If you want to visit paradise once in your lifetime, then a Galapagos Islands tour is strongly recommended. If you don't believe such a place exists, then ask the thousands who have experienced the enchantment of the place firsthand. Or read Charles Darwin's "The Origin of the Species by Natural Selection," which documents his 1835 exploration of the exotic islands.
The Galapagos are an archipelago of volcanic islands 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. They're home to dozen of species of birds and reptiles, many endemic to the islands, because they have evolved in isolation for thousands of years. Many visitors aren't prepared for such close encounters with the Galapagos wildlife. They also are amazed that in this "natural laboratory of evolution," the animals have no fear of humans.
Galapagos Islands Tour: Species and Naturalists
A Galapagos Island tour will be your observatory for many species of rare and exotic birds on the Galapagos, including the blue-footed and red-footed boobies, frigate birds, Galapagos penguins, flightless cormorants. Land and sea iguanas, dozens of giant turtles, and sea lions are other "famous" inhabitants of the islands.
Your Galapagos Islands tour (along with all other Galapagos tours), includes the guidance of a naturalist. These expert guides are considered the best in the world, and accompany tourists on the islands to interpret the environment for them. They also help enforce the strict regulations put in place by the government of Ecuador, which seeks to preserve the islands' wildlife. Their regulations ensure visitors to the Galapagos will experience the magic for generations to come.
