Galapagos Itineraries

Welcome to the Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago that inspired Charles Darwin's theories of evolution and natural selection after he landed there in 1835 on the HMS Beagle. The remote islands draw an estimated 100,000 visitors a year eager for a glimpse of the unique creatures and flora that Darwin called "a little world within itself."

Isolated for many thousands of years, this fascinating archipelago is truly one of the most unique places on earth. Formed thousands of years ago by a series of underwater volcanic eruptions, the Islands sit atop gigantic submarine mountains and play host to a myriad of amazing wildlife.

Getting to the Galapagos is surprisingly simple, with regular flights from the Ecuadorean cities of Quito and Guayaquil. Then visitors are usually bused to a ferry or cruise ship. Authorized guides are required for shore excursions and the number of passengers and boat trips is strictly regulated.
