Adventures on a Galapagos Cruises
You want to visit the Galapagos Islands but don't know where to begin or what to expect. We know well it can be difficult since there is so much to do and see, and you might only have a week. We have listed out top experiences you will want to look for when you are seeking for the perfect Galapagos cruises itinerary.
Search for the great Giant Galapagos Tortoise in their natural environment
Travel to the lavish highlands of Santa Cruz and get the chance to visit a private farm and see these giant reptiles moving around in their natural environment.
The Galapagos Islands Giant Tortoise is the greater living breed of tortoise and 13th abundant living reptile, reaching over 880 lb and over 5.9 ft. They can live in the wild up to 100 years.
Snorkel with penguins
Yes, you heard me correct, penguins are not only found in the icy cold weather; the Galapagos Penguin is regional to the islands and is the only penguin that lives north of the equator. You are lucky enough when to be in the water with penguins you can see them dive off the rocks.
Watch for whales and dolphins
You never know when you will spot a group of dolphins or whales swim up to your ship. Keep your eye out during your morning cup of coffee or while you are enjoying lunch on the boat and tell your naturalist guide when you see them. They will mostly do all that to get you closer to see the animals up close.
Galapagos marine iguanas
The marine iguana is found only in the Galapagos Islands and has the ability to live and forage in the sea. They can dive over 30 feet and survive completely on underwater with algae and seaweed. You will mostly spot them living on the rocky shore, sunbathing and stack together to stay warm.
Dive Deep Under
The sea of the Galapagos Islands are full with rare animals swimming below the surface and home to two of the best dive places on the planet, Wolf & Darwin.
Aquatic creatures here are not scared of humans; sea lions will swim right up to you and start swimming around you. It is usual to see white tip sharks, yellow fin tuna and if you are lucky you might run into the gentle yet huge whale shark.
Swim and stroll on the beach with sea lions
This is many travelers favorite memory of travelling the Galapagos Islands. Whether you are snorkeling, diving or simply laying on the beach, sea lions will always want to play. They are some of the most interested and playful creatures you will encounter on your stay. Although they will swim right up to you, please avoid touching them. Have fun, stroll on the beach with them, take fun photos but still be respectful of their space.
