.
