Introduction

The Galapagos Islands are one of the finest destinations on earth to witness wildlife. The volcanic archipelago’s isolated beaches and secluded coastline are home to a diversity of plants and wildlife found nowhere else. On marvellous expeditions, come up close to the mighty iguana, admire at brightly coloured Sally Lightfoot crabs and kayak among friendly penguins off the coastline. Perfectly suited to families, we have created a land-based suggested itinerary, creating a comfortable journey that retains the adventure and discovery of a classic Galapagos holiday.
